Goodwins Theory Applied to our Treatment

I get the feeling I ended up with the worst thing to do here...

Well, with the nature of the song having 2 genres mixed together, we thought the video should have too. There's 2 halves of the video, the indie half and the hiphop half. The indie half will be mainly performance based with a band consisting of mainly young males lip-syncing to the song. The location will also reflect this with it being shot in a garage giving the indie feel to the video. The hiphop half of the video will have a female lead with possibly more dancers in a dance studio. This will have them dancing, which is characteristic of the genre. The clothes they wear will also reflect their respective genres.

The visuals won't be illustrative of the video, they will have elements of it but not direct illustration. They will be more amplifying the lyrics with the tension between the 2 lead vocalists.

There will be a large number of CU's of the artists (money shots) of the 2 main vocalists. There could be some kind of symbolic thing representing the artist, like the logo spray painted on the wall in the garage for the band or a typical type of guitar etc.

We will make reference to the video for Walk This Way - Aerosmith ft. Run DMC where there are 2 genres both competing in the song. It will be having the 2 separate rooms on a split screen, referencing eachother.
