Treatment

The theme of my song is beauty, modernisation and Britain. Throughout my video I plan on implementing these themes in a variety of ways. For example I will have shots of both performance and narrative in rural and urban areas; this is to compare the two places in terms of beauty and modernity. The lyrics within the song are extremely important, therefore I will have many people lip syncing (close ups) to reinforce the lyrics importance. I will use tracking shots to follow my performer; the locations of the shots will be in old town. I will also have my actress dancing under a waterfall due to the name of the song; she will then proceed to dry herself with a Union Jack towel which is iconographic of the song’s theme. I will be filming some shots of an audience and band in concert and splicing them into the video.

Lyrics timing

“Waterfall”

Chimes sing Sunday morn [0.15-0.28]
Today's the day She's sworn [0.19-0.23]
To steal what She never could own [0.24-0.27]
And race from this hole She calls home [0.29-0.35]

Now you're at the wheel, Tell me how how does it feel [0.38-0.46]
So good to have equalised [0.47-0.51]
To lift up the lids of your eyes [0.52-0.58]

As the miles they disappear [1.01-1.05]
See land begin to clear [1.06-1.10]
Free from the filth and the scum, This American satellite's won [1.11-1.22]

She'll carry on through it all, She's a waterfall [1.24-1.31]

She'll carry on through it all, She's a waterfall [1.34-1.40]

See the steeple pine, The hills as old as time [1.43-1.52]
Soon to be put to the test [1.52-1.56]
To be whipped by the winds of the West [1.56-2.03]

Stands on shifting sands [2.06-2.10]
The scales held in her hands [2.12-2.15]
The wind it just whips Her and wails, And fills up Her rickety sails [2.15-2.26]

She'll carry on through it all, She's a waterfall [2.29-2.36]

She'll carry on through it all, She's a waterfall [2.39-2.45]
