Mood board

I used the images above as they fit with the genre of song I want to create a music video to. Some of the  images are quite gruesome and scary as one of the characters has skin pealing from their face and another two have blood on their hands. They all have a dark feel to them and give an intense feeling to the audience. The cobwebs give a spooky feel to the mood board and the razor gives it a sense of danger. All of these aspects will be shown and felt by the audience throughout the music video.

Treatment-Music video idea

I want to create a music video to a rock song which will include a number of visual aspects. I have a number of ideas to use and these will be discussed below.
I want to use cobwebs to make it look eerie and spooky. The main character will then come through this and have artificial/heavy make up on which the camera will be focused on. The make up will include dark eye shadow, a pale powered face and red or purple lip stick. Their hair will either be black or of a grey colour.


The video will show that the person does not live a normal life and sees the world differently from everybody else. This will be shown through the things she does such as peeling her face. I will use special make up on her face for this to look real and believable. This will attract the audiences attention and keep them engaged.

I want the camera to act like another character following her, the pace and editing will gradually get faster as if the person is going crazy and having a mental breakdown. Her journey will either be through London, on a train or bus.

Next the girl would walk along the road shaving the side of head and then draw things all up her arm. At some point she may write certain lyrics of the song onto a piece of paper or on herself.

When it gets to the climax of the video plates, cups and a variety of things will get smashed to represent her completely breaking down. The girl will then throw a bunch of clothes onto the floor, if I get permission from a shop it will take place there if not the video will have to switch to her bedroom or outside somewhere. She will then lay on the clothes and from the girls point of view, I will edit the surroundings as if it everything is spinning around her. This will demonstrate that her mind is losing control.

At some point in the video I want to use fake blood but I am not sure yet where to use it and whether it would fit in with the story and what happens to the character during the video.
I also want to use bubble wrap in some way and maybe flick paint towards the camera but have some sort of glass in front of the camera. This would be effective and show the girls anger.
