Treatment of Music Video (Proposed/1st Draft)

FEMINARCHY -

Our music video is a collaboration of Beyoncé's music and fragments of speech from interviews with the star. There are three main scenes in our music video. We aim to set the initial scene within a pure white room, with single seated desks for our female dancers/actors to be sat at, at which point after the opening speech of Beyoncé accompanied with short one second cuts from footage from the entire video the title 'Feminarchy' appears in bold white letters, the music starts and the first singer walks from the back to the front of the room, turns and directs her speech to the girls, a hard cut into the next section of music, the second scenes begins, set in dark/black room, the desks have gone and men are sat down in the girls chairs, the girls begin to dance in a derogatory manner, around the men, but not within the 'male gaze' of camera positioning, therefore this footage should appear awkward and uncomfortable to view. The third hard cut is meet and the music from the initial scene is brought back from where it left off, this time the second singer comes forward and speaks amongst the dancers now in freeze frame, the second singer will walk around the girls as if to give the effect of instructing them on there next move. As the song is brought back 'I woke up like this' the girls begin to show empowerment and push the men forward, the men fall and crawl away, the girls gather as one and begin to dance behind the two singers and they sing the final section of the song, the song ends and a loud bass drop (booming sound) is heard, as this happens the scene goes blank/black alongside the effect of an old TV screen tuning out/off.
