1st Treatment for Joey Bada$$ Killuminati

Summary of the narrative

·         The video is based on the daily routines of a teenage rappers/boys who are rather rebellious and passionate about his beliefs, lifestyle and art, but rather than stating the obvious he prefers to go about it in a more artistic and intelligent way. We aimed to create a video that will express the rebellious feel that this song gives us. The story line opens with the teenagers daily morning routine which includes getting ready and dressed in urban and ‘lousy’ gear, grabbing his skateboard and skating off in his East London estate. He then meets up with his skateboarder friends in similar clothing who area apparently waiting for him. As skateboarders are often seen as rebellious and anti-social, we chose to make skateboards and skateboarding one of the main activities in this video. The characters appear to be on their journey to school in the late morning. On their way they face various obstacles and difficulties from life.

·         The lyrics of the song are very metaphorical and there seems to be no apparent story line. Therefore, the video with its story line will make various references to the lyrics of the song through props, actions and scenery.

·         The concept of this video is to show the daily routines of the character in an exaggerated and somewhat humorous way, in other words an introduction to who they are and what they stand for.

·         The locations for this song include a bedroom, the interior of a flat, a school and various streets around forest gate/Stratford.

·         The length of the video and song roughly around three minutes, but we may add a few seconds of film extra at the end.

·         The actors used in the video will be friends who are willing to help as well as ourselves. The two main actors and around 7 extra actors.

·         The main props will be; skateboards, Wu-Tang clan T shirts, a fake syringe, grills (golden teeth), school bags, random clothing accessories such as watches.

·         The audience is mainly for people who are into Hip Hop music, but of course we aim to attract all music listeners

·         We will be using YouTube for our channel for broadcasting.
