music video treatment

 Scene 1: The camera moves in a slow motion to the student where she has a look of disbelief and then turns to the teacher who walks from his table to her chair to hand her the exam paper. Upon receiving the test paper, she smiles at the teacher and mutters a "thank you" as she realises she got an A. The camera then zooms in on the student going through her test paper and checking anything she missed. The camera then focuses on the speaker in the classroom as the music gets louder. This is when the camera focuses back on the student who gets up and starts to walk out of the classroom. As she walks out of the classroom, the camera focuses on her shoes as she walks in slow motion. Just as she is about to leave the class, the camera quickly scans the room and focuses on two particular students who have an envious facial expression. Then the camera zooms in on to the students bag and then her ears ash she is putting the beats on. The camera then spends 20s focused on the beats logo. The camera then records the student with her back turned to the camera walking in a slow motion as she bobs her head to the music.


Scene 2: The camera focuses on the sun and spends 10s recording it and then switches to the 2nd student . It zooms in on his forehead to show he is sweating and then back on his hands that are uncontrollably shaking. The camera then switches to the policeman walking on the other side of the road  and does a closeup of his eyes squinting which is also mirrored by the student who also starts squinting creating tension. The camera then focuses on the policeman reaching for his taser and then starts walking in an accelerated motion until he reaches the other student. The camera then focuses on the hand motions of the student and policeman who repeatedly throw their hands in the air and point in each others faces.


Scene 3: The camera records a blurred figure in the distance which slowly comes to focus as she walks towards the camera. This is the first student in the classroom.. The camera ten focuses on her beats once again and records her waking towards the police officer. She then screams inaudibly at him as the camera focuses on her agitated facial expressions pointing her finger at his face. Thee police officer then leans towards the other student to threaten him "don't let me catch you here again." and then walks off. the camera focuses on his back and then moves in a swift motion to show his defeated facial expression as he walks off. The camera then uses a closeup of the students shaking hands and smiling at each other. The first student then hands the second students a pair of beats headphones. They then both jump on the car twirling and jumping as they bob their heads to the music. It then ends of with the camera facing the students back as they walk into the park and go out of focus on the camera. A text comes up at the end that says "in partnership with beats headphones" and switches to a black screen that says "say no to racial prejudice."
