The document outlines a proposed music video treatment for the song "How to Be a Heartbreaker" by Marina and the Diamonds. It would include various storylines of the artist with a love interest, intercut with performance footage. Key elements include using stop motion for lyrics about "rules", a party scene to match the tempo, and jumping between intimate moments and the stage performance to follow the story of falling in love but not wanting to get hurt. The overall treatment focuses on visually bringing the lyrics and themes of love, danger, and heartbreak to life.

1. Lyric Deconstruction
„How To Be A Heartbreaker‟- Marina And The Diamonds

2. “Rule number 1”- Fridge magnets would create a stop
motion animation to make this line.
“Is that you gotta have fun, but when you‟re done you
gotta be the first to run” – We would have our artist in a
storyline, spraying her love interest with silly string then
running away.
“Rule number 2” –This again would be the stop motion of
the fridge magnets.
“Just don‟t get attached to somebody you could lose. So
le-le-let me tell you”- These words would be lip synced in a
stage performance, focusing on the artist and her
microphone. We would do this because in our research we
found that nearly all songs have an element of
performance.

3. “This is how to be a heart breaker. Boys they like a little
danger. We‟ll get him falling for a stranger. A player, singing
I lo-lo-love you. How to be a heartbreaker. Boys they like the
look of danger. We‟ll get him falling for a stranger. A
player, singing I lo-lo-love you.”- As this is the chorus we will
have a mixture of jump shots from the artists storyline with
her love interest, to a white backdrop where a group of
people are throwing paint around and having fun. We want
to keep up with the lyrics as it is mainly about love, but we
also want to do the party scene as it keeps up with the
tempo of the song.

4. “At least I think I do”- Stop motion repeated with the words.
Instrumental- Cut to a storyline of the girl and boy, show
things such as them laughing and holding hands.
“Cause I lo-lo-love you”- Artist sings this to the boy.
“Rule number three”- Stop motion letters repeated as „Rule
1 and 2‟
“Wear your heart on your cheek”- We plan to take a series
of photos with our artist with a heart on his cheek, we may
change this later

5. “But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat” –
This would be a stage performance of our artist lip syncing.
“Rule number four”- This like the last for „rules‟ would be a
stop motion with a fridge magnets.
“Gotta be looking pure, kiss him goodbye at the door, and
leave him wanting more, more..” This would be jump shots
of the artist and her boyfriend at the door, she kisses him
briefly and shuts the door leaving him confused, whereas
she will have a smug look on her face. Hopefully both our
artists would show emotion through a split screen.

6. “This is how to be a heart breaker. Boys they like a little
danger. We‟ll get him falling for a stranger. A player, singing
I lo-lo-love you. How to be a heartbreaker. Boys they like the
look of danger. We‟ll get him falling for a stranger. A
player, singing I lo-lo-love you.”- As this is the chorus we will
have a mixture of jump shots from the artists on stage
singing, to a white backdrop where a group of people are
throwing paint around and having fun. We want to keep up
with the lyrics as it is mainly about love, but we also want to
do the party scene as it keeps up with the tempo of the
song.
“At least I think I do” – This again would be the stop motion
repeated.
“Instrumental” – This again would be the party scene.

7. “Cause I lo-lo-love you” – This again would be the storyline
again between the boy and girl at the door, she would
open the door and sing these lyrics to the boy.
“Girls, we do, whatever it will take. Cause girls don‟t
want, we don‟t want our hearts to break in two. So its better
to be fake, cant risk losing. In love again, ba-bae” – Jump
scenes from the stage performance to the storyline. This
storyline will be more romantic as the lyrics are more about
her feelings.
“This is how to be a heart breaker. Boys they like a little
danger. We‟ll get him falling for a stranger. A player, singing
I lo-lo-love you. How to be a heartbreaker. Boys they like the
look of danger. We‟ll get him falling for a stranger. A
player, singing I lo-lo-love you.”- This would be a stage
performance and a mixture of the party scene.

8. “Cause I lo-lo-love you” – This again would be the storyline
again between the boy and girl and she would sing this to
the boy.
“At least I think I do” – Our artist would turn to the camera
then sing these lyrics.
