The document outlines a music video pitch and treatment for the song "She's All Angles" by The Sleepless. It proposes using stop-motion animation with dolls and cardboard cutouts, along with some live action footage, to tell a narrative of a girl dreaming about her crush through the dolls coming to life. The video aims to have a bright, colorful, fast-paced style with close-ups and lighting effects to match the indie genre and appeal to teenagers. Roles for the production are assigned to Abigail, Zoe and Lauren for acting, filming, editing, lighting and developing the idea.

1. Pitch and treatment
By Zoe, Lauren and Abby

2. What does our music video
contain?
•There is a relationship between visuals that is illustrating as well
as contradicting the lyrics (Goodwin)
•We’ve ignored common narrative and gone for something
completely different – i.e using dolls instead of people to twist
the narrative a bit
•Target Audience- Mainly aimed at teenagers due to the popular
Indie genre which is seen most favoured by them. This could be
seen as ironic as the video contains the use of Barbies, giving it a
childish, carefree feel, like in Matt the Electrician – All I know.

•Our song is called ‘She’s All Angles’ by The Sleepless.

3. •Decided to use stop-motion and live action (possibly) – makes
the video come to life, effective, different.
•Abstract/narrative
•Indie genre
•Narrative- Perhaps have a girl playing with the
barbies, dreaming about her ‘dream man’ and the barbies come
to life and creates a narrative which matches the lyrics. The
barbie is going through her daily routine, see’s the man she has a
‘crush’ on – all using stop motion, hand-made backgrounds and
cut-outs that will move along with the doll as her day progresses.

4. Conventions we’re going to use are:
•Bright and happy tone, matching the tone of ‘She’s All
Angles’.
•Extreme close ups and long shots
•Fast paced
•Colourful costumes (for the dolls), if we decide to use
live action, their costumes will be colourful too.
•Lighting – artificial use of key and back lighting in close
up shots to provide a ‘halo’ like effect on the
performer/actor
•Influences -

influenced us because of the use of barbies and stop
motion.

5. •An upbeat, catchy indie song, with a catchy and
fun chorus"
•Our idea - very out of the box, fun and
lighthearted.
•Appealing to indie lovers, teens and a younger
audience, barbies are symbolic of femininity and
girliness, also childish. Hopefully amusing and
Ironic.
• A mix of stopmotion and live action.
•She's all angles will be shown on the screen
•Cardboard cut outs will be used
•We’ve decided to have live action, and our idea has
not completely changed, but changed quite a bit.
