Video Treatment


Title: Rock N’Roll Is Back

Tagline: Rock’s Not Dead

            First you will see the band enter an old movie theatre with ROCK N’ ROLL IS

BACK on the kiosk over head. Then we will cut to a shot of them sitting down in a

row with food and drinks. Then the movie starts. The movie is going to be in

 black and white and look like old monster movies.

It starts off with a far away exterior shot of a castle and slowly fades into a dark

hallway. We look from the cameras point of view and continue down the

hall way through a door at the end and turn the corner. Slowly you see the camera

pan across lab equipment, jars of body parts, etc. to see two scientist, which are

played by two band members, working over a table with a body under a sheet.

            The exam table and scientists will be centered and show them working on

the body. An “Igor” type of character, a third band member, walks up with a bag and

starts pulling out body parts. He delivers a heart, an arm, and offers the scientists a

brain which they refuse. He quickly turns back around with a guitar and the

scientists accept that.  The Igor character walks off screen while the scientists start

to add the parts to the monster on the table, the 4th and final band member.

            Igor returns with a bowl of eyeballs and allows the scientists to pick a couple

out that he wishes to use. When the scientist starts to put those in the body, the

camera pans back a little and Igor and the second scientist are standing off to the

back right and the scientist in front operating becomes blurred. Focus is now on the

two in back, Igor starts just watching and eating the eyeballs out of the bowl like

popcorn as he watches the scientist. He offers them to the other scientist who

refuses and appears very disgusted and Igor shrugs it off and keeps eating as if he’s

thinking, more for me. Cut to the band in the theatre and they kind of stop eating

their popcorn out of disgust They sew up the monster and now its time to move him

to the reanimation chamber. The three, hilariously move this big monsters body

down stairs and place him in the animation chamber.

           
The scientists are now turning on the machine and lights start flashing and

smoke starts billowing out. One of the scientists starts mouthing “IT’S ALIVE!!”

inserted into the frame will be a title card that says it instead like an old silent film,

there will be others placed through out the video as well. We cut back to the

machine being opened and as the big guitar solo comes in the Monster emerges

from the chamber with guitar in hand wailing the solo. We pan back to see the rest

of the band playing with him. The chamber will be in the center with the lights and

smoke and the monster in front of it. The rest of the video will be various shots of

the band rocking out to rest of the song like it’s a live show, with props from the lab

and their coats and glasses draped over amps. End the video with the credits and

pull back to see the band sitting in a theatre making remarks about the film and

leaving film.
