Treatment
Treatment.
The video starts off with a boy plugging in his ipod and cross cuts to the band setting up, and the guitarist plugging in his guitar. The music will start as the boy puts his earphones into his ears.
The boy then walks down the road listening to his ipod and we cut to the band performing.
We have a narrative in which we see a couple out together, who are being watched by the boy from the beginning. We start with a shot looking at the couple stood together under an umbrella. Then we see a shot of the boy (stalker) hiding behind the bush watching them. We then cut to the stalkers viewpoint looking at the cuople as they begin to walk off. Still from the stalkers perspective we watch the couple have an arguement and the girl walk off. We then watch the stalker follow the girl and the boy from the couple watch angrily. We then see the boy from the couple follow the other two characters and see all three of them walking down the road one behind the other. We see the stalker stop and fight with the boy from the couple, using different camara angles such as high angle shots, poing of view shots and close ups.
Throughout the video we will cross cut between this narrative and clips of the band performing in a recording studio. Using close ups of each member and their instrument and diffenrent shots of the whole band together.

Interview with a Fan
When and how did you first hear about parazali?
I saw a live show about 2 years ago and then went and searched them on myspace because I thought they were good.
What is your personal favourite song by them and why?
Where’s he hiding?
The lyrics are good, it’s catchy. I like the guitar solo in it
Have you ever been to one of their live shows? And how was it?
Yes…it was really good.
They sounded really good and had great stage presence
Where do you feel the band could be in 10 years from now? E.g. signed, critical or commercial success?
I think they could be signed and playing shows in bigger venues.
What do you think the band could improve on?
I personally think the band should include less show off solos and be a bit more creative with there music.
What makes Parazali special from any other bands?
They are special because they have very powerful songs even though there are only three band members which make them quite special.
