All of the location shots taken in the powerpoint above were all used in our final production, as they all helped to bring the music video construction to convey what we really wanted. Each location acted as a base and new formation to the music video, and helped to bring together the different parts of the story.

Video Treatment.

Our video is all based around the aspects of the actual title of the track 'System' and what it actually means to us. The main bases of our video is a young boy being the main character and being trapped in a system that is dictating his life, which he is unaware of, and not just controlling but simply everyone as well, a system that is based on controlling young children into something that is one day going to be too late for them to escape from. However one young boy is aware of this system that they are being entrapped in and is determined to change this, by creating plans and methods to break this system without the leaders of this disturbing system finding out. With deep corruption and confusion on how this system even came about, young Joe works along side other children that are catching on to the disturbing plans of this system, and work in collaboration with one another to tackle this problem, with it turing into a chaotic chase to see who wins - whether these people end up still having hold of this system or whether these young children break out of this system and by uniting together destroy this unknown system for good...

Our video opens up the system that we live at being looked at in a new way, and whether people are aware that they are being controlled in many ways. The song is open for so many different interpretations which is why we intend on involving so many different aspects that could be understood in the video and to the target audience being so big, we create all of these things going on in the video to create a vibrant and up to date video that will appeal to many.
