Treatment
Artist: Parazali
Song: Cell mate
Genre: Rock

Outline of narrative: There will be clips of the band playing and lip-syncing to the song in unplanned places throughout the video as well as three different story lines. The video begins with an establishing shot that shows us we are in a park area. A boy dressed in casual clothes with dark straight hair walks towards the camera in a long shot. He is looking at the ground as he walks, and as he glances up and to the side we see that his expression looks sad. He goes to sit on a bench and pulls a pen and paper from his bag which he then places on the floor. We can’t see what he is drawing on the paper due to the angle of the camera and as if cuts to the pad we see that he has made a tally chart. We assume it has something to do with the time he has been there but are unsure. There is a montage of him sitting on the bench in different places with cuts of the tally chart getting bigger in between. We are back at the bench and the boy is walking towards it again; we assume it is a different day because he is wearing different clothes. He repeats what he had done yesterday by taking out a pen and a pad of paper and drawing on it. The footage is sped up slightly of him drawing and watching people go by. As the camera focuses on the pad it has a tally chart with the words ‘Cell mate’ written in between the markings in a style that matches the straight lines.

The video then switches to an image of a sad looking girl sat on a double bed. She looks like just an ordinary girl, and she is wearing casual clothes e.g. Jeans and a t-shirt. We will then see an image of a key turning in a lock using shallow focus so that when the boy walks away, we cannot see what he looks like. There is a montage of the girl sat in different positions around her room, as well as images of a clock to show the passing of time. After some time has passed the boy comes back to the room and unlocks the door, we see the door open from inside the room, and the boy entering. The boy is also dressed casually. He walks over to the girl with an apologetic look on his face and he hugs her softly. She hugs him back but a cut to her face shows us that she has not forgiven him for locking her in there. The couple leave the room holding hands and head downstairs to the lounge. The boy laughs as he watches a comedy show on the television, but the girl still looks sad.We are back in the bedroom and the girl is hurriedly packing a bag full of clothes. The boy walks into the room in a manner that suggests he had no idea of what she was doing. He freezes and looks at her shocked while she stands perfectly still staring back at him. We see them start to argue and him lashing out, but we don’t see what is actually happening. We then see the girl sat in the bedroom on her own again. She has a black eye and looks broken down. We leave this story line here so that it ends as though it has come full circle. This is used to symbolise that she’s never getting out and that she is stuck in the same four walls relating to the lyrics.

The camera then switches to another story line of a male who is sat at a table by himself. He is dressed casually and has some food on the table. He is looking down and looks uncomfortable. People are walking around the table and sitting near it, but none of them acknowledge him or make an effort to talk to him. As he looks around him he looks more uncomfortable still, we get the feel that he really doesn’t belong with the people around him. The camera shows him at low angels, this makes him seem inferior in some way. Two boys walk into the room and the camera focuses on them to show they are important in somehow. It flicks back to the boy who smiles and beacons to them, as they appear to walk towards the camera, we get the feeling they are going to sit with him. The two boys sit at a different table without acknowledging him and then the camera goes back to show him looking sad and disappointed. He looks around the room, unsure what to do. The camera zooms out to show him sat doing nothing on his own whilst everyone around him talks and laughs, this shows the contrast between him and everyone else which symbolises the lyrics of no one will hear your cries.

Tally chart on the prison cell wall
Shows that the person is trapped and desperate

How long have you been there now?
Seems like a year you said, though it’s only been two days.
Dramatic lyric, could have been through something very traumatic

There’s no getting out’a here
Reinforcing the idea of being trapped

No-one will hear your cries
‘Cries’ shows that the person is obviously upset

No-one will see you die but me
‘Die’ seems very hopeless. We see there isn’t much hope for the person.

Same boring lies, same walls everyday
Illustrates the boredom of the person

You can’t sleep, you just toss and turn
Shows the stress that the person is under

Serves you right anyway
Get the feeling that maybe the person has done something to deserve this. The rest of the lyrics are just repeated, this emphasizes the idea that the person is trapped and can’t escape. It gives a real feeling of hopelessness.

There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me
SOLO Build up
(No-one will see you die but me)
There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me
There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me
