Opening Scene - Unfinished Draft
Scene starts with extreme close up from the side showing a man sitting on a bench and visibly distressed and looking quite rough. As the track starts with the drum solo many cuts are made between the lead actor and the drummer playing his solo. Scene then switches to the band playing track - before lead singer is about to do his vocals a shot of him is shown approaching the mic with a close-up of his face and as the he starts singing the track switches to the narrative with lead actor shown to be walking around with no destination which links to the lyrics of "been mistreated baby - Ive been through town".

Music video treatment - Unfinished Draft
Artist: Radio Moskow
Song Title: Broke Down
Record Label: Alive Natural Sound
Man is shown to be distressed at the start of video and as the music starts and as the tempo ascends the man starts to spin out of control which is conotated by fast pace of the cuts and blurring of shots to convey the distress he is feeling. He is shown to strolling through town without any destination conotating that his life has no course and that he has lost control. Close-up of main actors face with him holding a pill and the camera switches to an extreme close up of the pill conotating that the pill is bigger than him and has more control on his life than he has. There will be many colour clashes to conotate spinning out of control. There will be references to grey to indicate the dullness of his life and effects of his addiction and sense of being broken down. Motif of red to refer to his anger generated by being left by his girlfriend as of his addiction. Motif of black to conotate his dark-side - submitting to the drugs.
Flashbacks of his life spinning out of control as of his addiction - Arguments with friends, arguments with his girlfriend.
Sense of drugs playing tricks on his life. - Show magician playing card tricks.
