SWING MUSIC VIDEO TREATMENT
TREATMENT BY CORY FREY
The Swing music video will be a performance based piece that focuses on aesthetic, colors and the swagger that comes with being a confident and talented golfer. We’ll see a mix of performances from Sam in both more traditional golf actions like driving, chipping, putting etc. as well as having a bit more fun like driving the golf cart quick, cracking a beer, dancing on the green and having a good laugh after a bad shot. Our shot style will feature a mix of telephoto shots that feel like something you’d see on TV, wide more immersive low angles and high angles, handheld fun authentic feeling shots (dancing on the green) and some onboard action from the golf cart. We won’t have a master performance but rather many different setups for performance so that we don’t have to return to any specific shot too many times and have it get stale. We’ll also focus on our color palette of white, green and pink to curate a look and cohesive feel. This video will aim to show the fun and enjoyment of being a talented golfer through your classic golf shots as well as new more youthful and experimental shots.

WARDROBE
We’ll stick to a white, green and pink color palette for wardrobe to make the whole video feel like a cohesive piece and have our titling match as well. The Compensating video by Amine is a good reference for this.
We’ll have 3 total outfits to keep the video feeling fresh throughout with each color being the main focus in each fit, we’ll include accent pieces with the other two colors mixed in.
Also aiming to have these be pretty simple design wise, all solid colors unless there’s something small that still fits the aesthetic.
