'A new dawn' by Cinthia Rose
From the album 'Woman'
Music Video Treatment
Producer: Mia Rose
The music video is protest themed, specifying on the area of feminism. The video will show a class of students watching a video depicting iconic feminist figures in history during a lesson, to a cover of the song 'Feeling good' originally by civil rights activist and feminist Nina Simone. The song comes from Cinthia's latest album 'Woman' which is themed around finding femininity and self love as a woman in modern society.
Relating to the lyrics of the song, there are many metaphors which tend not to be explicit, leaving them open to interpretation. This way, the images we show in the video can be altered to illustrate our own interpretation of the words. For example, the lyrics 'Birds flying high' could illustrate Amelia Earhart's plane taking off as she sets of to become the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean.
Breaking down each scene, the opening will depict a classroom teacher writing and underlining 'Feminism' on the whiteboard. She then presses play on the video, which will show Amelia Earhart taking off in her plane. Next, we see Emily Davidson at the Derby, about to sacrifice her life for the suffragettes. The shot cuts to our artist, Cinthia Rose, at a #MeToo protest in 2017. Finally, the video finishes with Nina Simone, the original artist, performing her song. We cut back to the classroom as the video ends.
The video is intended to be informative as well as empowering. Aiming at young females, its important to build up their strength and confidence by inspiring them through these images, showing them that females can do anything a man can do.
The video is a great way to inform the public about the history of feminism, not only this, but show how much still needs to change as in some areas of the world women are still not seen as equal, this is shown through the laws in some countries such as not giving women the right to abortion, the gender wage gap and casual sexism that has been normalised in society.
