TREATMENT

A young girls journey to gain self-confidence and not care what other people's opinions of her may be. Going to bed early on a weekend evening is not the most exciting lifestyle, but little does she know when she wakes up in the morning thing's will appear much better. She falls asleep in her bed which apparently is in the centre of a field/forest to represent the freedom that she is going to feel in the morning and while the night turns into the day all the embarrassing moments that have made her self-conscious are shown. She wakes up and gets out of bed, the sun is shining through the windows and for once she has a smile on her face. When she wakes up there is a new spring in her step and she's feeling good. As she walks down the street she reflects on days when she was just a butterfly, trapped in a cocoon, when she would trip over in the street and feel ashamed, when she would drop glasses on the floor making them smash and when she would struggle to get through crowds in the street. The whole video follows the girl have a new and improved personality, where she doesn't care about anything going on around her. She doesn't care if people are talking behind her backs and gossiping, because in this moment, she is happy. Her confidence even grows as far as her pushing the limits of what is acceptable in society, for example at one point she drops her magazine on the floor as she's walking away. As she does this the camera turns to show the people around her shocked at this new girl, and talking about the thing's she has just done. The girl also reflects on the time when she was truly care free and didn't worry; when she was a child. Shows children at the age of 5 playing in the garden. They are using a sand pit and water table toy and burying thing's, which symbolises them burying their worries beneath the sand. This reflects to the lyrics as they say about burying items beneath the sea. To represent the happiness and care free feel to the video, some of the sections, particularly the walking parts and the bedroom sections will be done in the style of a musical. People will be dancing in the street and just generally not worrying about any of the stresses of everyday life like they might usually do. Towards the end of the video the girl will be shown to overcome the same situations that she would usually have curled up under a rock over. If she falls over in the street now, then she will be getting straight back up, shaking it off and carrying on. Throughout the video the theme will be the one girl (main singer) showing you round her life and the different locations and situations that she deals with.
