Developing Video Treatment

Opens with a man walking through a forest. Starting with heels walking through leaf litter then panning up legs and back to head where the camera comes around to his face as he walks and starts to sing. Wide shot from behind showing surrounding forestry and clearing ahead. Couple of seconds after comes to clearing. Three attractive girls dressed in flowing white (sirens) are on rocks (back-up singers as well). They are sitting on the rocks looking seductive. When they see him they approach him, come up to him, stroke his chest etc. they remove his guitar, jacket and watch. The sirens entice him into the water and he obeys. They walk in getting deeper and deeper until the water is mid-chest level. They gently push him back and his head goes under. Couple of seconds when he is suspended in the water then flash backs over broken relationships begin. This could involve arguments, punching/hitting partners, partner sobbing into pillow, him staggering home after drinking, bar fights, empty savings – everything to show he’s a real tosser.  This should take up approximately a minute and a half. A separate performance is also weaved throughout the video, this could simply be him sitting on an empty stage playing. Towards the end of the song when he has been submerged long enough that he would be about to die he fights to the surface ‘reborn’. At this point he could either be a reformed man who leaves the river without sin as though baptized. Alternatively he could come up having not been reformed, but not looking especially evil either, as you could argue that people never really reform.
