Treatment.

A black screen starts off. It has the words "One day until Madison Square Garden." At the same time there will be a voice over saying "You haven't made it until you have played New York and sold out the Garden."

Present day.
New York City.
Backstage of MSG.
Midday.

Slowly, the black screen fades out and becomes a video of the American flag blowing in the wind with a person putting a heart shape made by their hands around the flag. A shot from the middle of the road looking at cars going past in both directions. The sound of  horns honking and the birds chirping. It is very peaceful atmosphere. This contrasts with the next shot of chaos and mayhem. Lots of young girls and fans at Madison Square Garden. Lots of screaming and talking and very crowded as people are pushing to get in to the concert.

An interview from a young girl who is a big fan. She stands there swinging side to side with a big grin on her face. She tells the camera how much she loves Katy Perry.

Then it will flash to the singer getting ready. She will be sitting in the chair getting her makeup and hair done. She will be facing the mirror, and will look into the camera from the mirror and smile and wave, she laugh and smiles as the camera goes away. Her makeup and hair artist will also turn and give a little wave to the camera. Katy is sitting with her legs crossed on the chair. She has a dressing gown on and her hair/makeup is half done. The camera (shot like a handheld family movie) backs away out of the door and the door closes as the last shot of this scene. *blackout*

Flash to a female fan. talking about how much he LOVES Katy Perry. stands with his girlfriend and says "Im almost as in love with her music as I am with my boyfriend hehe!" Her boyfriend stands there looking at the camera with a very blank expression on his face and a slight smile. She will start to look at little confused as she keeps going on about Katy. The volume of the girl talking gets quieter as the camera fades put onto the next scene.

The next flash back to the singer; Shes looking through a rack of clothing in a dressing room and holding the ones she likes best up to the stylist. The camera will be on the opposite side of the clothes rack and be a close up of Katys head peaking through the clothes. She holds one outfit which the stylist shakes her head and then another which she shakes her head again. Katy finally holds up one last thing up to the stylist, and she nods. We will not see what it is until later on.

The third flash to the fans; a group of about 3-5girls, about our age slightly younger, standing with signs saying "WE LOVE KATY" and different signs like that, all saying how much they love her and they idolize her and how beautiful she is. They start singing one of her songs and dance around.

The third flash to the singer is going to be when all the crew and family of Katy are standing in a circle as a pre-concert talk/encouragement/support thing. They are excited and preped for the concert and jumping up and down, looking at eachother in excitement. The background sound will be the cheers and the cries of excited fans waiting for the concert to begin. You will be able to hear them all yelling and screaming. You will not be able to hear particular people as singles because it will sound like a concert crowd .. because it is a concert. *slow motion*

In the last flash of interviewing the fans, it will be the singers parents. They will talk about her love for singing and her love for her music. As they talk they are just going to be casually sitting outside on the deck on the deck chairs. Her mum finishes of the interview with "we are just so proud of our daughter." She has a sparkle in her eye and she turns and looks at her husband and then it fades out to the last Katy flash.


The last Katy flash; A guy walks into the room. He wears a headphone thing and black clothes. He leans in the door and tells everyone that Katy has to leave now to go perform. As she walks to the door, she turns around and gives the camera a wave goodbye, then closes the door behind her.

The very last scene will be with different fan videos all poping up on the screen. There will be lots of them coming up and getting faster and fast and faster and smaller and more of them will be poping up. The tension will build up and a sound effect will come on. The buzzing sound that will slowly get louder. And then BAM you see the crowd in MSG and they are going mad for

Concept Idea!

My idea is about music. About Madison Square Garden. I am using Justin Biebers movie opening, :), as my inspiration. At the beginning it flicks from Youtube videos of Justin Bieber singing and then too when he is getting ready for his concert. Because its a documentry movie, it has interviews from his fans and from his grandparents and from his mom. Im also making the movie Starstruck as my inspiration. It is not a documentry, its fiction. Its about a popstar and he shows concert footage too. Its not quite the same idea as Justin Biebers one, but it has footage of fans coming up to him wanting his autograph etc.

My opening is going to have a voice over saying "you havent made it until you have sold out Madison Square Garden" on a black screen saying "1 day until MSG" The idea of this is to show the build up to the concert at Madison Square Garden. Im going to show 2 or 3 people, or maybe just one main person as celebrities getting ready for the sold out concert. Its going to flash to the different people. Its a documentry. Im going to show different crowds of people from youtube videos. They will be screaming fans for all the celebs. Im possibly going to show real life footage of Madison Square Garden. All my other footage will be all my own. I plan to get in my best friend Catherine, and two other people who i am not sure of. Im going to use music in the background. I am going to have interviews with "fans."

I am aiming to draw a teen audience. I am also aiming for a early 20s audience too. I want to make this a happy movie and make it as if it was a big celebrity that people would be desperate to watch and enjoy watching a movie about.
