Music Video Treatment

Adrian is playing the artist Ne-Yo, and Danielle is playing the part of his girlfriend. Danielle is cheating on Adrian, and he knows but he acts like he doesn't.
It starts off with bedroom when Adrian is trying to sleep. His girlfriend however creeps in. She's on the phone to the man she is cheating with. She then get's off the phone and gets back into bed, unaware that Adrian is still awake. The song then starts. It is then morning and Danielle gets up while Adrian is laying there singing.
Danielles phone then rings and she takes the call outside the bedroom. He is then singing infront of the wall.
At the third verse, their then are flashbacks to when they were happy and things were good. We are going to show it's flashbacks by tilting the camera and making it black and white. This will give it the effect that it's in the past. Also flashbacks when they argue and she storms out. Ne-Yo does a lot of singing infront a of wall, so this is what we are going to make Adrian do.
One of the scenes flashbacks are going to be them holding hands walking a long a river. It then turns to present them walking distance from each other while she texts.
When Danielle is with her man she is cheating with, Adrian will be trying to call her. There will be a close up of her rejecting it. Adrian is then angry and smashes a picture of them.
While Danielle is going around the house getting ready, he follows her singing, but she goes to the bathroom and slams the door. Their both on either side upset. They can both kneel down and have their heads in their arm. Identically the same, but either side of the door.
They can also be sleeping and when Danielle wakes up she realises Adrian was trying to put his arm around her. When she realises it, she pushes it off her and gets up.
He also tries doing things for her, for example making her dinner, but Danielle makes an excuse and leaves. He then throws the dinner in the bin.
It ends with Adrian singing against the wall.

Research into other R&B music videos.

I have concluded that this R&B music video included a lot of girls, flashy cars, money, jewerlly and flashy clothes.

Neyo - Lie to me Lyrics

Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie

I just wanna be NUMB
I don't wanna feel a thing
I don't want reality
Actually, reality stinks

How about we just pretend
That your cellphone didn't even ring
And that I wasn't on the other side of the door
Listening to everything, tell me another lie

I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie

Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie to me, lie to me, lie

Please make me believe (make me believe)
That there's nobody for you BUT me (for you BUT me)
When I ask who were you talking to
Tell me it was KIMBERLY

Tell me THAT last night you didn't leave
After you thought I was asleep
Krept back in that 6:45
Tell me it was just a dream

Baby I need (I need), desperately (desperately), desperately (desperately)
To believe you
'Cause I won't be held (won't be held), responsible (responsible)
For what what (what what), what I might do

Baby I need (I need), desperately (desperately), desperately (desperately)
To believe you
'Cause I won't be held (won't be held), responsible (responsible)
For what what, what I might to do me another lie

I don't wanna know what I know to be true (don't wanna know, don't wanna know)
What I need you to do, tell me another lie (another lie, yeah)
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie (oh)
I don't wanna know what I know to be true (don't wanna know, no no)
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true (hey, hey)
What I need you to do, tell me another lie

Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
Tell me another lie
