Music Video Treatment- Not Fair- Lily Allen

For our project, we aim to create a music video to the song, ‘Not Fair’ originally sung by Lily Allen, covered by The Streets of London. As the lyrics to the song are quite self-explanatory, we want to include a mixture of performance and concept, but use metaphors that match almost directly with the songs meaning, but with a more creative twist.

As the whole song revolves around her boyfriend being perfect apart from the fact that he can’t pleasure her in bed, we aim to include subtle metaphorical visuals that would somehow match what she is singing about, without being vulgar. For example, using certain fruits to symbolise parts of the human body such as bananas and grapefruits. However, we aim to use many other props as well such as balloons, milk, lollipops, etc- overall having fun with how we portray these visuals.

In regards to the performance aspects, we are going to focus mainly on the set design by using pinks and purples for lighting as we still want this to mainly revolve around the idea of love. All of this is aimed to be produced in the studio at college- this way more special effects/ visuals can be created. In terms of the band’s appearance, we also want this theme to stay so them wearing outfits that go with the set and lighting will bring this out more.
