TREATMENT
This video’s purpose is to challenge Pinto’s audience’s expectations.
We all want to be free.
Free to love. Free to express. Free to live.
So choose freedom, and may this video release you to live an unreasonable life.
OPENING SHOT
The angle from a car, hold it, titles
Long lens from the back seat, Pinto in the side-view mirror, the lights of Miami out of focus in the distance.
CUT TO
ARRIVAL AT CLUB
Long following shot, 50mm 1.4, the focus is on Pinto, the world is soft around as he walks forwards in slow motion. We follow him.
OPTION: Or we try leading him the entire way… watch his face… more interesting…
OPTION: Or we commit to a side/profile tracking shot. Whichever way, we aim to not cut for as long as possible.
PINTO IS SEATED
In a VIP booth, the club moves all around him, in slow motion, but Pinto is motionless. Perfectly still.
PUSH IN on Pinto’s face. He slowly lowers his glasses and we see his eyes, transfixed.
PINTO’S POV - A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
We slowly zoom in on a beautiful woman dancing with her friends on the opposite side of the club.
As we zoom in on her, there is a shift in her energy. She looks up suddenly.
MATCHING CLOSE-UPS
Of both PINTO and the WOMAN. There’s an undeniable energy. She moves towards him.
CUT TO
CLOSE-UPS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AS SHE MOVES TO PINTO
We explore her body as the lights of the club dance around her.
.
WOMAN’S POV - APPROACHING PINTO
The camera moves directly at Pinto, his eye-line is above the lens or just to the side. The framing is symmetrical. Pinto’s body posture is open to us, drawing us in.
HARD CUT
PINTO HAS THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN UP AGAINST A WALL
She has her back to the wall, her breath is short. Pinto is close, but he doesn’t touch her. Instead, he sings, passionately, towards her arched neck.
The angle from a car, hold it, titles
Her eyes up, mouth open, she searches for the breath that he is taking from her.
WE FOLLOW HER HAND CLOSELY
As it moves gently down the length of her body. As her hand reaches the bottom of her short, club dress,
we CUT OUT TO
EXTREME TIGHT SHOTS OF BACHATA DANCERS
The angle from a car, hold it, titles
They move sensually in a dark space, their figures illuminated by neon blues and reds.
.
BACK AT THE WALL
Pinto’s hands tremble as they hover over the woman’s body. He does not touch her, but the sensual energy emanating from his body is driving her crazy.
Pinto continues to sing.
THE BACHATA DANCERS SWEAT
The angle from a car, hold it, titles
A man’s tongue traces up a woman’s spine, taking in all of her.
Hands on skin
Lips on an ear
Hands in hair
Fast, blurred motion, fabric, hair, spin, spin, move, move-
PINTO STEPS INTO A NEON ALLEYWAY, CIGARILLO IN HAND
He lights the cigar, the end glows cherry red
As Pinto exhales the sweet smoke, he begins to laugh, and his teeth shine.
Intercut this laugh with Pinto performing in the same spot.
CAMERA ANGLE LOOK OUT THE BACK WINDOW OF A CAR
We drive away from the club, the lights of the city gradually lose focus.
