Music Video Treatment

 washed out colours, tons of close ups on movement to highlight the tiny detail changes between the cycles

BLACK SCREEN WITH NUMBERS FOR HELP HOTLINES BEGINNING/END

scene 1: 

woman waking up in her bed, husband sleeps facing away, gets out of bed gently to not wake him, puts bathrobe on, goes to make a sandwich, takes plate into living room to watch news (aim to match lyrics TV to shot of TV), turns news on, sleeve moves slightly to show bruise/red marks while changing channel, different shots of her in the same place? to keep movement while showing she's static, passage of time

scene 2:

Cut to her getting up again at the chorus, husband still sleeping facing away, going to get breakfast, breakfast is a pot of yogurt, taking spoon out of drawer, opening the family laptop to turn the news on with headphones on

scene 3: 

Getting up again on 3rd chorus, this time waking the husband up, close up of him grabbing her night dress violently, cuts to eating sandwich in the living room, red eyes, red marks on neck from hand, shaking a little and watching the news.
