Raiche
"THEshortFILM"
By TODD UNO & STERLO McCGEE
-SIMPLE-
We begin Riche’s "Simple", by paying homage to AliciaKeys "you dat know my name" in an contemporary modern Coffeehouse with Raiche as a cashier/pastry chef who is smitten by a young man who enter's the shop who she and the other waitress's ha never seen before. A he orders and Tke hi eat as he waits, we cut back into a clue up of her face as we push into her eyes nota romantic wimsicle world or “what-if’s”, which include a choreographed dance routine and a playfully flirtatious walk through the Botanical Gardens, between the. As she snaps back into reality, the other barista call's name, for his order. A we grab his coffee,she look him into his eye, he look back, and we cut to black. The end. We leave the our viewers on a cliffhanger…, Does she speak or does she let the opportunity pass, once again.
-HOMEMADE-
For Raiche’s “Homemade”, we highlight that Raiche is going to be Raiche and she’s completely comfortable in her own space in the process of her come up. We Take a concept from Showtimes's ("Kidding", Shaina's inside stuff). As the song begins we see Raiche on couch in a less then great "apartment/loft". as the camera circles the apartment we see a guy leaving out with his bags arguing as she sit there in here t-shirt performing song. Every time the camra spins we ee and upgrade to the apartment, and her self. The entire video will be a 1 shot until he bridge. We reveal the ultimate come up, we reveal Raiche in a large, in long mansion driveway in a yellow dress with an extremely long train that covers the payment.Walking and performing. We then place a “resting-bitch-faced” Raiche in various parts of a beautiful home (i.e. lemon bath, poolside, beautiful and spacious foyer, spacious living room) where she shows no signs of being impressed by ANY of the expensive, materialistic things.
-PICK A SIDE-
Raiche’s “Pick A Side” is an homage to “Waiting to Exhale” as we see a tired-of-being-tired side of Raiche. After uncovering the infidelity in her relationship, Raiche sets her boyfriends belongings on fire.
Scene 1:
Vanity Mirror (Performance Scene)
Scene2:
DEEP WALK IN CLOSET-Raiche performs as she rips all of her boyfriends clothes off hangers.
Scene3:
Fed up with the lies and games, Rache throws all of her boyfriends belongings in the car and sets it ablaze with a smile on her face!
-Funeral-
Raiche’s “Funeral” video will be a colorful misnomer of sorts because it will, in fact, be a celebration! A New Orleans typed second line funeral with an Alvin Ailey wade in the water type feel with the umbrellas & Canes. Raiche will begin the visual with choreographed male dancers as she breaks off to leads a New Orleans-style funeral down there road; followed by female dancers wearing bright color funeral attires, with fans & big hats. As Raiche leads the march we reveal a bight colored coffin begins to fill with pictures, instruments and more. we will push into each picture as a remnant of the past bullshit thats dead to her i.e., Guys, problem withal getting into music etc.
