Location Shots

In planning the creation of the music video, my group and I had to create a list of possible locations that we could use to film. On deciding the locations, we had to consider the following factors;

• how would we be able to use lighting and electricity at said location?


• is said location legal to use and safe enough?


• does said location fit the style and genre that we are aiming to achieve?


• would all members of the group be happy to use said location?
  
• would our music video benefit from being filmed at said location?

What locations has the group looked at?

• Woolwich foot tunnel

This would suit the type of song that we are using to make a music video fitting, as it is a bit edgy; it looks very typical of an underground tunnel- messy and dirty, and it would add very nicely to the type of style and effect we are hoping to achieve. However, the location is not ideal as it is used between a large n umber of hours for business so it would not be accessible to us very easily or probably not at the times we would hope to use it.

• Barn, Hextable

This location is quite ideal as it fits exactly what the group is looking for in a location. It is messy, dirty and 'rough-looking'. It has a certain edge to it, which suits the unusual genre and style of the song. I particularly like the brickwork walls, and think this would look really effective in the video, as brickwork can look very good with a large number of different effects on it. There is something in the fact that the building has brickwork walls on the inside; in terms of being 'edgy' this is a classic feature for this style of music video, and I think that it's inclusion in my own music video is almost a necessity. The lack of proper flooring is also a plus, as this adds to the effect that we want, it adds to the creation of the style that we hope to achieve.

• Woods, New Ash Green

We plan to film a large part of our video in some woods, so this location would need to be entirely ideal. The woods would need to have the correct amount of light (as some are darker than others, depending on factors such as how deep they are etc.), be easily accessible, safe, and fitting the style that the group are aiming to achieve. I have chosen to include some photographs of woods that I found simply by searching for 'woods' on google images. I searched through the selection of pictures that this gave me, and chose the ones that I felt stood out the most, were controversial or particularly dramatic.
