Possible Locations

This shot represents a park area which is in around Autumn when it is cold. The reason we took this picture is because this will be the weather we will be filming in and we would like to exaggerate the colours of the leaves as they will be part of our colour scheme. Also the emptiness of the area adds to the effect and mood of 'loneliness'. Additionally, it suits the genre and mood of the song as its not a fast paced rhythm, it's a slow based one with a lot of feeling in the lyrics. So by choosing areas like this as such, it will give us a great opportunity to do panning shots, off-cuts and many more. The shot we are looking to film here is a line or two of the third verse and he the actor would be basically walking sidewards on to the camera (which will walk along side him) and the actor will lip sync whilst looking forward and maybe glimpsing at the camera for effect.

Worcester Park: We are going to film in Worcester park high street as we know this high street is pretty busy, and it also contains many every day stores and shops. This location is essential for our music video as our video is stereotypical everyday lfie for this man who our song is about. We thought that specifically we could use this certain part of Worcester park as there is a grocery store right beside where we filmed, and this was very relevant and related to our song, as it is fast paced fiesty kind of store. We thought that if we could get our song to relate to true life as much as possible this may help more of our viewers to try and fit themselves into the song.

Hamptons: Hamptons will be used in our video as part of the chorus where I will be lip syncing as the scenery around there is very nice, and will provide the viewer enjoyment and aesthetic appreciation of the outdoors when watching our video. It is seen as quite a posh and well looked after place, and as my character is in a bad way, I will be at the top of the hill, looking down upon the going's on around me as if everyone is in a better position than me. Being on top of the hill will create a real contrast with the lyrics as they will be saying "Lost it all to this life" and by being up high it suggests the main character is in a high authority position, when infact he is at a sort of all time low.

Home: Another location that we will have is in my home as the start of the song talks about the main character waking up in the story behind the lyrics. The footage filmed in my house will not be long, however it is necessary for out video to begin with. The initial waking up of the main character is key to the storyline as the lyrics and the mood of the song suggests that the days happenings for this character are pretty routine and he seems stuck in the cycle and cannot get out. The props in this sequence will need to be specifically placed in order for the audience to get the initial storyline.

The second location is of London. We believe that using this popular location will be very beneficial as it has a lot to offer. For example, London has plenty of lovely sceneries which would make get frames and shots. In the photograph it shows the houses of parliament which is a popular destination, and by including it in our music video, it gives an opportunity for people to relate themselves to the location. This location could be used for multiple purposes but it could be specifically used for filler shots and establishing shots. At night time London offers a beautiful and attractive appearance which will make our music video look even more appealing

This is another location that could be specifically used when lip syncing. Our idea around using this as a location is by filming the busy background and then using that onto a green screen and then gets someone to lip sync over it. This effective will look as if the singer is there at the time whilst everyone is walking around. The background footage will be sped up, therefore making the singer stand out and put to the centre of attention.
