Planning

Disscusion of Location Ideas

Today we had a meeting to start the planning of our music video. We disscused a range of locations that we think would best fit our song, and that we would like to try.

Here are our ideas:

Train Stations, maybe London Underground-we like the idea of having a busy surrounding, everyone rushing as they no where they need to go, and then having our character walking slowly towards the camera. Maybe have them walking very slowly, so we can speed up the shot and have everyone else in fast forward and our character walking at an apparent steady pace?

London Streets-we could also use the streets of London. We like the idea of the many different surroundings you can get in London, which would create different looks. We are also interested in filming at night, as even though it is night, it is still very bright with all the lights used in London, and this would look very effective in our video. Our group member Becky also came up with the idea of filming reflections in shop windows, which i think is a good idea, as nobody as done this before so it would make our video original.

Forest-this would create a playful scenery and could show the good times of a relationship. it would be best if we filmed on a bright sunny day to reflect the happy atmosphere, although if we cannot and it is grey and cold on our day of filming then we could show an argument between the couple and then the break up, reflected by the gloomy atmosphere.

Beach- we could use the same thing on a beach; a happy time if it is sunny, or an argument if it is cloudy. We could have the girl walking off and then a close up of her footprints in the sand.

If the locations we have chosen do not work out we could also try a restaurant or a graveyard.
