2. WELL-EQUIPPED SETTING
For the location of the boxing workout scene to be as realistic as possible, we
will be looking for a location that offers a variety of gym apparatus that will be
available for us to use. By being able to use a wide range of apparatus, we will
be able to film a much wider range of camera angles that would not be
possible with just one or two pieces of equipment at our disposal. Moreover,
the location needs to be able to create a certain atmosphere on screen. As
opposed to a clean and shiny leisure centre gym, we will be searching for a
location that offers a dark and dingy tone that is emblematic of the music we
have chosen for our video.
3. Appropriate lighting
After researching a wide range of music videos from past A Level students, the most
frequent gap present between them and professional music videos is the lighting.
Obviously, we do not have the high-end lighting equipment like professional
companies but the location, nevertheless, can help incredibly. Therefore, the location
we are going to use must include lighting that will pick up the main features of the
setting- I.e.actors faces, but also create shadows and a dark nature to the setting.By
having this, the lighting will be a significant part in creating the correct atmosphere
for the music video.
4. Generous space
In addition to appropriate lighting and boxing equipment, a large amount of
space to film workouts will enhance our chances of getting a wide range of
shots. For example, in order to create long shots we will need a wide space of
room between the camera and the subject of the shot. Therefore,this will be a
big part in making sure that our location is appropriate based on what we will
be able to film.
