1. Locations
●School room 1
●This room will be suitable for my music
video because there is a projector and a
white wall that will allow my projection to
be seen clearer. I am going to use this
space for shots of the artist against the
white board with the projection on her.
This location will be more efficient for the
projection to be seen as there is lots of
space and projectors. The location itself
would be easy to access for me and I will be
able to film anytime needed, furthermore
my actors can also easily access the school. I
will just need permission from a teacher to
use the room.
2. ●Bedroom 2
●This setting will also be relatable for
the audience. A bedroom symbolises a
private space, so the audience may
feel more emotionally connected to the
artist. The location itself would be easy to
access for me and I will be able to film
anytime needed. The bedroom will include
props that are also relatable for teenagers
and young adults. In this location the artist
will be looking at the records that we have
previously seen in the Halifax Town Centre
location, this will link the narrative and
show the audience that she is reminiscing
her time with the boy she is singing about.
3. ●Clayton Parish Church
●This location is also fairly local so would be
easy to access for filming at any time. The
filming process could be distracted as people
would be walking through the village. I would
have to film through the day so that the
location could be seen. Also it could be difficult
to get a wide shot as the location is opposite a
main road.
●The church would be symbolic as it would
show how the artist saw her boyfriend as a
higher power and their relationship like
religion. Furthermore, the quote on the
entrance relates to the lyrics within the song.
This would give meaning and relation to the
lyrics within the video.
●
4. ●Ogden wind turbines
●This location is close to my home so I would
be able to film at any point without out
pressure. Furthermore there is a large space
and hardly ever people around so there will be
no distractions. It could be a problem though,
as the wind turbines are quite a long walk
away, so the walk would have to be timed to
make sure that the filming takes place when
the location is still light. Furthermore, it would
impractical to carry large props to this location
since it is so far and a fairly difficult walk and it
will be cold, which may not be portrayed well
on camera.
●The location itself would symbolise freedom,
something the artist is lacking in the song. The
large open fields could be used to isolate the
artist, which gives meaning to the video.
●
5. ●School (Trinity Academy)
●The location of Trinity Academy would be
practical for me as I could film within the school
whenever I like, furthermore the lighting from
the studio will work in my favour as it will not
change. There could be students walking around
but if I filmed outside of school hours then I
would have lots of space and time to film.
●This location will be beneficial as it has a
plain white background that is commonly
seen in music videos and I could manipulate
the background easily. I will also be
including the studio lights in the frame, this
will emphasise how the artist feels isolated
and vulnerable as she is alone with the lights
shining on her only.
6. ●Living room (fort)
●I would like to recreate this in my living
room. The location itself would be easy to
access for me and I will be able to film
anytime needed. Furthermore, I will have
enough room and time to recreate a fairy
light fort.
●I think this would work well in my music
video as the use of lighting would give
more diversity. After studying pop music
videos I have found that many videos
contain a variety of lighting to attract an
audience. The fort could represent how
the artist is trying to protect herself within
the relationship and the
childish nature of the relationship itself.
●
7. ●National science and media museum
●This location would be useful as it is local
and cheap to access. However it can get
very busy so it may be difficult to get a shot
with no distractions. This could also take a
lot of time as there can be a long waiting
time.
●This location would fit well within my video
as it would represent a date location, this
links to the relationship referenced in the
lyrics. Furthermore, there are many
different rooms that would give my video
diversity and multiple illusions that would
give more of an effect on the use of
camera.
●
8. ●Halifax Town Centre
●This location would be useful as it is local and cheap to
access. However it can get very busy so it may be
difficult to get a shot with no distractions. This location
would fit well within my video as it would represent a
date location, this links to the relationship referenced
in the lyrics. There are many shops and cafes that could
enhance interest in my video since the locations will
appear more varied. Shots of the couple in the town
will be relatable for teenagers and young adults as they
are likely to spend Christmas shopping and hanging
around.
●
●I will be shooting in the CEX store as it will be
relatable for young adults, but it will also be
relatable for slightly older audiences who would
prefer physical over digital copies of film. The store
is colourful which will be attractive to my audience
and will link to the shots of the projection as this
keeps the cinematic theme running. The actors will
be picking up DVDs and filming each other around
the stores. To create a travel vlog/vintage camera
effect.
9. ●Halifax Town Centre
●I will be shooting in this record store for a
similar reason to the CEX store. The actors will
be looking around at the records and
referencing famous artists that will be relatable
to pop culture. Adults will be able to relate to
shopping in a record store, however it has
become trendy in pop culture and is
recognisable for audiences from many films
and music videos.
●
●
●I will film in the Halifax Borough Market as it
will be Christmassy and colourful which will
attract the audience. There will also be a
variation of stalls that will increase interest.
Audiences will be able to relate to the busy
environment. The actors will walk around the
stalls in similar way that they are hanging
around the rest of Halifax Town Centre.
