2. LOCATION 1: BOA TV STUDIO.
• The BOA TV Studio is located at
Birmingham Ormiston Academy.
A creative, digital, performing arts
school for 14 – 19 year olds. The
studio is suitable for my music
video as this is where I attend
school and is also where other
shots within my video take place.
It also contains high quality
lighting and a green screen.

4. LOCATION 2: CITY LOCATIONS.
My city locations seen throughout
my music video will be filmed in
Birmingham, UK. This is because
the shopping complex, local park
and streets in general provide a
perfect feel for the setting I want my
main character to be seen in. The
area is also local meaning filming
can be easily arranged.
5. LOCATION 2: CITY LOCATIONS.
• AVAILABILITY:
Not applicable. 24/7.
• CONTACT DETAILS:
Birmingham City Council, Feedback, Freepost,
Birmingham, B1 1BR.
• POWER SOURCE:
No power source provided. We will have to provide our own
means of power if needed.
• SOUND/ LIGHTING ISSUES:
Have to rely on natural lighting. Can be a problem if the
scene is due to be shot in high key lighting as filming will
commence during the winter months. I will therefore
organise another filming day if lighting isn’t what expected.
6. LOCATION 3: LOCATIONS AROUND BOA.
• I wish to film some scenes set in
a typical high school setting. I am
going to use Birmingham
Ormiston Academy (BOA) as my
school location to film classroom
scenes and dance sequences.
This is because the academy is
my sixth form so saves on travel
and having to gain permission to
film elsewhere.
7. LOCATION 3: LOCATIONS AROUND BOA.
• AVAILABILITY:
Monday – Thursday 9:00-4:15, Friday 9:00-2:15 (to be
booked in advance).
• CONTACT DETAILS:
1 Grosvenor St, Birmingham, B4 7QD (0121 359 9300)
• POWER SOURCE:
Mains. Multiple plug sockets.
• SOUND/ LIGHTING ISSUES:
Bright, modern, florescent lighting for most of the academy.
No problems with the lighting.
8. LOCATION 4: HOME (TAMWORTH).
I am filming some of my music
video in and around the area that
I live as if the protagonist lives
there. I chose to film at my house
as it is easier location wise and
has the props needed to create
the pictures I have described in
my storyboard and script.
9. LOCATION 4: HOME (TAMWORTH).
• AVAILABILITY:
Approximately 12:00-6:00 weekend afternoons.
• CONTACT DETAILS:
Through director (Jamie).
POWER SOURCE:
Mains. Multiple plug sockets.
• SOUND/ LIGHTING ISSUES:
Tungsten lighting. Extra lighting can be available for more
high key scenes, although most scenes at home will be
dark and in low key lighting.
10. LOCATION 5: BARCLAYCARD ARENA.
• The main change in narrative within the music
video is when the protagonist goes to a concert. I
chose to film this at a Lady Gaga concert within
the Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham. This is
because the concert was in the genre of pop and
had a lot of my target audience attending. This
meant I could have relatable characters as
background extras who are the same age as the
main protagonist and the target audience. In
addition, I knew a lot of the people going who
would want to be an extra and I am doing my
music video around a
Lady Gaga song.
11. LOCATION 6: BARCLAYCARD ARENA.
• AVAILABILITY:
Thursday 13th November 2014 ONLY! Limited availability –
10:00AM – 8:30PM. Can not film during main artists set.
• CONTACT DETAILS:
King Edwards Rd, Birmingham, B1 2AA (0121 780 4141)
• POWER SOURCE:
No power supply available to us.
• SOUND/ LIGHTING ISSUES:
Outdoor lighting may be a problem but will have to work
around it and get best shots possible. Indoor lighting may
also be a problem with concert lighting – will film majority
before concert starts to get shots with the house lights on.
12. LOCATION 7: ABANDONED HOUSE.
• I wanted to capture some “individual”
and different footage for my music video.
I therefore wanted to film around an old,
well visited abandoned house in order to
create dark, indexical signs around the
protagonist. The house has remained
untouched since the 1970’s and is
therefore interestingly stuck in time. The
location will allow me to play around with
vintage effects and create a music video
and digipak with
a difference.
13. LOCATION 7: ABANDONED HOUSE.
• AVAILABILITY:
One take event, can not revisit due to location. 9:00AM-5:00PM
Monday – Friday.

it and get best shots possible.
Indoor lighting may also be extremely
dark but this is the effect I wish to
create.
