2. Abandoned house
We wanted to find an abandoned house to film one of the scenes for our
music video. We started by researching where some are and finding out from
friends of any near us, we found one in pilgrims hatch but it was bordered off
so we was unable to get in. However we did find one in swallows cross near
our school but had a restricted entry as it was covered in stinging nettles and
thorn bushes. Although we was able to get inside if we wanted to use this
location it would cause difficulty in our risk assessment and getting in and out
of the house, so we won’t be using this location in our music video.
3. PANORAMA OF THE ABANDONED
HOUSE
In this picture we used a panorama shot to gain access to all parts of the house in one
shot, this was the down stairs of the house which you can see is completely ruined with
doors on the floor and pieces of glass everywhere.
This is the upstairs of the house which as you can see
is quite dark and risky being up there with the glass and
broken floor boards which could have fallen through.
Although this might have been a good location it would
have been to dark to film a scene and the risks are way
too high.

5. ABANDONED GARAGE
When we went to look at the abandoned house we came across a abandoned
garage not far from the house which we thought would be ideal for the scene we
want to do, because it had a lot of empty space and windows letting in the day
light. We could use torch lights or the lights on our phones if we felt that it might
have been too dark. This location was easier to access and was close to walking
distance of the car if we needed to bring any props, costumes and any extra
essentials needed. We are going to carry out a risk assessment on this location to
make sure it will be safe to film there. The scene we are hoping to achieve here is
Kieran sitting in the corner taking drugs/smoking and drinking to show that he is
at a low point in life. By making the shot darker it will show that he’s in a ‘dark
place’ which fits in with our story line of him being depressed and maybe thinking
of committing suicide. We will be using things such as flour as cocaine, needle
caps and empty alcohol bottles, and the character will be dressed in a tracksuit
showing he isn’t working or planning to go to work.
