3. From the research we have done on grime music videos, these
are our final locations. We have looked at grime songs on
YouTube, TV and other areas to come to these conclusions.
We have decided to use a variety of locations which relate to
are grime song. From the lyrics and the music we have related
these to are location choices as they make links and
connections. We have used the typical conventions of grime
locations as we realised this makes the video more like the
grime genre.
Are location choices relates to are artist as they have grown up
in these area’s which link to our grime lyrics mad genre.
4. School-Classroom
One of are chosen location is in school inside a classroom.
We decided to use the school that we attend as it will be
better for us to access this location. We chose this because
in are lyrics it talks about grades, which links to school and
this is how we came up with this idea. We decided as part of
a young person living in the UK education plays a huge part
as some reject the needs to be educated. Grime artists are
the known to be the rebellious types where they may
believe education is not worth it. This allows us to show a
contrast between are artist school life and his street life. As
this is a grime song the typical convention is for the artists
to go into a bad path, in are music video we chose are artist
to turn to alcohol for help.

6. Studio
The studio is another location we chose for are music video.
The reason why we chose this is because, it is to show the
artists view of his life. In are music video it shows the artist
following a bad path after he leaves school to join the
streets. In the studio the artist is rapping the lyrics about how
life could be if this happens. The studio could also suggest the
artist has made it in life to and followed his dream. He his
now in the studio making songs about his past/future life and
making money. This is the main goal for the majority grime
artists who come from poverty. It is a typical location in a
grime music video. In the school that we attend we have a
studio room which is equipped, this is where we will be
filming are studio scenes.

8. Streets/Alley ways
The streets and alley ways are a location which directly links to
grime music. This is because most of these artists grew up in the
streets in gangs being deviant and causing trouble. The ‘streets’
represent uneducated people with no career path and goal. The
streets and alley ways allows individuals to perform illegal acts/
behavior in secrecy. As people try to avoid alley ways it gives
these individuals an advantage to their business without being
caught. For example, selling drugs are mostly done in alley ways
where they will not get caught by police or be reported to the
police. In are music video we chose this place because are artists
turns to the streets as he believed there is noting left for him.
This links to are lyrics and genre, grime. The alley way we chose
to use is local to the school we attend in Stepney Way, the road is
called Durham Row. This is a quiet path where not many
pedestrians use.

10. Shop (Newsagent)
The newsagent is a location we chose to use for are artist to
go buy alcohol from. We purposely chose a newsagent
instead of a supermarkets is because it is local. They also
sell cheap alcohol mainly vodka bottles as majority buy this.
Young people have more of a chance to get served in a local
newsagent as it may not be monitored, shop owners may
serves these customers in order of business and welfare.
Also ID may not be needed as shop owners may not be
aware of customers age or they may just want to make
money. These local newsagents are based in estate areas
where there are a lot of gangs who drink for a living. The
newsagent we chose is local to are school, which is more
convenient for use if we need to go back to re film.
11.
12. Building/Estate Block
Buildings and inside estate blocks are another typical
convention for a grime music video. This links to are lyrics
and the grime genre. In are music video after the artist
leaves school he joins his friends hanging around inside
state blocks. This allows individuals to have a place to
meet and hang out as it is free of charge. It is also makes
them dominant to other people in the building as they
may be afraid of them. Estate blocks may be used to show
where the artist grew up with his friends and they believe
he doesn’t fit into the music industry and should be like
them doing nothing in life. For are music video we used to
locations to film are building/estate scenes as it was
difficult to get access inside the buildings.
