2. Subway in Ingatestone
The subway in Ingatestone worked well as a location for our
music video as it gave an urban and rustic quality to our music
video. The subway allowed us to film in a enclosed area which
kept the heat in which helped Nicole to wear revealing clothes
that fitted our music genre without feeling cold or
uncomfortable and could still dance and play the part of our
main character. The subway was fitted with over head spot
lights that allowed us to film throughout the day without
worrying about the lighting being to dark outside for filming.
The subway was spacious which allowed us to capture
different angles and views of Nicole dancing. The subway
walls was dirty so before filming we ensured they was clean
by scrubbing off mud and residue of the walls for filming.
3. Brick Lane
We decided to chose Brick lane as one of our main
locations for our music video due to the urban and
quirky feel of our song. The area of Brick lane we
decided to use Is down the side streets which are
walls covered with graffiti in bright colours. The
costume we used for this location also fitted in
really well the graffiti and the Mise en scene of
our music genre. Nicole wears colours that stand
out against the bright coloured walls and her
outfit also had patterns to help her stand out
against the wall to keep her the main attraction in
the music video. We managed to film a variety of
different camera angles when filming by being
down the side roads which allowed us to have
more privacy and room to have the tripod at
different heights and angles.
4. Cobbled Road in Whitechapel
Another location we used for our music
video is a cobbled side road down
Whitechapel. We decided to film here as it
goes against the stereotypical perception of
an old fashioned cobbled road by having
colourful tiles against the wall showing a
pattern and further down the road there is a
piece of art spray painted against the wall of
a mythical creature. We thought this would
fit the genre of our music video because our
main character shows a contrast of two
different characters like the cobbled
road, the road being old fashioned but
quirky and our main character being smart
but having a wilder side. Down the cobbled
road our main character is seen dancing and
singing.
5. Conference Room
Due to not having permission to film on Beth’s
dad’s office grounds we last minute decided to
have the our schools conference room as a
location for our office scene. We decided this
would be the best place to film our office scene
as it is laid out in an office style and its
convenient to use as its located in our school
and we don’t have to travel to get there.
6. Aldgate East Station
Our last location we decided to use was Aldgate east station due
to having difficulties filming in the actual underground we
decided to film outside the station. We decided to film here as it
was close and linked to our other locations. It also fits the
narrative performance of our video as it shows the viewers how
she has travelled from one place to another. We also felt that
filming on the tube would give it a quirky effect and would make
our music video different from other videos.
