The document discusses the location chosen for a student film project. The group decided to film at High Vinnels woodland instead of the originally proposed seaside location. High Vinnels was easier to access and allowed the group to still capture themes of friendship and a road trip journey in their indie music video. Pictures show areas in the forest that will be used, including a gathering spot and lake, to give a traditional camping feel. The new location is safer and more accessible for the group.

1. Location

2.  Due to our pitch feedback suggesting that
we use a location that was easier to
access rather than the seaside we decided
to use High Vinnels, which is a woodland
location about 2 miles from our college.
This we decided showed redundant
features of the indie genre, but also was
more within our reach. Here are some
pictures of the areas around the forest
that we intend to use...

3. As our pitch feedback suggested
that our overall idea of the video
was successful, we decided to still
keep the theme of friendship
throughout our video as the main
point. So we therefore chose
spots such as this one which
shows a gathering point within the
forest: perfect for our theme of
‘hanging out’.

4. As a group we have decided to keep the idea of
documenting the journey to our location to give
the idea of a road trip, which is an idea used in
other indie videos, therefore we are using
locations such as these ones, to show our
group making our way to the forest.

5. We thought the use
of the lake and the
idyllic backgrounds
would give a very
traditional camping
trip feel to the video.
This shows a clear
concept of what we
are trying to achieve
from our video. It is
also a rather quiet
location so that
members of the
public do not disrupt
our filming time, and
we do not obstruct
anyone else's
activities.

6.  Overall we are very happy with our location
choice, it is a much more accessible spot for our
group and cast members. And also does not pose
as many dangers as the first location did. For
example we are no longer near water and our
journey is not as long. We as a group feel this
will connote our indie genre well and that this will
enable us to create a music video that fits in with
our overall vision.
