The document summarizes various locations used for filming a music video. North London was chosen for its lively atmosphere and diversity, though it was farther from home. A café was used to show the protagonist eating and talking with friends to make the video more realistic. Scenes were also filmed at a local library to enhance the atmosphere of friends together, though it was noisy so filming occurred during quiet times. The opening scenes were filmed at a school corridor to convey ideas of happiness and hate as the protagonist passed exams with her boyfriend.
