The document discusses potential location ideas for filming a music video. It proposes using the school studio with backdrops and lights to film performance elements, as the simplicity would be effective. The tennis courts could also be used to get natural light giving it a gloomy or fresh look depending on the weather, fitting the song tempo. Behind-the-scenes shots of filming the artist in front of backdrops could incorporate lyrics about fame. Shots of nighttime traffic could link to lyrics about travelling while fitting the alternative genre aesthetically.

1. Location of Music Video
Planning
By Molly Maddison

2. In the lesson today we started thinking about possible
locations in which we could film our music video so we did
a brainstorm of the ideas that we had. We wanted fairly
minimal locations rather than something really elaborate
both because it would be easier for the group to access
and use these locations and also because we are doing a
song of an alternative genre we didn't feel that elaborate
locations would fit in well with this genre.

3. As we want to incorporate some
performance elements separately
to the narrative sections of the
video I thought that we could use
a studio in the video. There is a
studio at school with backdrops
and lights that we could easily
use. I think this location will be
effective because of its simplicity.

4. The school also has some tennis
courts which we could easily use, I
think that this location will look good
in the video because filming there in
winter and using the natural light will
probably give it a gloomy look which
will fit with the tempo of the song or
if it is sunny on the day of filming this
will give it a fresh look. I also want to
use this song because it will create a
link between the lyrics and the video.

5. As I found when analysing
the lyrics of the song that
some of the lyrics were in
reference to the artist
becoming more famous, I
had an idea that we could
incorporate some behind the
shots of us filming our
artist in front of the
backdrops to show this
literally and create an even
stronger link between the
lyrics and the visuals.

6. As there are some
references to travelling in
the video I thought it
could be effective if we
got some exposure shots
of traffic going through
the road at night because
it would fit in with the
alternative genre and
could look really artistic
when edited in, it would
also create a link
between links and the
visuals.
