1. To develop the narrative we need to have set of
locations where the action will take place. Therefore
location is crucial for the outcome of a music video.
2. As I was researching rock
music videos I noticed a
particular trend – the majority
of them were shot only in one
particular location. However to
make mine more efficient I
decided to use four different
locations.
I also noticed that some videos
such as ‘Yellow’ from Coldplay
sustain only from a tacking
shot which inspired me for my
outside shooting.
3. Inside:
A. Drama studio at my school – I chose it for the shots of
when the band is playing together or sitting together. I chose
it because there are different lights and I can experiment with
them and create a better media product and also there is
enough space for the whole band. Also the white background
on the walls is exactly what I am looking for.
B. The photography studio – I chose it for the two shots of
the female and male protagonist and for the shots of the
cello musician.
C. The stage at the lunch hall – I chose it for the shots where Test shots from
the protagonist/front man is singing and playing the guitar the photography
by himself. I chose it because there is a lot of space and I can
make the main character look isolated by using wide or long studio.
shots and reinforce the nostalgic theme of the song.
Outside:
A. On the street – I want to take a different tracking shots at
different locations. This will reflect on the narrative as I want
to make it look as if the two protagonists are travelling
through their life looking for something which is missing.
B. In the park – this is again tracking shot used for the same
reason mentioned above.
