The document describes 12 potential filming locations for a music video. The locations include the filmmaker's living room, bathroom, and friend's living room, hallway, kitchen, and backyard to depict scenes of the main character getting ready and attending a house party. Other locations are the Halifax Irish Centre stage for a performance, their bar, a bus stop to show the character missing the bus, the end of a driveway, and Natty Lane to show aftermath scenes. Each location provides context for how shots would relate to the song lyrics and advance the narrative, noting practical considerations like ease of access and lighting needs.

1. LOCATIONS
By Ciaran Emmett

2. MY LIVING ROOM
Location Description
Some shots will be filmed in my living room at
the start of the music video. These shots will
show Liam watching TV and looking bored. This
shot will be recorded during the day as it is set
a few hours before the party begins at night-
time. The advantage of this location is that it is
in my house so I have easy access to it. It is
also a relatively big room so shots from a
variety of angles can be shot in this location.
This would be relatable for my audience
because a lot of people tend to have lazy days
in which they relax and watch TV.

3. THE HALIFAX IRISH CENTRE’S STAGE
Location Description
A lot of shots will be recorded on the stage at the
Halifax Irish Centre. This location will be used for
the performance based shots of Liam performing
the song. It does not matter if this is filmed during
the day or at night as it is indoor. However, due to
this being a stage I have access to a lighting
system so the lighting for this location will be a
range of colours. The advantages of this location
are that it is a realistic venue for performing a song
as it is on a stage and this is where songs are
predominantly performed. The lighting will also
help to create an engaging effect upon the
audience as it is constantly changing. This venue
is also easy to access as it is where I work. The
only negative is that I may have to book out the
function room as there are sometimes events
occurring in this room which would make it difficult
to film here.

4. MY BATHROOM
Location Description
A couple of shots will be filmed in my bathroom at
the start of the music video. In this location, Liam
will be shown getting ready to go out and
performing actions such as doing his hair and
tucking his shirt in. These shots will be filmed in
the bathroom as they accurately represent the
lyrics of the song. This shot will be filmed during
the day as it will show Liam getting ready to go to
a party which begins when it is night-time. The
advantage of this location is that it is in my house
so I have easy access to it. The lighting for this
location is also very bright so these shots will be
very clear and visible. I will ensure that this
location is clean and has a fresh appearance and
there will be an occurring theme of white in the
bathroom as the sink, toilet, draws and shower are
white.

5. NATTY LANE BUS STOP
Location Description
Some shots at the start of the music video will be
filmed at Natty Lane Bus Stop. The shots filmed at
this location will show Liam missing and chasing
after his bus. This because it accurately
represents the meaning of the lyrics and highlights
that Liam is an unlucky character. This will be
filmed during the afternoon when it is light but
slowly becoming dark as this highlights he is on
his way to a party which will begin at night-time.
The main advantage of this location is that it is
open to the public so it is easy to gain access to
record at this location. The only issue that could
arise is that there could be a lot of people present
due to it being a public location so it could be
slightly crowded. This location will be relatable for
my audience because you can actually catch a
bus in this location as well as miss them; which
happens to Liam in the music video.

6. DRIVEWAY
Location Description
One shot will be shot at the bottom of a
driveway. The shot at this location will show
Liam waiting nervously at the bottom of the
drive looking nervous and then slowly begin
walking towards the house. This shot will be
filmed at night as this is when the party begins
so the lighting will be dark for this shot. The
advantage of this location is that it belongs to
my friend so it is easy to access. An issue
which may arise is that it is filmed at night so it
could be difficult to see the shot clearly.

7. LIVING ROOM
Location Description
A lot of shots will be filmed in Kane’s living
room. This location will be used to represent
Liam drinking and a lot of the party scenes will
be filmed in this location. This shot will be
recorded at night because it is common for a
party to begin at night. Because of this, the
lighting will be quite dark for these shots. For
example, there will be no light coming through
the window as it is going to be filmed at night
and no main lights will be turned on, just a
couple of lamps so that there is some form of
light. The advantage of this location is that it
belongs to my friend so it is easy to access.
One issue that could arise is that it is quite a
narrow room so it may be difficult to shoot from
a range of angles in this location.

8. HALLWAY
Location Description
A couple of shots will be filmed in Kane’s
hallway. The lyrics in this song say “So he
stumbles down the hallway” and I intend to
accurately represent this so there will be
numerous shots of Liam appearing under the
influence of alcohol and stumbling around the
hallway. This shot will be recorded at night
because it is common for a party to begin at
night. Because of this, the lighting will be quite
dark for these shots. The advantage of this
location is that it belongs to my friend so it is
easy to access. One issue that could arise is
that it is quite a narrow room so it may be
difficult to shoot from a range of angles in this
location.

9. KITCHEN
Location Description
Towards the end of the music video, a few shots will
be filmed in a kitchen. In this location, Liam will be
shown making advances upon the girl he fancies
before she rejects him. After this, Liam can be seen
rummaging through the fridge trying to find a drink
before the girl he fancies boyfriend confronts him and
throws a punch at him. This shot will be recorded at
night because it is common for a party to begin at
night. However, the lighting will be quite bright in this
location as the fridge will produce some light and the
kitchen light will also be on in order to make the fight
scene more visible. The advantage of this location is
that it belongs to my friend so it is easy to access.
One issue that could arise is that it is quite a narrow
room so it may be difficult to shoot from a range of
angles in this location. People are usually scattered
around the house for a party however, people usually
converse in a kitchen at some point during the night
so this will make the music video more relatable and

10. HALIFAX IRISH CENTRE’S BAR
Location Description
One shot will be shot at the Halifax Irish
Centre’s bar in the middle of this music video.
The lyrics in the song say “He changes onto
doubles so he doesn’t feel as sober” so I intend
to accurately represent these lyrics and take
film a time lapse of a double shot of vodka
being poured behind the bar at the Halifax Irish
Centre in order to accurately represent that
Liam is becoming more and more intoxicated.
This shot will be filmed during the day as this is
what time I have access to the venue at so the
lighting will be quite bright because of this. This
location is easy to access as it is where I work.
The only issue with this location is that I will
have to wait until it is not busy so that I have the
time to record the shot.

11. BACK GARDEN
Location Description
Towards the end of the music video, a few
shots will be filmed in a back garden. This shot
will show Liam getting beat up by a group of
people. This shot will be filmed at night as it is
during the party which began at night so the
lighting will be quite dark for these shots. The
advantage of this location is that it belongs to
my friend so it is easy to access. An issue
which may arise is that it is filmed at night so it
could be difficult to see the shot clearly.

12. NATTY LANE
Location Description
The final shot of the narrative shall be filmed on
Natty Lane. At this location, Liam will be seen
sat on the curb looking demoralised whilst the
girl he fancied is shouting at him. This shot will
be recorded at night because it is after the
house party and house parties for teenagers
commonly occur at night so this is filmed at
night in order to make the music video more
realistic. The main advantage of this location is
that it is open to the public so it is easy to gain
access to record at this location. The only issue
that could arise is that there could be a lot of
people present due to it being a public location
so it could be slightly crowded. This is relatable
for a teenage audience because at the end of a
party people usually wait on the streets for a
taxi.
