MILLINGTON WOODS
A 52 ACRE ANCIENT ASH WOOD SET WITHIN A VALLEY OF
THE YORKSHIRE WOLDS, A LOCAL NATURE RESERVE
Ease of Location Easy to travel to for group members. Only a 10 minute short
drive from our homes. It will be easy for us to transport our equipment there
without any hassle.
Suitable for Intimate scenes with focus on 1 or 2 subjects. For walking
scenes, particularly with a lot of establishing wide shots as well as close ups
Signifies Intimacy, romance, warmth with the autumnal/winter season also
representing letting go of the past and representing the new beginnings
Millington Woods would be perfect for scenes focusing on a couple, perhaps on
a date. This is perfect for our music video as the basis of the storyline is focused
around a couple therefore a date scene which could be filmed in such a focused
manner would contribute to the delivery of a storyline for the viewers

3. LOCATION NO.2
FANGFOSS JUBILEE PARK Ease of Location Easy to travel to for group members. Only a 5
minute short drive from our homes. Easy to transport equipment to
however the trek from a parked vehicle to the park itself could be
hard with equipment
Suitable for Scenes showing the relationship between two people,
playful and walking scenes available to be shot
Signifies Fun, playfulness, Joy, Family, A slightly less intimate feel than
Location #1 at Millington Woods
Fangfoss Jubilee Park is also perfect for a date scene. The park has
separate sections and locations which makes filming easy due to the
variety of shots and the number of different parts of the video I could
film all within the same locations e.g. laughter can be shown in the
park with slightly sadder times being shown in the walking green area.

7. Props
◦ A collection of flowers for a memorial of someone that has passed away. This includes several bunches of flowers. The flowers will be
used at the end of the video when the female character visits the memorial of her late partner. The chosen flowers will have to be types
of flowers that would be seen at a grave, not flowers that would be used for celebrations. This is because it wouldn't be appropriate for
the chosen theme.
• Musical instruments will be featured as props. We need to include a microphone, guitar,
keyboard and possibly some drums. This is to be featured in the shot of the live
performance of the band. Alternative rock / indie bands such as The Script usually include
a scene with the band playing live, therefore we have incorporated this into our ideas. For
example the image to the left is taken from the video for The Hall of Fame and it is a
scene of the band performing in the video and props such as drums are included.
• Christmas items will be featured in the video. There is a scene of the couple in a flashback at a
Christmas market. We are going to ask for permission to film in the Christmas Market at York. We
would need to include a shot of the couple buying something at a stall. So we need to include a
Christmas stall as one of the props. Also the lights in these shots may include Christmas lights and
possibly the Christmas tree in York city. The couple could buy some candyfloss at one of the stalls.
To the right are some images of what the Christmas Market has looked like in previous years.
• One of the scenes we are filming at is a country pub. In this
scene the couple will be sat down having a drink. Therefore we
need props such as glasses of either wine, beer or a soft drink.

8. Costumes
◦ Both the main male and female character will be wearing casual clothes. This is because the video is set in an everyday environment. As the video is set in
the Christmas period then warm winter clothes will be worn. Such as thick winter coats, scarfs, hats, trousers and jumpers. Throughout the flashbacks, the
characters will wear a variety of different clothes to indicate to the audience that time is passing and the flashbacks occur on different days.
◦ In the shots were the female character is visiting the memorial, she will wear black or dark clothes because dark colours symbolise death. Also at a funeral
or when visiting a grave people traditionally wear dark colours. This will suggest to the audience that the male character has passed away, this will make the
storyline flow better and ensure that the audience don’t get confused.
The image to the
right is an
example of the
music video ‘The
Man Who Can’t
be Moved’ by The
Script. We are
recreating this
video and this is
the kind of casual
clothes that the
actors are going
to be wearing.
This screenshot is from
the video ‘Secrets’ by
One Republic. The
female character in
the music video is
wearing casual winter
clothes, which we
want to recreate.
