Descriptions of the locations that I will be filming at.

1. Music Video Shooting Locations

2. Location 1 – The Green Room
The ‘Green Room’ is a facility at Wyke 6th Form College that is available to
students who study Media and Film. I will be using this location to use the white
cover over the green screen. I have chosen this location because of the three
point lighting system, which will give me more clear and vibrant shots. I am also
using it because it’s the best place to set up cameras and equipment, it is also
private and available for booking time slots which means I am certain to have
time to film at this location. It was also only a room away from the Media
Technician who was there to help if I had any problems.
My main caution for when I am filming is that I will be transporting a heavy fish
tank filled with water in a place that is surrounded by electrics – the lights and
wires on the floor.

3. Location 2 – My House
I will be filming at my house as I need a basic wall for the background behind
the artist in my video. It is also advantageous as I will have all of the
equipment, makeup and costumes that I need at home. I also have unlimited
time here as I do not need to book a time slot. My only concern is the lighting
as there will only be electrical lighting (compared to three point lighting) and
natural source lighting from the window. Although as I will be buying a UV
torch I will be able to experiment whether it will be a successful source of
lighting. I will also be able to play the song repeatedly and louder so that my
artist can lip sync and feel the mood of the song. I will also be filming the ink
in water shots here.

4. Location 3 – Barton Nature Reserve
This location is great for an abstract music video as there are no other people
around so the video can easily have no narrative and be completely focussed
on the artist. There are really pretty areas to shoot both natural and
manmade locations. The bird watching huts have a warm wood setting which
makes a great background and is naturistic which is relaxing and conforms the
indie genre. The ponds are also a good location as the water links to the ink in
water idea. The paths create a very hippie/psychedelic feel to the video
especially as it is within the trees and a very symmetrical shot, unfortunately
with it being Winter there will be no leaves on the trees.
