2. This is the location we used to shoot shots 17
and 18. We decided to use this road as the
trees gave cover and the light looked good
coming through them. Also the leaves on the
ground makes the atmosphere darker and
colder as it gives the sense that the seasons
are changing from summer to autumn.
3. This is the location we used for shots 12 – 14. We
used this location because it was secluded and there
was not very much traffic, as this is the place where
the ‘hit and run’ occurs we thought that the less
people around the better. As this is quite a suburban
area it juxtaposes the action which is taking place in
the location. This is an intertextual reference to the
opening in “Blue Velvet” in which there is a suburban
area in America which seems perfect from the
outside but the undergrowth and some of the
connotations are of something less ‘perfect’.
4. This is the location we used to shoot the river and final
scene before Jacob gets back into the car. We chose this
location because of the openness of it and because
many different shots could be shot in this area. This
location reminds me of John Crome’s painting of
Sheppard's on Mousehold Heath, which too has
prominent cloud in the sky and a large open field. This
gives another level of intertextuality as John Crome was
a Norwich born painter
5. This location we used for shots 19 – 22. We used
this location because it would be good for reflection
shots and also gives a sense of unease because of
the emptiness and the road by the side of the river
which you can see in the background. This is an
intertextual reference to the film “The River” (1951),
the narrative of this film is similar to the narrative of
my music video. “the movie attests to a teenager's
first love, and how her heart was broken when the
man she fell in love”.
6. At this location we shot some shots that were not on
our original shot list. We used this location because it
was different to our other and so gave some variation
to our music video. The shot was of the female
character standing in the middle of the street with
people moving around her. This in intertextually linked
to the video “Look Up” which is all about not letting
social media take over our lives.
