Possible Locations

This location is of a quiet and calm park. I believe that this type of location could be used when either lip syncing or when taking filler shots. Within this location shot it shows a small sheltered seating area which would be ideal for a close up shot of some lip syncing. Moreover, the autumn appearance makes the shot and frame look very pleasant. Moreover, another reason for choosing this type of location is due to the colour the scheme. The autumn colours such as the reds and oranges create a vibrant set of colours which makes it look very attractive. In addition, the mood of the image brings out a slow and laid back atmosphere. This is very beneficial as it can also relate to the pace and mood of the song. For example, the song has a slow pace and the location can have some relevance to parts of the lyrics.

The second location is of London. We believe that using this popular location will be very beneficial as it has a lot to offer. For example, London has plenty of lovely sceneries which would make get frames and shots. In the photograph it shows the houses of parliament which is a popular destination, and by including it in our music video, it gives an opportunity for people to relate themselves to the location. This location could be used for multiple purposes but it could be specifically used for filler shots and establishing shots. At night time London offers a beautiful and attractive appearance which will make our music video look even more appealing.

This is another location that could be specifically used when lip syncing. Our idea around using this as a location is by filming the busy background and then using that onto a green screen and then gets someone to lip sync over it. This effective will look as if the singer is there at the time whilst everyone is walking around. The background footage will be sped up, therefore making the singer stand out and put to the centre of attention.

Hamptons will be used in our video as part of the chorus where I will be lip syncing as the scenery around there is very nice, and will provide the viewer enjoyment and aesthetic appreciation of the outdoors when watching our video. It is seen as quite a posh and well looked after place, and as my character is in a bad way, I will be at the top of the hill, looking down upon the goings on around me as if everyone is in a better position than me. Being on top of the hill will create a real contrast with the lyrics as they will be saying "Lost it all to this life" and by being up high it suggests the main character is in a high authority position, when in fact he is at a sort of all-time low.

Another location that we will have is home. We use this location for a shot at the start of the song when it talks about the main character waking up in the story behind the lyrics. The footage filmed in the house will not be long; however it is necessary for out video to begin with. The initial waking up of the main character is key to the storyline as the lyrics and the mood of the song suggests that the day’s happenings for this character are pretty routine and he seems stuck in the cycle and cannot get out. The props in this sequence will need to be specifically placed in order for the audience to get the initial storyline.
