DECIDING ON A LOCATION FOR MY SINGER

After my feedback on the song choice and starting to come up with ideas to use in my videos, I had to start thinking about different locations to use.
I wanted to use more than one location because the video could become tedious otherwise because the locations add variety to the video.

My first idea was to use a funfair that was happening in Central London at the time. I thought this would be a good idea to film at night time because it could be seen as magical, which would be ideal for a love story. This would be used for the shots that are 'looking back in the past' in my music video. Unfortunatley, once I was ready to film, the fair had moved on and after thinking about it, I realised that the lighting would not be suitable and I would prefer to set my video during the day.

After deciding on this, I wanted my singer and that element of the video to be focused around a country/boohoo chic theme. With this in mind, I decided to use my garden as a starting point.

As you can see from this image, there were some challenges and things that could possibly get in the way during my filming. Though the trampoline could be used in some music videos, I did not think that it was suitable for my particular song. With this, I had to work around the different challenges, which limited me to different settings within the garden.



This is a tree in my garden. I thought this would be good as a scene to use. Though it looks haunting here, In the light I think it will be a good location, which fits in well with the country theme. This will allow me to have a good low angle of my actor/actress.



With this in mind, I decided that it would be good if I located somewhere else for the singing. I decided to go to the local park, which would be bigger and would provide more space for me to film.



Not only did the park provide me with a large green spaced area and other elements such as benches that I could incorporate into my video, but there were also woods that I thought would make a change to my settings.

At first I was eager to find a play park because I thought it would be a different setting that could easily connote lonliness. In regards to this, I was unable to find a local play park that had the resources I wanted.

I also decided to use a bedroom in my house. This was a good location because I wanted a scene that involved the artist crying/being sad and looking at old photos.

As well as this, I wanted to use the window seat in my bedroom.. This is an ideal location because I wanted to incorporate a sad scene, which shows the artist looking out of the window.
