Locations

WE HAVE CHOSEN 5 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO ADD A WIDE VARIATION OF CINEMATOGRAPHY AND MISE-EN-SCENE. THIS WILL HOPEFULLY CONFORM TO THE CONVENTIONS OF A INDIE MUSIC VIDEO AS THEY NORMALLY CONSIST OF A VARIETY OF INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SCENES...

1. WHITE ROOM
- This room is for the performance of the main star (Miles Newman) to be singing in.
- He will pictured against a plain white wall either sitting on a high stool, commonly seen in music videos, or standing/leaning against the wall.
- We are trying to make the star have the "cool" appeal which is highly sought after when watching music videos. Hopefully the location paired with the costume will achieve that.

2. CAMBRIDGE BACK STREETS
- We have decided to use this location as in the night time where the streets are lit by the night clubs and street lights, it looks quite dark and lonely when outside on the streets. This is what we are aiming for as we would like our female character to be seen as isolated from the inside night life.
- We have found these ideas from research into 'The A Team' by Ed Sheeran.

3. THE PIT
- Some of the lyrics describe a club scene where the main girl will have been first found by the lead singer. We are planning to do this in the pit at school which is equipped with lights and a sound system.
- We will get a larger group of people and gets shots of the group dancing together.
- We will then slow these shots down so that the dancers look like they are in a sort of trance.

4. BATHROOM
- Whilst the bridge is playing we wish to shoot some clips of the main girl (Honor Chapman) wiping her make up off. We'd like to try and shoot some very emotional shots to try and complete the video.
- It is meant to be hard hitting and thought provoking. We have chosen to do this in a derelict bathroom as it will be a representation of the cracks in the girl's surface.

5. HOTEL HALLWAY
- The lyrics describe the main girl as being a stripper/prostitute to try and make ends meet and look after her boy. We would like to shoot some footage inside a hotel to show a man coming up to a room and meeting her.
- We would also end the music video in this location as we can show it as a flash back of her being exhausted and fed up whilst in the room by herself.
