Location Scouting

In order to ensure that we get as many potential locations to use as possible when filming our video, we have decided to split the locations into a category each to find. Below is a list of each of our categories, and then the pictures of various potential bedrooms which I believe we could include as part of our video. 

Me - Bedroom
Rhys - Woods (daytime)
Jack - Woods (nighttime, meaning there mustn't be any visible street lights or noise restrictions)
Calum - Lane and abandoned house

Potential bedroom locations found by me: 



Bedroom 1 (above) - I believe that this bedroom would be suitable as it is a good medium between being too large to be realistic, and too small to be able to effectively film in. However, it would need to be decorated in a way which reflects the theme of the song much better, as it currently seems to be too inviting and welcoming in order to connote the things which it needs to in order to be suitable for our video. 

Bedroom 2 (right and below) - This would be the easiest of the three bedrooms to film in, as it has a huge amount of space, meaning we could even set up two separate cameras in order to capture the action from separate angles to edit together. However, it could be seen as unrealistic as it is too large to conceivably be a teenagers bedroom, and it is also a source of a lot of natural light, which is likely to ruin the theme of darkness which we are attempting to capture in our video. 


Bedroom 3 (right and below) - This bedroom has a window which can be covered up in order to remove almost all of the natural light, allowing us to create the light setting as part of our mise-en-scene configurations. In addition to this, it is fairly plain (barring the wallpaper which would have to be covered over in order to not look completely out of place), which allows a lot of room for us to adapt it in order to work well with our video. This means that, with a few modifications to make it look more professional, this bedroom would be the most appropriate for the scenes of our music video which require a bedroom.




























Investigating various locations we could potentially use allows us to get a much more effective final product from our video shoot, as it will show in the video that we have properly considered all of the locations in terms of practicality and representation.
