Location Research

As we wanted to display our ideas of inviduality through our music video. We had to pick specific locations to film scence of the music video. so the footage would match the genre of the music rock/indie. we used very specific locations and lights to set specific moods with in a scene, we used old abadoned pubs in south london to lighted bedrooms.

This was the abandoned pub we used in Roehampton. This was used to film to opening scene of our music video. I believe it works really well as it creates a run down atmosphere, which we want the audience to experience as this is wneh Freddy wakes up and realises thst he needs to change the way he is living as it is after a stange and chaotic night (party scene).





When we where filming the party scene, we had to make sure the scene would look like an authentic party. For this reason we decide to film the scene in the drama studios at our 6th form. this way we could use the lights that are used for school productions, to create a realistic party atmosphere. To create this atmosphere we need to have extras within the scene, however we do it need to create a party, as closeup and boady shots can immitae a large amount of people being there along with strobe lighting.

The filiming of the sex scene is going to take place in my bedroom. we decided to use my bedroom due to the fact of the black out bind. as it would allow us to immitate the night, and also allow a flow through our music video as this scene comes after the party. We are going to use the blue light in my room when filming the intermate parts of the scene. As it offers us a colourfull light which project ideas that freddy and the girl encountered each other at party, and that they are under the influence of alchol. Therefore they are hping not to meet or see each other again.

The filming of Freddy going to the 'sex clinic' will take place at a dis-used goverment building. The reasons for this are, the building is at the top of my road so we could film a big segment of the video in one day as we had the resouce of my house, allowing us to bring up needed props and equipment from my house with out having to carry it around with us, also the building offers authencity and replication of a real clinic. As the building has a goverment look to it, due to the fact the building is dis-used it fits in to the theme of the video along with the derelict pub, in the opening sequence.

The other locations needed where surban streets. as the rest of the footage needed was Freddy going on his jouney to the clinic after waking up out side the pub. We decided to use the idea of freddy walking taking the audience on a journey with him, as we would have to use a range of tracking shot e.g long track and close up tracking but could add elements of performance much like in Jamie T shelia video.
