Location

We have decided that we are going to have our music video set in our school as this also fits into the story behind our lyrics. Some shots will be filmed outside where there are overgrown plants and some steps. This is because in the chorus of our track, our main character goes to escape from everything by sitting in an abandoned area of the school grounds. Other parts of the video will be shot in the school corridors, the school toilets as they have a large mirror, and in the school courtyard. The bridging music where our individual is running, we are going to set this in the sports fields at the back of the school.

These are some photos of our shot locations.

We took a photo of this because we originally wanted to use this as the location where our girl walks along, as it is a long simple walkway but we then thought the lighting is too dark. We also liked the courtyard location so we may slot this into a shot we think appropriate.


This shot is looking through the window into the courtyard (voyeurism). This could be used for the scene when the girl is watching groups of people socialising outside and we see her sense of loneliness. We feel this is a good shot and location to use because it is open and the window shows the whole area clearly and with enough light.


The bathroom mirror shots will all be shot in this location, the sixth form toilets. This is because we know it a spacious area so we can shoot from different angles, and it has two large mirrors. We have drawn our opening shots from different angles so we have taken photos of roughly how they will look.



This is our first shot in our music video.

We decided for the shots with our girl walking down the corridor we would use this location. It is wide so we can get a good shot of the girl and she will stand out because of the emptiness. Also it looks like a typical school corridor so will create the right setting for the story.




This is the outside area we found to shoot our chorus. We are also going to use it for the bridging music where our character is running with a sense of feeling and looking lost. We were originally going to use the school sports fields but we decided this was more suitable for our music video. We felt the log looked a nice place for our character to sit and write her diary on and the setting seems quite peaceful so thinking in the characters situation we felt this was the best location.
