Location Reccies

Barley Lane Mental Health Hospital - my partner and I have decided to film outside the Barley Lane mental health hospital, as it connects to the storyline of our music video. In order for us to show our audience our main character/actress's role, we have made her come out from this place, showing how she has escaped from this place. We decided to film in this particular location as presented on a sign board, it says 'Psychological Services', this will enable us to unveil to the audience that we have explored and presented our music video to be as realistic as mentioned, and how we wanted to portray our story line through the music video.

 

Chadwell Heath High Road/Side Roads - me and my partner have decided to film around this area as we wanted to show our main actress be as crazy as possible by having her walking down streets acting strange, and how she is different from everyone else. We decided this location would be suitable as it's usually not as busy which is a bonus as we won't be interrupted by cars and people, and we won't be in their way either. We have also chosen side roads which are quiet and spacious as this will allow us to film comfortably and freely as much as we want because it's a designated area.

London Bridge and Train Station - my partner and I have decided to film on the London Bridge, or, and around the location as we thought it was be a nice scenery to use for a romantic/date relationship feel. We have also decided that this location will be appealing to the audience, and to show how we have gone out of our way to film in different locations and so we thought London would be a great way to show that. On our train journey there, we have decided that we will film a scene on the train to show the journey of the couple and how they spend their time together. This is a positive for us as we can film at two different locations on the same day and it won't be a burden on us.

Green Screen - me and my partner have decided to use green screen of the inside of a mental health home for the chorus parts. This will be shot as the performance scene of our music video, and how we show the portrayal of our character through our main actress. We will have her lip-syncing throughout the performance scenes, and put on view of how she behaves abnormally.

 

Ellie's House - my partner and I have chosen Ellie's house as the location for the house scenes. We have chosen Ellie's house as it's accessible for us all, and our cast are also aware of where Ellie's house is and how to get there. We have also got permission from Ellie's mum to film around the house so she is comfortable and aware of what we are doing. We will be using the hallway for when she comes in, stairs for when she goes up/down them, Ellie's bedroom as our main actress's bedroom, and the bathroom for when she burns the image, and also a box room for the scenes where Bilal will be held captured.
