Final Location Scouting for all 3 products (kierann)

Final Location Scouting for all 3  products

When it came to reshooting from rough cut one and two we filmed in the same locations each time. We ether filmed in the same spot or at a different angle. This was because we really liked the places we filmed in and thought that they all fit in with the music video. E.g. we filmed in our local town as that’s where are target audience may go once or twice a week. On the third rough cut we needed to film a couple of shots as we had removed some shots from our music video as they weren’t up to our standards. This was because the shots had the sun shining so much on the actors face that you couldn’t see him lip-syncing. For this reason we had to reshoot that scene. We considered many places in which we could film. We thought about going back to the placed in which we filmed but we felt that it was too stationary. In the end we found the back of a field in a wooded area in which we filmed that scene. In the end we scraped the idea of the two bedrooms as it looked out of place with the rest of the music video. We had filmed all of the music video outside so far so by having a shot in which was set inside would seem out of place. We stuck with the location of the park. This was because we wanted the characters relationship to seem true and a place in which couples usually go is the park. With them playing in the park it made their relationship look realistic and not fake. I believe that because of this location our points were clearly represented. We filmed the bonfire scene at the end of a field. This is because it represented our idea of mystery, which all indie music videos represent. After rough cut two, we decided to add shots of the artist in the studio performing. This was because we found in rough cut one that all of the performance shots for the artist were quite stationary which made it feel quite boring. To tackle this we added the artist in the studio, but before we did this we looked at our research of our genre to make sure that it actually made sense why we added. We found that it did as filming in a studio is one of the locations that is used in indie-pop. All of our locations are relevant to our genre as we frequently looked back our research from the start of the project. This made sure that our music video was actually being presented as an indie music video.
