Location Ideas

Now we knew who we were using for our actors, we needed to think about where we were going to set the scenes. We are planning on using a variety of locations to represent the past and the present situations in our story. We don't want viewers to get the impression the video is based around one day, and this is what would likely happen if we were to choose just one location. We ae planning on using an area with nice scenery and surroundings for some of our shots involving our video story. Ideas we had for this were;

• A local field, located near our sixthform; This particular field is fairly large and has nice woodland scenery so we feel this would be a good place to film some of our shots for our story.
• Hamstead Heath, Parliment Hill; This settings has beautiful views and surroundings so we feel this again would look good in our video. Here we are planning to film our story also. This field is also large so we can do a lot with it and use this at our advantage.
• Tellytubby Hill; We considered videoing here as this is a nice greenery area. However, the hill is fairly small and is located next to some houses so we felt this wouldn't look as effective in our video.

We are planning on filming our boy actor on 'dates' in the past with his ex girlfriend and in the future with his new girlfriend. Again for these we want a nice setting with good surroundings. We have decided we are going to travel into london and film in the streets near Hamstead heath. We felt this would help us time wise as we would not have to travel far to reach Parliament hill to film our other shots. Also the streets there are fairly quiet so we would not have the issue of filming a busy street filled with people.

We are also planning to use a cafe to film our actors on dates. A cafe we will use will be one located in the town centre as this will be easy for us to reach as it is not located far from our sixthform. This is also somewhere that all of our actors can reach easily.

As well as our story shots, we also needed to think about where we were going to film our band shots. Our research of You me at six's other tracks showed us that their band shots are filmed in small hall like settings. This idea we liked so we have decided wer are going to film the band shots in our school hall on the stage. This will allow us to film the band performing with their instruments. If we were to have filmed the band outside this could have been very difficult as we may not have been able to use some of the instruments.
