Location Scouting Sheet

Google Maps.

Firstly, the images above shows one of the many locations which we will use within our music video. We chose this location due to the field being near a river, which will be needed for the male to throw the ring in. Also, the field being a large area, therefore it will be easy to film as well as not interfering the locals whilst filming as it has such an open space. The field is a key location for our filming due to using the bridge for the main character to walk across, to help emphasise his emotions of being heartbroken. It will also be used for the flashbacks of the male and his loved one.
However, if it's windy, the sound can disrupt our audio. Also, if it's raining, it can cause a hazard due to mud as well as the equipment getting wet and not able to work properly, therefore we will use the weather forecast to guide us into which days will be most suitable to film. If not, we will bring suitable gear such as rain jackets, welly-boots and umbrellas to help shelter the camera crew and equipment whilst filming, and making sure that no cables are needed incase of any tripping.

Furthermore, the image above is another location which will be used in our music video for when the man back away from the graveyard and in anger, kicks the wall. Also, this location will be used for flashbacks of the man and his loved one walking down the street. However, we will need to be careful about interfering with the locals due to a bus stop being there, as well as passing cars which cause lots of sound, which may get in the way of our audio. In addition, passing locals may get in the way of the filming process due to the pathways being narrow, therefore we will choose a suitable time of day to film the video without causing conflict.



In addition, the image above is the third location of our music video. This is because this is where the scenes with the man and his guitar will be based. This location is important to the main character as it's his place of safety and where he feels comfortable, as well as isolating himself away from the public.


Transport links: Bus, Car, Taxi.

The images above show another location which we were thinking of filming our music video, however, my group and I chose not to film here due to this location being vandalised and therefore anaesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also, we did not feel that the area was suitable to film the romance narrative due to the skate park and the litter around the field. The other location has a clean field with a bridge and river, which is a key part of our music video because the scene of the man throwing the ring into the river will be used. Also, the other location has more vegetation surrounding it and less infrastructure, therefore we will not get many local people intruding in our filming process.
