LOCATIONSCOUTING

WHITE SCREEN STUDIOTHE STUDO WILL ASLSO BE USED FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE

BAND, OR REHERSAL PERFORMANCE TO GIVE A SENSE OF BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE. WE PLAN TO ENCORPORATE THIS LOCATION INTO OUR NARRATIVE OF THE MUSIC VIDEO. WHEN IT COMES TO LIGHTING THE AIM IS TO HAVE DIFFERENT COLOURED LIGHTS SHINING ONTO THE WHITE BACKDROP OR ALTERNATIVLEY WE MAY CHANGE THE LIGHTING SO THAT THE BACK DROP APPEARS DARKER IN ORDER TO CREATE A NIGHT SKY EFEFCT. THE BAND WILL START THE MUSIC VIDEO IN THE LOCATION, IT WILL BEGIN WITH THEM ENETERING TOGETHER (THROUGH THE LINKING DOOR) COLECTING THEIR INSTURMENTS WHICH ARE ALREADY LAID OUT FOR THEM. THEY WILL THEN PROCEED TO PERFORM THE SONG, THE STUDIO FILIMING TIME WILL CONSIST OF AROUND 1 MINUTE OF THE WHOLE MUSIC VIDEO. THE STUDIO FACILTY WE WILL BE USING IS LOCATED IN THE COLLEGE.

REMOTE GARAGE

WE WILL BE USING THE GARAGE AS THE LOCATION FOR OUR BANDS LIVE PERFORMANCE SCENE. THE GOAL IS TO DECORATE THIE INTERIOR OF THE GARAGE WITH FAIRY LIGHTS. WE PLAN TO LIGHT THE GARAGE WITH STUDIO LIGHTS IF WE ARE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THESE, HOWEVER IF NOT WE HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION OF USING CAR HEADLIGHTS IF ITS NECESSARY. WE AIM TO HAVE BLUE/WHITE LIGHTING TO REPRESENT THE MOONLIGHT IN ORDER TO MAKE A MATCH WITH THE LYRICS OF THE SONG. THE PATIO AREA OUTSIDE THE GARAGE MAY BE USED FOR SOME DANCE PERFORMANCE BY EXTRAS IN ORDER TO CREATE MORE ACTION, OR IT MAY JUST SIMPLY BE PEOPLE WITH SPARKLERS, THE AIM OF THIS WOULD BE TO BARELY SEE THE PEOPLE USING THWEM HOWEVER THE SPARKLERS STANDING OUT, THIS MAY INCLUDE SPELLING OUT LYRICS FROM THE SONG, IF THIS IS DO-ABLE, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TRIALED FIRST. THE GARAGE WILL BE SET UP AS A LOW KEY ENVIRONMENT, TO BE A MORE RELAXED PLACED FOR THE BAND TO PERFORM INFRONT OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS. IT REINFORCES THE AIM OF THE ALBUM BEING BASED ON THEIR LOST MEMBER, SO IT SHOWS WHAT THE BAND WAS LIKE BEFORE FAME, WHERE IT WAS BASED ON THEIR LOVE FOR MUSIC AND IN A GOOD SOCIAL ENVIROMENT.  

FAMILY LIVING ROOMWE DECIDED FOR ONE OF OUR SCENES TO BE IN A FAMILY

LIVING ROOM, AS THE SONG IS BASED ON A HAPPY PLACE/LIFE, AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT HAPPY PLACES, WE DECIDED FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE A FAMILY ENIRORNEMENT CAN CREATE A LOT OF HAPPINESS AND THE HEART OF THE HOUSE IS THE LIVING ROOM. IT IS A VERY NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND ITS EASY TO GAIN ACSESS WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE ACTOR WILL ENTER THROUGH THE LINKING DOOR AND JOIN HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN THE ROOM. FOLLOWING ON FROM THIS THE ACTORS WILL THEN ENGAGE IN TYPICAL FAMILY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SITTING WATCHING TELEVISION OR LOOKING THROUGH OLD FAMILY PHOTOS.

RESTRAUNT/BAR

WE WILL BE USING THIS LOCATION TO SHOW ‘HAPPY TIMES’, WHICH IN THIS CASE WILL BE A MEAL WITH FRIENDS. WE WILL NOT BE ADAPTING THE LAYOUT OF THE RESTAURANT AS IT MAY BE DIFFICULT DUE TO GAINING PERMISSIONS AND OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THE RESTAURANT. HOWEVER WE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT IS ON OFFER, WE PLAN TOO USE A BOOTH TABLE, IN ORDER TO CREATE A CLOSE PROXIMITY BETWEEN THE ACTORS IN ORDER TO EMPHASISE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SHOWING THAT THEY ARE HAPPY. FOR LIGHTING EFFECTS, THIS IS LIKELY TO BE DELT WITH THE MOST IN THE EDITING STAGE DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES AS I COULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET APPROPIRATE LIGHTING IN THE RESTAURANT. THE LOW KEY LIGHTING CAN SET THE RESTRAUNT TONE OF BEING INTENSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FRIENDS REPRESENTING THEIR CLOSENESS. WE WILL TRY USE THE RESTRAUNT FACILITIES ON AN EVENING AND ON A DAY WHERE IT MAY BE A BIT BUSIER TO GIVE OFF A MORE LIVELY ATMOSPHERE, HOWEVER WE WILL AVOID FILMING ON THE BUSIEST TIME SO WE AREN’T IN THE WAY OF THEIR SERVICE.

LINKING LOACATI

ONSEACH SCENE IS LINKED THROUGH A DOOR, SO WHEN AN ACTOR OR SINGER LEAVES THROUGH ONE DOOR IT WILL CUT TO THEM ENTERING ANOTHER, SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING STRAIGHT INTO THAT ROOM. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO DO THIS AS IT CREATES AN ELEMENT OF CONTINUITY AND MAKES THE CUTS FROM SHOT TO SHOT LOOK MORE GENUINE.
