LOCATION SCOUTING

As a group, we had a discussion on which locations would be best suited to our genre of music, and where would be most

accessible to the whole of our group (including extra actors). We concluded that a club in York would be ideal to shoot the ‘party’ scenes for our music video. We came up with a list of possible locations, and began emailing and phoning them to

request time to use their property to film:

LOCATION CHOICES

Pop world York – unfortunately Pop world did not get back to us in time, therefor we could not use this

location. This would have been a good location because It fit into our genre of music, and the lighting/decorating is typically girly.

POPWORLD

Kuda York – Kuda would have been an ideal location for our pop video. The grand stair case, dance floor and

lighting would have made our video look high budget, perfect to represent the genre and artists we had

chosen. However, after contacting Kuda, they charged a substantial amount over our budget that we were

willing to spend, so we could not use this venue.

Fibbers York – At first, Fibbers seemed more suitable for a Rock/Indie genre of music. However, it was a free

location and they had given us their permission to use the location in our video. When arriving at our location,

we were able to use spotlight lighting, bright gold lights, and pink, purple and blue lights that really fitted

with our theme. This venue made our video look professional and appropriate with the lighting, bar and

stage being available to us.

LOCATION PERMISSION

To be able to show footage of our chosen locations in our videos, we had to obtain

permission from the owners. To do this, we had them sign a release form stating that we

had their permission to feature their property in our music video. Here is an example of

the permission form, completed for the ‘office’ location in our

video.

Before filming, we created a mid map of the types of props and costumes we wanted our actors to use. This included details on our locations, narrative and genre.

PROPS, COSTUMES AND SETTING

Finally, to make sure we were fully prepared when arriving at our location, we created a shooting

schedule that set out what parts of our story board we would film at what time.
