Locations

Me and Jess wanted to find a location that brought a creepy atmosphere to the music video, after searching we found that in Thorpe St Andrew there is a derelict mental asylum. It was used in the 18th century and shortly closed after. We thought that if we filmed in the early evening, the lighting would add too the effect, but also the fact that it is an abandoned mental asylum will also make the audience feel uneasy. This is going with our running theme that the lead singer is mentally unstable. With the windows boredered up it instantly hints that no one wants to go into this place. We are going to have a few shots of the girl standing against the wall with the camera zooming out slowly to show the audience the whole picture.

This location in Anglia square is perfect to film some of our lead singer. He will be isolated in this vast area, with the background being quite dim and dingy. This will emphasise too the audience that he is alone. In contrast to the shots of the band members all together in the warm cosy pub. The lighting will also be very different in the two shots. This one will be dark and uninviting; whereas the shot in the pub will have warm shades. (e.g. yellows)

The second shot will be the band performing together outside. Relatively in the same place, yet the area will be less isolated. The reason I wanted to shoot this here, was so that the band members are higher up, looking down at the housing. Showing that they are rising above everyone else.

The Rock Genre holds a more urban feel to it. It rose from the streets and was found in less popular places. The fact that they didnt want to be associated with the mainstream population highlighted that they would be performing in cheap pubs and rundown places which is why I have chosen to have the band performing in this location.
