Organisation of Location

I am currently in the stage of deciding where to shoot my music video. The band came up with an idea of using a derelict barn area where they have had photo shoots shot before. I liked this idea as it links my music video to the band personally, and as the story follows a journey, the location can almost be anything. Below are some pictures of the possible locations.



Machinery in the Barn



 

 

 

I thought that taking shots of the machinery would be a good idea as they can be used as filler shots. It also provides the audience with an idea of where the band are from shooting objects closely around them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside view of the barn

 

I thought this would be a good place to shoot Dean (one of the band members) hitting his box. When we visited first on a sunny day, the sun shone through the cracks of the barn and created a nice light. One problem we would have to consider is it is quite dark inside and the camera might not pick this up.





Small field



 

On visit to our location, we looked for surrounding areas such as fields and stretches of long road for the characters to walk along. This would then connect with the last scene which we hope will be of the barn.



Bridge

 

As this music video followed a journey, I wanted to evoke a feeling of time passing to quickly which helpfully linked in with the song. I thought it would be interesting to place the girl character on the bridge and film her standing against the traffic. At the editing stage I will increase the speed of this to make it look as if time is passing fast.
