Location Ideas

1. A house - We needed a house where "the married couple" would be living.
                              - We decided to use Jodies house for the interior because it is a bungalow      where the kitchen, lounge and other rooms are in a great persision when it comes into filming. It is also easy for us all to access, local to other locations we are considering.
                              - We will then use Jades house for the exterior shots because it is also a bungalow so it will link together. As Jade's house is postioned on a road, it would made it easier and more realistic for the 'leaving' scene. Jodie's house is on a site so would be harder to film. We cant film the interior shots at Jades because it doesnt have such a good layout when it actually comes to filming- not as reliable.


2. A public house (club)- back hall- Luckily for us, we have connections in the group for using a pub as a possible location. The Old Windsor Club, a committee run membership club, is much like your average pub, with a bar and back hall used for parties and functions- part of which has a stage. This location gives us great opportunity for combining narrative & performance, which is something that occurs in many of the music videos we've looked into. We were allowed permission to film in this location with no problems, so this made a highly likely chance we use it in some way. As for the location linking to our narrative, we decided to base it around the pub- so the husband being an alcoholic and 'drowning his sorrows', as an escape from his wife. We would work on the details later on.

3. Road/ fields - We want to capture the journey of a wife walking out on her husband- needing a location for 'walking away' shots. We have decided upon the road outside Jades house, as we briefly mentioned before, to link with having the house in the background.


                            - We also would like to try using a field for some shots. There is a good field, nearby to our school, which we feel would best suit the walking away scene. Using this location would almost emphasize the feeling of loneliness and the wide open space to symbolise her wide open choices for the future.

- We considered using the alleyway next to school- mainly as it was easy access for us all. But when testing it out, we found it was much to busy with the public and just its general look didn't fit our vision of the video. It has grafitti on parts of the walls that seems unavoidable and even when it is sunny weather- the trees block out the light and not exactly what we want while filming.
