Video Planning: Locations

Before we would be able to start filming our video, we had to plan the locations we would be using. To do this we once again sat down as a group and discussed the locations we needed for the various shots, but most importantly how far away they were. We didn't want to spend too long travelling to the locations as this would result in less time to film what we needed.

The locations we needed were:
  • Band Performance
  • Graveyard
  • Bar/Pub
  • Park
  • Exterior of house
  • Interior of house
We decided we would film all of these around Osbaldwick as it wasn't too far away from college and all of the locations we needed were available in close proximity.

Band Performance
For this part we didn't want anything too complex so chose to keep it relatively simple. Rather than have the band performing to an audience within the video, we wanted it to look as though they were performing to the viewer of the video. To do this we would be using an area of Osbaldwick Sports Club as we were allowed access to this and there was available space to set up the equipment needed.


Graveyard

Again, we will be filming this in Osbaldwick at the graveyard. We also asked permission to do this of which we were given on the terms that we told them when we would be filming so they could check we were doing what we said we would be!


Bar/Pub

This section of our video will be shot in the same location as the band scenes, Osbaldwick Sports Club though we will be using a different section of the building as obviously we need the bar in this scene whereas we didn't last time.


Park

We'll be using Osbaldwick Park to film this section as it's an open space which isn't as busy as using somewhere like a public gardens which would have people walking through all day and potentially get in the way of our filming. We would also shoot this location during school hours so it would be empty.


Exterior of house

We needed the outside of a house to film our moving in sequence in a flashback to the goodtimes the couple had. This will be filmed at one of our group member's home (Jacob Cartledge's)


Interior of house

Similarly to above, we needed the inside of a house aswell and since we were there, we used the same building. We needed to use a number of different areas within the house for what we had to film all of which were available
