Location Scouting

It is important that the location for our music video is spot on. So we have gone into precise detail to get the correct locations.

We already know that we are going to use the college stage for the performance based side of our video. However the narrative based side is more complex. This is because we have to choose a location that is both going to look good in the video, stick to the conventions of the genre (i.e. locations seen in videos below) and within reach of all of the group members.

Here are the choices;

1. Midsummer Common, Cambridge.

Midsummer Common looks as though it could be quite good in the evening time. As we learnt from a previous project, we don't have the equipment to shoot late in the day, as most of the shot was too dark and viewers couldn't make out the action. But, Midsummer Common will be well lit as there are many street lamps. This place looks like it fits to our ideas. Its within close-range of the college and will be relatively busy with people who we can ask to be in our film (to intimidate).

2. Coleridge Park, Cambridge.


Coleridge park has the same qualities as Midsummer Common, as it would look like place that hoodies would congregate. Plus, it is just off Cherry Hinton Road, meaning it is very close to college and therefore a great place for shooting.
