Location shots

Introduction

These are images of all the different locations that I will be using in my production and all the reasons for their use. I believe that the best possible locations have been selected for use in my production and that they will lead to a well developed elements of Mise-en-scene in the setting of my music video.

This is a picture of the bedroom I will be using for the initial shots of the music video. This room is good as it is spacious and fairly simple, which makes it easily adaptable to my purposes.

 

This is the staircase that I will be using for the running down the stairs shot. It is a good staircase to use, mainly because it is in my house and therefore easily accessible but also as it shares the bedrooms décor. Additionally it is the right amount of steps which will match up with the number of beats in the bars this shot should cover.

This running track is perfect for the purposes I require it for and is very well positioned as right next to the track I have access to a podium which is stored in a shed. This is important as this podium is very heavy, which means a close proximity to its storage is very useful.

This is the area that will be used for the closing scenes of the music video. The reason that this is effective is that it is fairly run down which will add to the fairly everyday characters of the clowns. As well as this there is a light (Image of it shown below) which will allow better light for the night time shots that will feature in the end of the video when Mr Night arrives.

This is the front door that will feature in the very first shot of the music video. This is a good place to shoot this shot, apart from the basket which will be moved, as it is a fairly interesting and bright style of door which will help develop Mr Blue Sky's character, which is also bright, as this is his house. 

This is the setting of the shot with the clowns dancing. This is a good place to film this shot as it is an open area but also because this shot, which include the road, shows how Mr Blue Sky has accidentally ran into these clowns, which develops the fact that Mr Blue Sky rarely leaves his home, which develops the narrative.

 

This is the setting of a shot with a lyrical and visual match of 'running down the avenue' and the fact that the actor for Mr Blue will run from the alleyway.

Finally this is the setting of the mid point of the shoot which features both the place that I filmed the section with a black curtain background as well as where I filmed the green screen section for my guitar solo. This was the optimum place to film this as the black curtains are stored close by, as well as the green screen and the open area allows for very convenient use of these things.
