Locations for our Video

There are quite a few locations that we need to go to to film the different parts of our music video. We want to have a kind of fun 'boys on tour' aspect to our video so want to film our cast just doing what a band would do if there were in London waiting until they have to play their gig. Although some of the shots that we shoot in London will be based around this idea, we also want some serious images that establish the band as legitimate. We plan to go to:

The Millenium Bridge - we have chosen to do some shots here because it is a very recognisable location and we think that it would look good on a winter evening. We plan to have the boys standing in the middle of the bridge and we will film it for about 5-10 minutes then in editing we will speed it up so that the boys are standing still but people are blurring as they walk along beside them.

Brick Lane - we have chosen to shoot in Brick Lane aswell because the surroundings and feeling of it generally fit the genre and target audience that we are aiming our video at. Brick Lane has been established as an 'Indie' locations because of the amount of vintage shops that are there, as well as this, the famous record label 'Rough Trade' has a store there which we think establishes Brick Lane as a place that musicians would be interested to visit

Charing Cross - underneath Charing Cross station there is a tunnel that leads to southbank, a lot of busking happens in this tunnel and we think the brick setting would be good to film some of our video in, because there are a few shops along this are this is kind of where we want to get our tour video type effect with the boys just laughing and looking around London. This is also a convenient location for us because its really close to Southbank and the bridge that we want to film on so it will be quick and easy to get some shots here

Pub Hall - to film the performance side of our video we are going to a hall that has a stage, we are going to put the boys on the stage with instruments and film them as though they are performing to a crowd, this is also where the opening part of our video is going to be set; we are going to film the boys setting up their instruments then speed it up and perhaps put it in black and white for the opening instrumental of the song. This adds to the authenticity of the video because it establishes them as an independent band.
