Locations

Whilst creating our music video we have tried to use a variety of locations in order to make the video appear as visually interesting as possible. As well as this, after researching into professional music videos it is often the case that the video features more than one location. Therefore as a group we wanted this convention to be represented in our work.

One of the first locations that we used whilst shooting our music video was a wooded area. We decided to use this area because the trees in the background create the cold image that we want our audience to feel when watching this music video. It is particularly helpful that we shot our music video during the winter months as the trees are bare, therefore they are symbolic of the artists feelings.

Another location that we used for our music video was a this isolated location that was located next to a castle. We decided to use this location because the brick is featured on all three walls. I think that this was a good location for some of our filming, this is because it is not a typical wall as it looks old and slightly abandoned. Therefore it fits in with the overall image that we are trying to create throughout the video. 

Next, we also decided to use the staging within our school which features a plain black wall, which I have mentioned in a previous blog post. I think that this location was ideal for the shots we wanted to create. This is because as you can see above, we wanted the focus to be on the artist and her movements, therefore we didnt want any distraction in the background. I am very pleased with the overall look of these shots, although the location isn't particularly interesting I think it creates a very interesting visual effect. 

Overall, I am very pleased with the locations that we have used for our music video. We have not tried to over complicate the video by using too many locations, I think that we have used the right amount in order to make it appear interesting and keep our audience watching.
