Locations

Olly and Nathan went to the locations that we were thinking of using for our groups music video and scouted them out and took photos of certain framings; mostly of the long shots that would be used.

Low Angle Tilt Up Shot - Location: Graffiti Wall

The picture shows how we plan to use the stairs at the wall to our advantage of creating a shot that is different to the general midshots and longshots that we would continually fall back on.


(NOT) Shooting against the Graffiti Wall

We decided after looking at the location that shooting against the graffiti wall wasn't the feel that we wanted in our video, maybe if it was covered in block colours or more artistic graffiti then it would be different but this "chavy street" look doesn't fit our video in our mind.


Shooting in a grassier area, a Longshot from a High Angle

This type of location really filled the frame but you can see the concrete space in the centre which would be useful as an easy space for the band to stand and do their performance.

 (NOT) Shooting inside abandoned building

 We decided that firstly this shooting location would not be worth the work when we could easily shoot somewhere else and that to be able to shoot inside we would need some lighting and a generator and working with a strict shooting schedule this could be hard to work with.

Shooting longshots around this cabin, as well as other shots closer and within

 This area has some interesting scenery to play with within the composition of the frame, also if we shot at this time again (sunset) I thought the lens flare could be used interestingly.

Shooting walking sequence down a road

I just like the symmetry that can sometimes be found down a road, of the nice framing that can be seen. We also thought of doing these shots down one the other avenues nearby...

As you can se this length of the road vastly improves the shot, giving that real sense of depth and as seen on the photo of the map we have six different avenues to choose from on the day that we shoot this location, so we can find the one least filled up with cars.

 Longshot of group walking across field (red smoke)

 

This field with the lighter ground compared to the green hedgerows and trees and blue sky makes for a nice three colour spread across the frame and picture (even though the colour was going by this time, this shot at Golden Hour would be fantastic).
