More Locations for Music Video

This street is of a good location near the shop "Just Add Water," and we liked the mise en scene of it because of the authentic looking street and older style buildings, which will look good for certain scenes in our music video.

This is another back street, which we liked because of the red building as it connotes passion, love and danger. We could also use this street for filming various shot while our actor is chasing our female protagonist.

We decided as a group to photograph this following street, mainly based on the colours and architect of the buildings, as we think they will stand out and look effective for the audience. Especially the yellow colour of the building above. We are also thinking about maybe including colour filters; such as blue in the music video, to signify a mood change of the single.

What really stood out to me in this photograph is the white and black old building to the side, which is perfect to use as a mise en scene for our music video, as me and my group decided that we wanted only older looking buildings and not modern ones.

This is just a photograph of the name of one of the streets we shall use to film, and we took a photo of it so we could remember the name of the street. A photo of a tunnel which is on the street is shown below.

In the photo above, we liked the way the photo has caught the light against the dark mise en scene, as again it looks like it would fir the mise en scene for a spooky music video. The shot also looks claustrophobic and you can visualize the image of masked extras crowding the ally way, which would look stunning shot in black and white, inspired by a film noir image.

The above picture is a photo of the tunnel in daylight, as we wanted an image which showed us a way in which we could use light effectively, as some of the lyrics in our song references light.

This is a photo of "Old Post Office Court," which we liked because of the tunnel at the end which has a claustrophobic feel to it, which we thought we could use when the faced masks are chasing our male protagonist, and he feels trapped as he has almost reached a dead end.

We shot this building because of the winding staircases, in which our male protagonist can run up in an attempt to run away from the masks ans chase after our female protagonist.

This is a high angle shot of the staircase, to give us an idea of the shot types we can use in our music video. For example high angle and low angle.

This a photo taken from the building with the staircase again, as we were experimenting with the variety of shots we can use in our music video, to make it not seem boring.


Both these buildings together look very authentic, and we liked the green colour of the building as it will make out music video look more interesting to watch if there are more colours involved.

This is another picture of the building, but obviously taken with more light, so we could experiment with what lighting would look best and more effective for our music video.

Overall, all these photo's show possible locations for our music video. We have so many as we are trying to include a variety of different locations so are music video will keep our adueicnes interest. We are also attempting to use locations which will make our music video contain a warped atmosphere about it, as the new theme of our music video is going to be scary, with recurring images of masks. Warped atmosphere means our group aspiring to make our msuic video contain a quirky yet sinister edge. For example, giving our music video the illusion of it not conveying normal life. We particuarly like the use of the stair case in the building above as we could use it as a mise en scene for our actor being cornered by the masks and he feels that there is no escape.
