Possible Locations

Me and my group have been discussing possible locations for our music video. One of our idea's so far is Norwich Train Station which is where we decided we could use as our ending scene, where the man finally finds the woman yet she is running away on a train without him, leaving the music video as a cliff hanger. The reasoning for choosing Norwich Train Station is that we think it looks authentic and the actual building is very attractive. In black and white the building would look impressive, and once inside Norwich Train Station and through the barriers, the building continues to look authentic, therefore an idea would be that the girl could run away on the train and we could film the train going away. The train is also a location which is often portrayed in certain music videos and films, as it's a good setting to use for a love story which ends in tragedy.

So far, our main idea of filming locations is using Elm Hill, as we feel it is an idea location to use for the man chasing the woman. Especially as Elm Hill contains an authentic feel, perfect for Film Noir inspired music video. Below is a picture of Elm Hill to show the location of our film:

A particular feature of Elm Hill which stood out to us as a key location is the cobbled streets, which is perfect for our music video, and the buildings look older which would look stylish in black and white. The buildings also look very British, which is obviously a key element for our music video. We are thinking of using Elm Street for the man looking for the women, and we will use a range of shots to film him, such as pan, track and close ups. However the shots we will use shall be planned fully and displayed in our storyboards.
