Location Scouting- 23/09/09



























This is a prime location for my music video, with so much opportunity for a range of shots, an example being high angle shots from the bridge or long shots up the hill from the darkness of the underpass. It also adds that edgey, mysterious feeling walking into the darkness, and there also is a suprise when they reach the underpass, as the tunnel is full of amazing street art which link directly to the stereotypical punk scene, for example in the music video by The Prodigy "Take me to the Hospital" .























The graffiti theme feature throughout, but this is the point were we first see it the the video. This is a key signifier for the music video as it represents rebellious attitudes, and popular culture, the audience will be interested in the underground theme, and it also links to the Indie record label- unsigned bands being unproffesional, risk-taking and individual.





This is a shot from inside a car, again I would use it as an onlookers point of view going past at a normal speed (30 mph) then slowing down and maybe reversing to take a closer look at the group, observing there strange behaviour .















This is a good location to shot from at the end of this road, the still shot looking down the hill, shows a brilliant vantage shot looking across norwich into the direction that the group are going to take. Also the end of this road opens up into a T-junction with plenty of opportunity for a range of shots, i also know a few friends that live around this area, so I able to use their houses to get high angle shots from second floor windows like the house oppostite on the road.























the various shots above are the first roads that the main guy from the music video walks down this is a shot from the start of the video. This location was selected as the road is in a relatively quiet and has alot of access, also as you can see from 3 shots above, the window photopraghed is that of my friends, and is one of the locations i was going to use, for a shot from inside the house looking onto the street.

  1. Your evaluation of the location shots is greatly improved with references to popular culture and research into similar bands.

    I'd suggest Level 3 here. Well done Jakob.
