Location Decisions

Bedroom

This is a significant location where most of the narrative takes place: the actress will be based in this room as the song progresses. I chose this location because it provided a very home-like tone and adds personality to the scene which is needed to help the narrative reflect the lyrics. There is a window based at the end of the room (with thick curtains) which lets in a lot of natural lighting whilst having the opportunity to block it out when necessary and the layout of the setting is an uncertainty with how it will work with the song and its narrative but my backup plan is to use another bedroom in the house with better and adjustable space.

Hallway

This location will only be used right at the end of the music video and I chose it because it fit in well with the narrative to help make it flow as one piece and can be altered easily for the benefit of the scenes. Lighting isn't a problem as I am able to open the doors which will all let in a large amount of light and can be controlled without expensive artificial lighting.

Drama Room

This location will be used for the artist's performance shots as it has stage lighting and black background that will give it a complimentary aesthetics for the performance. This part of the narrative is meant to be raw and to represent the artist's strong vocals clearly and proudly so having this stage-based location would amplify this. I've acknowledged that things may not go the way in which I want to but I will visit the room to check on how to use the equipment and to test the scene before making a final decision. If I do have to change locations, I will change it to ....

Roundwood Park

This is another significant location where another part of the narrative takes place - the main actor appears in a vintage memory montage with her closest friends that link closely with the song's lyrics. This is meant to be a very casual environment where groups of friends typically hang out together and greatly presents a more story-like tone for the video and provides that visual representation of the song's lyrics. Additionally, it compliment the vintage memory montage very well as the environment is bright and open-spaced plus allows me to play on the idea of having the camera lens represent the main actor's eyes.
