Final Location Scouting for all 3 products(Gabrielle Chambers)

We will be looking into possible locations that we will be able to use for all of our three different products. We will also be looking into why these locations will be effective and how they all link together.

Music Video

In our music video, we will be using multiple locations and will then be using different locations inside that locations. For example, we filmed in Hylands park and then we filmed in the different areas of Hylands; The woodlands, The house, The park and more. This widened our locations which allowed our music video to look more realistic, we know this because during our research and planning when we looked at what music videos contained we found out they used a lot of locations. Therefore we decided it would be good if we followed this aspect.

Our main location was Rollerskating. We decided to use the rollerskating rink because it was a fun location and this allowed us to show our audience their friendship through these scenes which is one of the ways we wanted our narrative to be shown. Also with this location, we had to phone up Sk8aters to hire out the roller rink before it opened. This was due to their policy as we would not be able to film whilst there were other people using the facility. This worked out well as we wouldn't be in anyone way.

We also went outside the Sk8aters and went out to Maldon promenade and the golf club. This also allowed us to add aspects of friendships with the park and the memories of the golf club.

We also used a lot of park and woodland settings as when we were doing some research into our genre we noticed that our song had some indie pop aspects to it. Therefore when we researched into this genre we noticed that a lot of indie pop music videos involve these settings so, therefore, we decided to use this to help show this genre.

We also used Jenny's bedroom for the dolls house scene and we use this room as a reference to their childhood with the final scenes where the connections are made. This also provided the homely nature that the music video was looking for.

Another location we used was the recording studio and we were not planning on using this location as all of our performances aspects where going to be in Ellie's shed but during our first lot of feedback it was pointed out that the recording studio would allow a professional aspect to be added to our music video.











Digipack

With the digipack we didn't use as many locations as the music video, however, we did use more locations than on the magazine advert. This was due to the fact that we needed 6 images on the digipack to fill up all the sides.

For the locations we used;

• Woodlands - Broomfield
• Woodlands - Chelmsford
• Jenny's Bedroom

Here are the photos from the digipack showing the locations;

Magazine Advert
With the magazine advert, we only used one main location and this was the woodlands as we only used 2 photos one from the woodlands and one was of the dolls house in Jenny's bedroom although after we have edited this you cannot really see the locations so, therefore, we didn't really use this.
