Location research

Above is an image of the location we will be using to shoot one of our scene. This particular location will be used in the scene to show the protagonist reminiscing the times he had spent with his partner. The reason for using this particular location is because it is a typical scene in which a young couple would go together, which allows our product to relate to our target audience. Also this area relatively quiet, which would give us better continuity when we come to the editing stage, so a we decided this location would be best for this.

 This is the location, birds eye view, of the area we will be using to shoot the performance based section of our product, in this scene the protagonist will be playing his guitar. The reason for using this particular location, is because the area is a built up housed estate, which isn't typical in many music videos, but our genre is singer/songwriter, and we deduced that the footage in this genre isn't shot in typical locations, so we are trying to relate to the target audience by doing so. Also it is a relatively quiet location so we shouldn't be as disturbed as frequently, so we will get a better quality of footage and again the issue of continuity. 

This is the location we will be using to shoot one of our final scenes, this particular location is the home of one of the members in out group, so therefore we will not need an official permission to film here, this will also give us a better quality of footage as we shouldn't be disturbed, improving the continuity of our product. At this location, the scene will be where the two partners go their separate ways, but we felt this was an appropriate location as it felt more welcoming and a more typical setting for a young couple to relax together. 

This is wide shot of Illingworth, (instead of having the birds-eye view of the road). The reason for us using this particular location, is as you can see from the above photo this is a relatively quiet area, there are also no houses around for  small distance down the road, giving us better opportunity to gain a better quality of footage by not being disturbed as we would be on a busy road. 

We aren't completely sure at this moment in time whether or not we will need more scenes to add into our production, however we have discussed this possibility and some of the locations in this discussion consist of:

Legoland 

Long walk (Copper Horse)

The Windsor Castle

London - by the Thames

On a coastline.

The reason for choosing these particular locations is because they are more well known to the public and ultimately our target audience. By adding these scenes in we may appeal to the audience, through rewarding their cultural capital.
