Location

Throughout our video we will need to use a few different locations. These are; The girls house (House 1), the house we use to play in (House 2) and a track/open field that we will walk through to get to House 2.
House 1
The main character in our video is the girl that runs away from home because of her over-protective parents. It is very important that we use location well in order to create the right impression for the viewer. The over-protective attitude gives me the impression that the family would live in a very urban area in a new house with calm, safe surroundings with a lot of families living nearby. Like this small housing estate.

 

House 2

Our story revolves around a girl running away from home and hearing music playing from an old abandoned house or warehouse. However, it is more the setting that limits our choice for house 2 as it needs to be accessible from an open field or track. Something like this would be ideal:

Track/Field

Part of our video involves both the band and the girl walking down an open track or field. This was influenced by a video by a band called 'Architects'. The shot shown below left is the shot that particularly influenced us and is one that we will try to re create in our video. The picture on the right shows a track that is close to where James lives and is the sort of thing that we think will be looking to find.
