The locations for the music video and camera shots.

I have several ideas in which where I will shoot my music video. My initial idea will be use of open and outdoor areas, to show an isolation for my artist. This may consist of an open field with a city or rolling hills in the background. This will require a wide/long shot and an establishing shot to show my audience where the specific section of the song- The chorus will take place. Of course I will shoot in this location several times to show a change in emotion so that the audience can see a change in attitude in which I hope will grip them to watching the video.

I feel that this location can show seclusion and loneliness, which is what I want to focus on as the performer has lost his popularity - for only the Chorus, but maybe for short cuts in between specific sections. it does give that desired effect. - The location for this will be Holmgate park, located near to Clay Cross.



Another location in which I am considering shooting a sequence of the music video will be in a large, indoor area. This will host the scene where the performer has gone to gamble, but ends up losing. This will be the start of the video where he (The performer) enters to a table with other people (secondary characters) will be sat, with cards on the table. For this I shall consider using a limited amount of lighting, to give it a dark to make it look like a stereotypical 80's film gambling scene. The camera shot involved will consist of close up ( For emotional use), long shots (to show the table and the other people around the table) and a panning shot ( When he enters and leaves). I may use the school dance room in the PE department as it has an open space and can have the desire to give an effect. This however is dependent on availability.


I will also shoot in other locations. These scenes will occupy little parts of the video to show the journey. The cuts required for these will be simple cuts as these show a shortened journey for the performer.  Places such as on a pavement will be used to show a developing journey after the poker scene and throughout the video.
