Locations and Settings

Before we actually began shooting our footage for our music video we sat down as a group and discussed where we thought would provide the most adequate setting for our filming, taking into account the size of the rooms and the amenities that each setting would offer us. A big issue which arose from our original preliminary task was that we tried to make settings which were classrooms and other false areas out to be other setting such as a bedroom or living area. Here are some images of the possible locations which we have taken into account.

The first of these was Kirstin's House.

From the image you can see a simple capture of the front view of Kirstin's House. In the image we can see Eddies character standing to the side of the frame this reflects the idea that this is his house. The ideas of the story is that though behind closed doors there is this abusive relationship occurring on the outside they live in this rather expensive nice house which is a lot of the reason for why eddie has to work so much and therefore leads to his stress, alcohol and then abuse issues.

Jodi's Garden:

Both the images above are of Jodi's Garden. Due to much of the storyline been set in an indoors setting we felt that the artists pieces should be filmed more in an outdoor setting therefore we assessed of all of us whose garden was landscaped best and was most practical due to the current weather conditions. For this reason we chose Jodi's garden with its rather landscaped end with small decking area and large planted areas it provided a presentable outdoors area which still represented a homely feel. On discovering Jodi's garden i liked the aspect of using the decking as almost a stage an idea which jodi liked and added the thought of using the willow tree as a back drop to this however the weather caused this to be unattainable due to it looking less presentable than we wished and more scruffy than tidy due to the willow being wet, muggy and wintry.

These were not the only areas which we discussed we also looked at taking shots on the local common to Jodi's house we felt this was an adequate area to provide an extension to Jodi's garden. evidence of this appears in our final video.
