Location Plans

We chose to use our school's professional studio to shoot the majority of our performance shots. We chose the studio as this would allow us to really increase the quality and standard of the music video by using the backdrops and lighting to create that 'professional look' that we wanted, and that is in, of course, professional existing music videos. We also chose this as it would always remain a reliable source. It would always be available to us and factors of it wouldn't change as say the weather would if we chose to shoot outside.

We chose to shoot our narrative shots within the school grounds. By doing this we would be able to reflect the 'theme' of the song. Our song is 'Teenage Dream' and it tells the story of 'young' love, 'first love' and 'teenage love'. The sense of it being teenagers gave us a really easy way to reflect by having shots of our actors, or our 'couple' together on the school grounds. We also chose this as it would be a perfect way for me and my partner to easily film as we are at school every day and can therefore always find time to be at our location frequently.

We used the sofas within the school to do some two shots of the artist Jess and our actor Luke. We felt these would be some easy ways to capture some moments of the two together in a school setting or a sixth form setting.

We also used some school objects to perform pans around for different points of the video to set the scene.
