Locations to Film

I have researched locations or 'reccies' that we can use in our music video. I have some ideas inspired from the original music video such as London:
         



Big Ben, shown here is a key location in the original video, along with the houses of parliament, it symbolises government, Britain and the key themes of the song. We will possibly travel to London and get some shots of us with Big Ben and other London landmarks in the background. Another possibility would be to film in Oxford:



Oxford is our local city and by filming it, it would bring our own heritage into the video. Here I have two long shots showing some of Oxford's classic architecture. Filming in Oxford would make the video more personal and individual to us but there is debate how our target audience will take it, possibly they will want to see locations the whole nation recognises and can relate too, but they also might be interested by a different part of the world and to see where we grew up.

Where ever we film our external shots, we will still need an office for internal shooting. As in the original video, the office space will be used to film contrasting scenarios to show both a work space and a wilder party. This is used to comical effect as it takes offices out of the norm. We have many accessible offices spaces we can use including at school, and local businesses.

Heres a selections of photos I took at school for our office enviroment:

 This is an ICT room we might film with a panning, establishing shot. This will possibly be out main 'office'.

 Close-up of the board at the front of the room. This will be seen during establishing shots and in the backgrouund.

Over the Shoulder shot. This is an example for shots we will use during the establishing scenes of our video. We will be using extras to play the office workers in our video.
