Analysis of Locations

For the locations of my video I decided to use a big modern house, a garden, the beach, a graveyard and the woods to film my footage. As lighting is an extremely important feature to the video, I needed to choose locations carefully so that my lighting needs were met.

House


I chose to use this house as one of the locations as it was big inside. The space then enabled us to film many shots from different angles instead of being in a cramped space. It also had a piano so this was extremely helpful for the important opening shot of the video. This location is important as it shows the main characters house. By having her playing the piano in the house, this is important also as it shows her being herself yet being a musical artist. This feature is important to include in the video as it will interest the target audience.


Garden



When shooting in the location of the garden the lighting was grey as it was cloudy at the time. This was perfect as the lighting enhanced the emotion of what was being filmed as I had to act sad to match with the lyrics of the song.

Woods


When filming in the woods it was grey but the sun was shining. This was a great effect as, at times the sun was shining through the trees and created a sun beam effect on the shot being filmed. The location of the woods was important as it follows through with the folliage theme that runs throughout the storyboard. This also an important locations for the characters point of view as this is where she goes to think things through alone. This location also made the miming shots more interesting as the background of the trees was different from the other miming shots. The trees also created a feeling of enclosure which match well with the character and the song.

Beach



This was a perfect location for my video. Even though the tide was very far out it didn't effect any filming. The light was perfect as the sky was a mix of clouds and pure blue sky. This made the shots look professional. It also enhances the emotion of the character as the bright blue sky shows that she is happy as she is on the beach with her love.

Grave Yard


This was also a perfect location as I managed to use a grave that wasn't surrounded by many other graves, which made a more secluded effect on the video. It was also a dull day which was perfect as it matched with the sad emotion that was needed for the shot.
