Location - By Matt

Location has a huge influence on music video can completely separate differences between high and low quality videos. Therefore it was key for us to try and find the best places t film the narrative and performance.

Narrative

The narrative is made up of numerous locations and scenes. As we trying the capture the idea of youth and having fun we wanted to have different groups of people and friends enjoying themselves in relatable places, adding a sense of realism to the piece. This means however that each individual segment will have to filmed on a separate day and overall filming and production may take loger purely due to travelling etc. 

Field walkthrough from Crazydodobird 

First play i went to was a filed which is local to our area. This is just one of many fields some are very open similar to this and some are slightly different. This is the area which we were planning on using for a group with the balloons like in the foals video.

Filming - By Luke

The pictures shows the problems that we encountered well as in the first clip you can see someone in the background which ruins the entire shot. However probably the most prominent problem that we had to overcome was the terrain with the uneven ground making it hard to get clear and steady shots. This lead us to try and make a steady cam out of pipes bought from B&Q which you can see in the second picture to the left. This was not that effective at first but after some adjustments it proved to be useful and helped us with some of the shots especially with the Go Pro camera. In the first picture you can see the way the sunset makes a good effect on the scene in the way the light comes through the trees.      

We each took it in turns to film but we all had a say in what shot we thought was best at the time. When we had a selection of clips we then could decide what looked best and what would fit in with what we already had. The benefit of having 4 people in the group is there are lots of ideas and angles available so we never really get stuck with what to do next.

In the woods we filmed some of the cross fades of the nature shots. Such as the raindrop on the leaf etc. We also got the actress to do her solo wandering through the woods listening to the song we have chosen for the video. We also got her to walk over a fallen tree as a possible idea - just encase we thought it looked suitable. Therefore we have other ideas to fall back onto if our initial plans do not turn out how we would like them to.
