Location Shots

I have taken photos of the locations I have chosen to shoot my music video in. All of these, I believe, convey the folk/rock genre well as they are all located outside and either have an old feel to them or are in open spaces which is a conventional location for music videos of the genre.

Old Town:

Cobble Street

Problem with location: the 'To Let Signs'

This would be a more suited street to shoot the video in as there aren't any unwanted objects and things I cannot move. The street is still cobbled and you can see the old buildings to the left, reflecting the old-like style of the genre.

Queens Gardens:

In Queen's Gardens, there is a lot more open, green, space. I chose this location because open space is conventional in a music video of the indie genre but I didn't want a location that looked derelict. The greenary of Queen's Gardens makes it look a lot more appealing to use.

River Bank-Sutton Bridge:

Again, using a river bank as a location shows conventions through the open space and greenery and looks appealing in the correct weather. While it is empty, it doesn't appear eerie or a place where you would feel uneasy but a more welcoming, attractive environment.

Planet Coffee-Newland Avenue:

Planet Coffee is a small coffee shop on Newland Avenue. I have decided to use this as a filming location because it attract many university students and people aged between 17-25 (although other ages do visit as well)- similar to the age range of my target audience. Therefore it may be more appealing to the viewers as it is somewhere where they may associate with.
