Location Research

The first location we looked at was an abandoned building in Leicester; GEC Whetsone is an old engineering plant that used to test early jet engines, it was opened in 1941 and has been constantly used from then on for different things, this has made the building even better as its clearly obvious that the building is run down and over used even before they closed it down in the late 1950’s, now it is closed down it has become wrecked and broken, this is also a very conventional building for us to use for our video.

 

The second location we have looked at is a barn on the outskirts of Bourne, if we were able to use a barn it would give us a really nice look to a video, this inspiration has come from a music video called ‘Death Toll’ by While She Sleeps, they used a very dark room with a dusty environment, if this is something we can replicate in the barn I think it will be extremely effective. The use of this location means that we are very close to home and can easily go back and get anything we need for the shoot very quickly, making our shooting day more productive.

 

 

 

 

For our last location, we have thought about using an open, empty factory, we feel this location will be a good set for our music video as it’s something we have seen been used in other hard-core music videos and gives a really nice feel to the video as it gives it more of a large and enhanced feel. The lighting in this location will be easier to manage as we would not have to have any form of electric as we can go off the mains in the building.
