Below is a power point I have made to show my planning I have done for what costume the character will wear in my music video, to make it clear there is only 1 character casted for my music video meaning the costume I have chosen is for him and not for anyone else.
Planning: Location planning for music video
In order for my music video to look great, I need to pick the right location which will give me the best results. Throughout the selection phase I have picked my locations carefully, I made sure they had the following:
A tendency to be bright & colorful
The reason why I need my location to be bright and colorful is so it will look good when coming to edit the clips together, I will be using a dim color correction on my work to make it look more professional so all the colors which don't stand out will look poor in the final edit, this is why I need the colors in my environment to be bright.
An open area (also for public use)
I will need an open area so it makes filming much easier, if I was to film in a small, cramped location then filming will become difficult which in effect will also make the quality of the filming poor. The location will also need to be for the public as these public locations would usually be easy to navigate to, also I don't want to be in trouble with the law if I was to trespass on non-public ground.
A natural environment
I want my locations to be as natural as possible because it will fit perfectly with the plot I have chosen which is that the guy is experiencing new and untouched locations. Also I am really intrigued to be shooting in an natural environment because I have seen previously how well nature looks through film and how well it can be portrayed through great editing. This is what I want to achieve.
Can easily navigate to
I need a location which can I can get to without any means of transport as this makes filming time much more flexible and also doesn't end to be a long trek whilst carrying props and filming equipment.
LOCATION 1: Kettering Quarry
Why? = The reason why I have chosen to film here is because it ticks all the boxes above, as I live close to the location it is just a few minutes walk from my house meaning I don't have to trek miles, I also have great knowledge of the place as I walk my dog around there. The location is also very natural and is filled with trees and open fields, this will make for a great place to film as I am able to use these green colors and make them stand out in the final edit. I have seen the quarry to be always very bright and colorful and new especially with autumn arriving the leaves on the trees will be turning yellow which will make the scenery much more colorful.
When? = This location will be used mostly throughout the whole of the music video, however because of the sheer size of the location, there are various different places I am intending to film.
LOCATION 2: Open Field, near school & allotment
Why? = An open field is what I need for the opening and the ending of the novel, it will be used to represent the freedom of the main character and because of how huge the field is, I believe that this is the perfect way to represent that. It is close to my home and also close to school meaning I can easily reach there within 10 minutes, it is also a natural environment which helps to reiterate my desire to use only natural locations in my music video.
When? I am only planning on using this location at the start and end of my music video.
