Location scouting

JJLN

• Lea Valley Park walkway: We will be using the walkway for when the girl is walking through the park to get to the island with a bridge and lake. It has very nice scenery, which adds to the ambiance of the music video. As it will also be in black and white so it will create more depth.

• The bridge between Lea Valley Park:We’ll be using the bridge, which is connected to the island and the park because it is almost like she is torn between the two. We’re using this park because in one scene the girl is sitting on a bridge, staring across the lake and gets a picture of her and the boy out of her pocket and holds it over the lake. She then gets a lighter out of her pocket and strikes it twice. The third time she strikes it, the lighter is lit and she begins to burn the middle of the photo, and chucks it in the lake.

• Lea Valley Park Island:We will be using the island, which is in Lea Valley Park because it is a very secluded area, and will create the loneliness that we will be trying to portray in the scene that we are using these shots for. The girl will be brushing her way through the tress/bushes/branches till she gets to the edge of the island where there is a lake surrounding it. This again gives the shot the loneliness feel.

• Louise’s street where her home is, landing hallway, hallway to the kitchen bedroom and Living room: We are using Louise’s home because in some scenes, we are in the girls home. This then gives the video a sense of homeliness and to show that she loves to be at home and away from the world. The street where Louise’s home is: We are using the street, because in the first scene we are doing a crane shot of the front of the house, and then the second shot will be of the boy storming out of the house, slamming the front door and walking away down the street and turning the corner and shows that once he has turned the corner he is out of her life for good. Also, it will be used in the end scene where the girl walks out her house and see’s all her friends are waiting for her outside and they hug her and then a freeze frame on her smile. Landing hallway: We will be using the landing hallway because there are two shots in the fourth from last scene, where the girl emerges from the room fully clothed and happier, looks back, shuts the door behind her and when she walks down the hallway to the stairs. Bedroom: We are using the bedroom for the scene where she is upstairs in her room laying on her bed in PJ’s and listening to music; she then gets dressed and leaves the room. Living Room: We are using the living room because, in the third from last scene she is sitting in the living room and texting one of her friends if they want to meet up and they say come and look outside. She looks confused and leaves the living room.

• Street by Goffs School: We are using outside of our school because; it still proves that it is an average teenage girl and doing teenage things like going to school. The street is used for the scene when the girl is walking to school, and the boy is walking in the opposite direction, he stops her and it goes from shoulder shot to shoulder shot whilst the boy is telling the girl that she was a waste of time for him. He then walks off, and she watches him leave. He will then walk over to another girl who he has chosen to replace the main girl in the video, and she breaks down and cries as she see’s he’s doing okay without her.
