LOCATION AND PROPS

I have gone around different places and figured out that Marshfield (a little village on the edge of Bath) would be a perfect to shoot our video. For me, a countryside location would be a lovely quiet place that we could use for the performance side of the video as we would be able to shoot as many times as we like as it is near to where i live and also quiet and easy to film. The song fits with the location as well as it shows a more lonely side of the world. This is not a convention of the more indie song that we are using as normally it would have a more wild approach to it.

We have also decided that a front door and a bedroom is needed for part of the video. This is for the more narrative side of the video as the video is about the loneliness of the girl. (The girl who wrote this video, wrote it about how she was scared to leave her house). This is too literal to film, but we would like to tie it in to the music video as i feel it will give a good effect.

We also think by using a car or something, we would like to show a stop sign, no entry sign, one way sign, or something to indicate having to stop or wait. This is because the song also talks about the loneliness the girl and that she needs to realise and do something about her phobia.

We also need to shot in a garden as we are going to experiment in using different photographic shots,showing the process of a plant dying. This is an idea i came up with as i wanted to have some good experimentation in the video as it will show good skills.

The props that we will be using within the video contain a matchstick house that i will be making along with a throne. This is so we are able to burn it at the end of the video to express the lyrics " Break down the house you made of matchsticks, and set fire to the throne." I will be creating this matchstick house on a very small scale. It will be very difficult to film as it will only be able to be filmed once. I will need to ensure that there will be a few cameras set up around the burning house and throne, so we can get it from different angles.

We will need to also find road signs that indicate stopping. This involves give way signs, stop signs, one way signs, etc.

We will use poster and photographs in the room that she is able to rip down out of upset and anger. The posters will also be used to to drawn on which will show a sad and happy face.

This is what we have planned so far and what we would like to use. It will probably change slightly when getting to the mood board and filming as we do recognise that it is a difficult process but we feel we can achieve it if we set our minds to it.
