As our music video was based around the idea of a party, we decided to use a house environment to keep the video as realistic as possible. This was our final location.
We decided to use this because we could dress the set easily in lights and props to fill the space and enhance the party atmosphere. There is also a big enough space to film in when we planned what props we needed making it the ideal location. As the lighting in the house is very yellow, we are going to use our own party lights and strobe lights to put more of a cool blue colour giving the video more edge. The lights are going to be placed around the house in suitable locations such as the stair bannister and on shelves so we don't have to do much rearranging of the house which keeps the homely atmosphere present. The other props we are going to use such as balloons and cups etc. are easy to place around and are very noticeable on camera as we practiced.
This wasn't the first location we considered however, although it was the most appropriate. These are some other locations we considered.
The above location wouldn't be appropriate as the space is very open and wouldn't create a crammed atmosphere. Also as it's open the props we would use would be segregated from the piece and not present in some of the shots we have planned for the video. Although this has a homely atmosphere it doesn't tick all the boxes in the respect that we need a heavily dressed set.
Above is the final location we looked at, this is the one which have chosen and like the most as we can picture our video being filmed there as it has the room with a keyboard which we need and also an open plan living area which we can turn into a party easily.
