Location Photos [Recee]

As we were sure about the music video and its genre, we had to specifically choose locations that we are going to use. This would be make the whole video look like it fits withing the genre of rock/indie etc...We have chosen from variety of locations. From simple brick fence to the old closed pub in South West London. Those locations helped us to build up the atmosphere and help to understand all the codes and conventions of our music video.

Below I show the list of all locations that we have used during filming process:

Harry's room - Sex Scene Location

On the left you can see photo taken during filming of sex scene. This is Harry's room which was perfect for us. You can see the room is full of blue/white/red colour which symbolises three different things. Blue for me symbolises coldness/illness/cold/shock relationship which can be implied during the scene when he finds out that he has AIDS. White symbolises purity, but in this example it is just to show contrast between the girl and him. The red colour symbolises love/sex/romance for me which can bee seen throughout the whole music video.

Clinic Scene - Old NHS Clinic building

The clinic scene was filmed by the old NHS Clinic in New Malden. The first advantage of this was because it was close to our work place, so if there was some problems with the shoots it was easy for us to re-film any needed shoots. Another thing is that the place actually created an atmosphere of a clinic and it has all the symbols and signs that tell the audience more about this place eg. place for wheelchair users and cars.

Performance scene - Brick Wall

There were many times when we shot a lot of performance scenes in many places. One of them is when the performer is seating on the brick wall by the houses singing under roots of a tree. We looked specifically for the brick wall not the overall location around. This created really nice effect because the wall was high and the camera caught everything in the background eg. high building/other houses/skies.

Pub in South West London

The pub in South West London (Roehampton) was a great place  to film the scene of the band and the main performer when they wake up after Club Scene. As the result of summer riots in London , the pub was closed down which was great opportunity was us to film there as the place looks really run down and old. It creates great atmosphere. That day we also did photo shooting in the same place which will be used for our front cover of the album.

 Another location that we have used was Putney Vale. The reason for this is because we wanted to use ordinary, normal location. Because Putney Vale is where me, the main artist and one of the kid live it was easy for us all to gather and film some footage during nice sunny day on Saturday.
