All of our analysis on the music videos showed they had an establishing shot at the start for example, Example- Stay Awake music video within the first 15 seconds consisted of various location shots. Because of this we as a team decided to start our music video with a establishing shot. We have listed a few potential locations were we could shoot our opeening scene.
Establishing shot
Hilton Hotel
(Hilton Hotel overview in Manchester, 303 Deansgate, Manchester M3 4LQ)
For our opening scene of the video (establishing shot) one suggestion was to shoot the shot from the top of the Hilton Hotel in Manchester. The reason for this is because this is one of the highest points in Manchester, which is accessible for shooting and shows a good view of Manchester. By doing this it will give us a shot, which would look professional and unique.
Mamchester arndale car park
(Unit, R10-R19 Marsden Way S, Manchester M4 3AT)
Another suggestion was for the establishing shot, to be shot from the top of the Andale car park. The advantage of shooting here would be that it is easy to accessible and also it’s completely free of charge to shoot.
Main locations of the video
Withworth Park
Witworth Park is going to be one of two main locations our video will be filmed. These will the setting for our campfire, which would be our main scene for our video. At the high beat scenes of the video, we have planned to shoot our scene in a nightclub. This is to create a party feeling within the video. The club we have decided to film in club, which is owned by my uncle. We as a team have written an official letter asking him (Martin Malayil) if we have authorization to film on his premises. We have gratefully received a letter back from him telling us we are able to film in the club.
Manchester town centre
Other location will be the streets of the town center of Manchester to get the shot of crowd. We decided to film the crowded scene on the streets of the town center. We chosen th is location because it would the most convenient for everyone in the group to get there and as it would be free and no permission is needed to film so it would most convenient.
Streets of Manchester at peek times (1pm)
Shisha Bar
Hookahs Shisha bar is another location where we are going to film our video. To be able to do this we have sent out and email to the company asking permission to use the bar to film. We decided on this location because smoking and drinking is what comes to mind of the public when they think about teenagers and young adults. Because our target audience is teenagers and young adults we have decided to shoot one of our scenes in a shisha bar where there is a lot of smoking involved. Also I think it fits into the context and rhythm of the music video.
Wall
We decided to film parts of our music video against the wall. We have looked at many other music videos and saw shooting against a constant background was very common. We decided to film on the wall of our college. We decided because the light was very good at the area and it was easy to get to.
