Locations reccies

Graveyard

We have chosen a graveyard as one of the locations because one of the lyrics in the song which is 'ive seen a mother loose a son he was just the age of 21.'. this scene where the artists says this would be good if its set in a graveyard because it goes with what the artist is saying. It also sets the theme and mood for the audience so it becomes more engaging. so this will help them understand and they will know what is going on more. Me and my partner are planning on using Ilford graveyard because it is quite big and its local so its easier to get ourselves, the equiptment and the casting crew there.

Goodmayes highroad

Me and my partner have chosen goodmayes highroad as a location because it is quite run down with alot of alley ways which will give the urban theme to the music video. Alot of the scenes would be shhot here for example the drug dealing scenes and the scenes where it shows the artists early part of his life where he was living a hard urban lifestyle. We chose Goodmayes highroad because it is local and easy to get to and also the alley ways they have are quite open and close to the busy part of the road so there will be less chance of problems like theft. Another reason why we have chosen goodmayes highroad is because it gives the streets urban vibe to our music video and fits well with the genre. So having lots of scenes here will make it engaging to the auydience and link inalot with the song.

Westwood park

Another location we have chosen is Westwood park. we chose this park in particular because its local also its not very busy so there wont be that much of an issue with people walking past the camera. We need a park for some of the scenes because most young people in britain hang around and do nothing or deal and take drugs in a park. So this will fit in well with the music video. Also it goes with the genre of the song and emphasises on the fact that its a urban genre.

Chigwell

We chose chigwell as a location for the music videobecause it is quite posh and high rated, so it loks like rich people live there. All rappers have aspirations of being rich so this location could be used for scenes where the artist is dreaming where he could live and where he lives when he becomes succesful, rich and famous. So it will be good to use this area because it can show the artist how succesful he has really become. Another reason why we are using Chigwell is because my partner lives there so we can use his house and area for the video to show that the artist become succesful. Another reason why we are using Chigwell is because there is not many 'gangsters' around the area soit can show that the artist is living a better life.

School

Finally we are going to use the school as a location to show scenes of the rapper when he was at school not wanting to go and him bunking, and then the transformation where he starts attending school and hes grades get better and change from E's to A's. This will help us show the audience that he is a changed man and he wants to be succesful. Also these scenes can help link in with the other locations like on the higroad and park where hes doing drugs and failing then when hes at school and starts concentrating it shows him in Chhigwell.
