Location Ideas:

Theatre:

                           

I like the idea of using the theatre because it is a wide space which means when Chris is sat in the middle of it (the chair is there to show where Chris will be positioned in most shots), you can see he is alone so it represents how he is feeling and creates that atmosphere. The lighting in the theatre will look like a spotlight on him with dark surroundings, (I will also be able to alter if needs be with the lights that are within the theatre).

By drawing certain curtains also helps with lighting because I can either make it lighter or darker depending on the effect I want to create for that shot. With the curtains being black it will again be a representation of one of the main things within my music video; that he is in a dark place both mentally and emotionally. The fact that there are so many different curtains will allow me to play around and get lots of different shots witihin different spaces, with different lighting so that I have more to work with when editing for my music video.

The theatre will be where most of my music video will be filmed, the scenes of Chris recieving the electric shock therapy will be filmed in the theatre, as will all the straight jacket scenes and the opening shots too. The mirrored wall is good because it will allow us to see the surroundings as well as the reflection of Chris, however the problem with this will be the camera and angle positioning so that you can't see the person filming.

College Corridor:

          

This is the corridor leading up to the theatre in college, I'd like to use this corridoor as the corridor of the mental asylum and the plan is ti have two people in white coats (Nathan and Steve) dragging Chris down the corridor while he struggles, to take him to recieve his electric shock therapy.

I think because of the length and width of the corridor, it would be good to use, especially because it is white as well, however one of the problems with this corridor though, is the display boards. -I plan to use white A3 paper and bluetack or celotape to cover these up though, so that the whole corridor just looks plain white, like a hospital or mental asylum, so hopefully this will work and look effective, not tacky or cheap.

Double Doors Into Lobby:

These double doors are only going to be used for one shot which will be when Nathan and Steve are man handling Chris and taking him for his treatment. They will crash through these doors and then it will cut to an over the shoulder shot of them all walking down the corridor.

My Living Room:

In the music video when Chris is experiencing his flashbacks of being with his girlfriend and remembering all the happy times they had and how in love they were, it will cut to scenes of those two together, which will have been filmed in their home.

This is where some of those scenes will be filmed, the footage that will be shot on the couch will be them plat fighting and laughing together. I have chosen my living room because it is well lit and with the colour scheme looks warm and cosy. I have put cream blankets over the couch because you relate the colours white and cream with innocense, hope, peace, contentness etc. so this will hopefully have the effect on the audience that both Chris and his girlfriend were very happy and content with in their relationship, which will make it more shocking when they find out the reason as to why Chris is having treatment is because he caught his girlfriend, that he loved derly, went and cheated on him.


Bedroom:

My bedroom will be where the shot of Chris' girlfriend cheating on him will be filmed. Chris will walk in on his girlfriend and another man in bed looking very close, so you can tell they are romentically involved.

The lighting in my room is very bright so will be good for filming the shots and because my bed is a queen-size there will be a lot of room for both people and we will be able to get lots of different shots from different angles of the bed.

After Chris has caught is girlfriend cheating on him he will he will have a fight with his girlfriend, and throw her down to the ground, she will try to talk to him and calm him down while he is smashing everthing up to express his anger. This is the turning point where the audience will  be able to see he is going crazy.


Woods:


This will be where the couple are taking pictures when they are together. I have chosen either the woods in North Ferriby or in Brough because they are nice places to go for a walk and the lighting should be good, also by filming here there is less chance of anyone else being there so it wont effect filming. I will have to check the weather before filming though as it will have to be dry and quite bright, so if it is raining I wont be able to film it.
