Locations

We decided to chose various locations to make our music video more interesting as a change of scenery would keep the audience engaged.

We chose to film in Amy's bedroom to show a sense of intimacy and achieve a personal feel to some scenes as the protagonist unveils a lot of emotion in the video so we thought this would be an appropriate setting for this.

We also chose to film in a local park which had a path so we could film footage of Amy and Matt to appear like it is a memory she is looking back on in the memory. We wanted an outside location to show more versatility. The weather wasn't ideal for these shots as it was raining, challenging the conventions of happiness. Usually, sunny weather reflects a happy tone and would have been appropriate to show their memories but as it was raining it contrasts this concept. To overcome this, we changed the costume to fit the mood and shot a lot of close ups of their faces portraying a happy tone. 

We also filmed in coffee shop in Shenfield high street for a public location so it gave our video credibility as it is a popular destination with lots of people. We shot some footage from a distance to highlight our location. We thought this would be a good place to shoot as it would reflect a common destination for young couples.

We then shot a small amount of footage in Matt's car as it represents a young 18 year old couple in which the audience would be able to relate to. I sat in the back seat and shot from behind them to show the sides of their faces as they argue to then variate shots.
