Photographs Of Potential Locations

These are some of the potential locations for mine and Julius music video. We are planning to shoot both the characters in our music video to be walking around Canary Wharf holding hands with the Christmas lights in the background on the trees.We decided we want to film in the Themes Cable Carts as its romantic that they go in together and look out the window of the beautiful view.It will be quite difficult to film inside the Cable Cart, as it takes time to film and we will only have five minuites to film the whole scene. We are also going to do some filming in the St Ann's Church Graveyard for the scene at the end in our video when the female actress dies. We will have to pre-book the graveyard, getting permission from the Reverend if we are allowed to film there.

List Of Locations

The locations we decided on using are:
·         Julius’s House – his bedroom, a room with a table, inside of his front door and the outside of his house. His house is free most of the time and quiet so there won’t be any distractions.
·         The Thames Cable Carts – when they’re on a date and there’s scenes where they’re looking at the view outside to make a romantic.
·         Canary Wharf – The Christmas lights on the trees look really pretty at night and it would be romantic to capture the two characters walking together with the lights in the mise-en-scene.
·         East Ferry Road – we have scenes where the lead singer runs across a long street with a post box and a train station right next to it and this is the perfect location as it has both.
·         Crossharbour Train Station – it’s a big, spacious train station to do some filming and it has the long street connected to it so we don’t need several locations to do one scene.
·         A Graveyard – At the end of our video the lead singer is at a Graveyard so we’re going to need a non spooky, modern Graveyard.



UPDATE:
      Julius and I have decided not to shoot in the cable carts no more because it takes us hours to film just one scene and each ride on the cable carts is £3, which lasts only five minutes. If we did go on the cable carts we would end up spending a lot and we cant afford too many rides.
