Location Research and Planning

Today I began considering locations for the production, I knew from the off that I want to focus my production very close suited to the genre and style of music Olly Murs produce, a very stylish and modern feel. Knowing this I began looking over all of their video's, I also used Spotify's 'Similar Artist Search' tool in order to find a list of similar artists, who of which I viewed their music video's to try and find inspiration on location. The screenshot below shows me viewing Conor Maynard's music video for 'Can't Say No' which was produced in back in 2011. I found this good inspiration due to it's use of modern, fresh locations such as the shots inside the party.

Knowing the locations I had in mind I set out in task of collecting pictures and recording's of these locations, to my surprise along my walk I came across a number of other locations that I believe would be perfect for my production, these pictures are shown below -

 

In the meantime I am going to continue to collect images and recordings of the type of locations I can find, putting them into a video to showcase them, these will be found in a later post. I believe that having done this task I have put myself in a stronger position in terms of locations for my production as I now have a clearer understanding of where I can film and the types of shots available to myself.
