Location Scouting within London

On the 15th October 2011, Yasmin and I went searching for possible locations to shoot our video. After  hours of searching we were waiting for a bus in the Burnt Oak area and we suddenly looked down the street noticing the clear and beautiful pathway. We found it the most ideal place to shoot the artist walking down the pathway as it is a flat surface which is often very quiet. Practically, we agreed that it would be a good place to track and pan the artist walking down the street, although we may need a few test shots

 We then traveled to the wembley area where we found a suitable place where we could realistically shoot the dance sequences. We came across a quiet area near Wembley Park Station where we could shoot which provided many angles that we could shoot the dance sequence from. The wide pathways ensure plenty of space for the dancers to perform their choreography.

 We then came across a space underneath a bridge where we could picture the dancers performing, we thought this could be incorporated within the video. However, this space will need a significant amount of lighting during post-production as it is quite a dark area which needs to be lit.







We came across the Wembley Park Station and noticed that it was closed, this made us think that the stairs of the station could be a nice place to shoot glimpses of the dance sequence or maybe even the artist walking down the stairs using audiences within the video. However, if the station is open it would be difficult to shoot the sequence. Moreover, it would be a shame to not incorporate the stairs within the video.

Walking up the stadium and we saw the stadium and a slope near the stadium where we could shoot the dance sequence, as it is a smooth surface and a good place to film a choreographed sequence. However, there may be problems with consent as the stadium owners may not agree to us shooting around this area.

 In the beginning of the video we have decided that we will attempt a high angle of London city. We will attempt this by going on the London Eye and filming the scene there as it will add a perfect effect within the video.

The Wembley Stadium consists of a fountain of which we have decided that would be a perfect area to have the couple arguing at sunset as it will add a beautiful light to the shot and it would have a wonderful scenery behind the couple.
