9. Location Shots

My group are planning on using the bridge in the music video, as that will be the location where the girls in my group's pop band will meet up, just before they begin lip-synching to the song. We plan to film shots that feature the bridge early in the morning, as that is the most likely time where the sun will be shining, making the day brighter. This is good for a conventional pop music video, as brightness and vibrancy are typically featured in conventional music videos.

 We have decided to film the first part of our music video in each of the girls bedrooms. This will adhere with the fact that the music video will represent 'the perfect day' and we will see them waking up in the morning here. The bedrooms that we are going to use are very stereotypical of teenage girls because of the colours, decoration and tidiness.

 

My group have decided to use London as one of our locations because the connotations of the city and all the bright colours represent energy and excitement which is the mood that we want to convey in our music video. We have chosen to film on the Southbank because the River Thames will be in the background which will be good for our mise en scene. We have also chosen this location because it is always busy and lively which is reflected in the lyrics of our song. The parts of our video that will be filmed on the Southbank will be both performance shots and cutaways. The fact that we are going to film in London in the evening is also going to be effective because London is also busy and exciting in the evening.
