Location Scouting

For my music video a lot of locations are going to be used as the setting changes very rapidly, for instance here are just around half of the locations I intend to use;
Roads at night, Parks, Buses, Trains, Stations, Shops, Fast Food Restaurantes, Norwich Market & Norwich's Royal Arcade, Tomblands (area of the city, DFS and likewise furniture shops, Staples, Banks, Fish & Chip shops, Music Stores, Model Shops, Clothes Shops, Petrol Stations, Factories, Warehouses, Fields, Foggy/Smokey Woods, Bridges, Underpasses, Galleries, Museums, Rooftops, Back Alleys, Cathedrals, Bathroom Shops, Pubs/Bars, Cemetery, Massive Car Parks, Underground Car Parks, Library, At A Gig, An Office, Cinema, Opticians, Car Show Room, Roundabout, A River, Police Holding Cells, Farm, Hairdressers, Printing Press, Tunnels, Electricty Transformer Sites, River Banks, Hills, Scrapyard, Docks, Drydock, Industrial Estate, Recording Studio, Road going into a Wall, Plant Shop, Old Greenhouse, Well, Old Mill, Under Wind Turbine, Fun Fair, Airport, Airstrip, In a Skip, A Fishing Lake, Swimming Pool, Card Shop, Forest with lights hanging from the Trees at night, Empty Football Stadium, Suit Shop, Art Studio, Bathroom, Train Station, In a Drawer, Fire Station, Old People's Home & The Apple Store.

I am going to go into the city on Wednesday and do some scouting as well as further research when I get back. I will use a DIgital SLR to take still of the locations and post them up on here in a slideshow. Also whilst taking photographs I will try and obtain permissions to use shooting locations that are not included under the Public Filming areas, i.e. private ground and business such as HSBC and The Apple Store.

Anti-Video

Anti-Videos are films made on a very low budget and often invole a lot of guerilla filming and large amounts of creativity. They often make lots of use of the reaction of the public and public spaces which are free to film in. I think this would be a helpful and interesting technique to utilise for my production peice, using locations such as; Roads at night, Parks, Buses, Trains, Stations, Shops, Fast Food Restaurantes, Norwich Market & Norwich's Royal Arcade, Tomblands (area of the city, DFS and likewise furniture shops, Staples, Banks, Fish & Chip shops, Music Stores, Model Shops, Clothes Shops, Petrol Stations, Factories, Warehouses, Fields, Foggy/Smokey Woods, Bridges, Underpasses, Galleries, Museums, Rooftops, Back Alleys, Cathedrals, Bathroom Shops, Pubs/Bars, Cemetery, Massive Car Parks, Underground Car Parks, Library, At A Gig, An Office, Cinema, Opticians, Car Show Room, Roundabout, A River, Police Holding Cells, Farm, Hairdressers, Printing Press, Tunnels, Electricty Transformer Sites, River Banks, Hills, Scrapyard, Docks, Drydock, Industrial Estate, Recording Studio, Road going into a Wall, Plant Shop, Old Greenhouse, Well, Old Mill, Under Wind Turbine, Fun Fair, Airport, Airstrip, In a Skip, A Fishing Lake, Swimming Pool, Card Shop, Forest with lights hanging from the Trees at night, Empty Football Stadium, Suit Shop, Art Studio, Bathroom, Train Station, In a Drawer, Fire Station, Old People's Home, Apple Store,

Another Production Idea

Joy Division - Atmosphere

A bloke looking for his girlfriend in lots of locations with a repeating kind of open shot and he keeps finding the band members till they're following him from spot to spot then he finds his girlfriend but she keeps disappearing when he gets near (use after effects) 'till he finds her lying in sand and he joins her, shot of them going out of focus to the band

Audience Research

I need to look for people in my target age group (16-28) and ask them about their thoughts on the Arctic Monkeys and their previous videos and also about their musical divulgance along with how their video's have changed with them. Once I've done this I will totally finalise my idea and draft a storyboard.
