Locations

We gathered up around four or five possible locations. The locations are:

1. Canary Wharf

2. Tower Bridge

3. Wapping Pier

4. Picadilly Circus

5. Millenium Eye

We were considering these locations in London because of recent videos we have seen. A good example would be Devlin - London City.

another reason we picked these very urban and busy loactions is because they are strong characteristics feature of the genre hip hop/rnb.

Some other Videos we had found with the same sort of locations was N-Dubz - Playing with fire and Fergie - London bridge.

Location Recce

This is a picture of our artist sitting by the river near Tower Bridge. We're hoping to film this part of the location on the 1st day as its the closest place out of all the locations chose. This is where Imad (our artist) will be filming alone and the girls part would be shot elsewhere.

This shot would be behind Imad when we're doing our cut away shots. We've chosen this because it'll show the audience that its set in the city, and having it as a cut away would mean it'll be through the whole music video.

This is the London Bridge, and can be seen from where we're shooting. We're going to get a shot of it when establishing the locations, its very useful because its a landmark of London and the audience would know straight away where it is. Because its close to Tower Bridge, it makes it easier for us to shoot it.

This place is in Southwark, not too far away from London Bridge or Tower Brdge. We're hoping to get imad and the female artist in this part of the location, because it'll make a really romantic setting with the lights behind, and would make the  music video look more creative and colourful.

The riverbank by the city of London would be another chosen location, with famous landmarks like London Eye at the background. This place is actually quite romantic, as we've seen many couples around the area. Again, another place for both artists to shoot.

 Big Ben is located near the London Eye, so we're going to shoot there aswell. With the parliament building behind, it'll give the video a political view aswell, as seen on other msic videos.

In between the music video we're going to establish locations as cut away, as well as that we've come up with a speedy effect where we film cars passing by, and this is one of the locations we're shooting for the speedy effect. Its located just over London Bridge, and not too far from Southwark.
