Possible Locations Within Video

Hessle Foreshore

I have chosen this location because this is a modern designed building which will fit into my montage easily and the location is secluded and good for filming.
I chose this location as this is again secluded and would be good for filming and near other places where my shots will be.
The reason I have also chosen this as a possible location as this is again secluded and will allow my cast to perform to their full potential.
I am using this location for the end of my music video as I believe that this location will fit in with the theme of the video, another reason I like the location is the 'CASH $' sign on the building as this connects to the idea of cops & robbers.
This was one of my end of video choices is because the building also fits my theme for the ending but also my act as a good location for my instrumental performance area.
I was thinking of using this location for some of the walking that my cast will have to cover throughout their narrative, the only problem with this is the lighting of the tunnel.
I believe this is a good location as this adds a nice setting for part of my video as there is lots of texture in the surroundings.
I believe that this tunnel is a better location than the last tunnel as this one is shorter and will be easier to light up in order to get the best shot of my performers.
This is also a good location as this suits some of the footage i may use during the chase between the cop and robber.
I believed that this location would be good for the final part of my video as this again suits the rest of some other possible locations that are featured during my narrative.
This could be used as and added feature of part of the chases that my cast have to perform and again is continuous with the theme of my narrative.

Old Town

I was thinking that I might use the this area as part of the location for the robber to walk through so the audience can get a feel of the type of area differences that appear in my video.
I again thought that this would contrast against some of the other locations that are in my video as I want the majority of my video in run down looking areas.
This is a potential area for my cast to show performance aspects of the song on the steps, I was thinking of taking pictures of my cast performing and then making an almost animatic montage of pictures to show part of the performance of my cast.

This is another area that showed the contrast of places that I wanted to use in my video to contrast against the costume of my robber.

This is another area that showed the contrast of places that I wanted to use in my video to contrast against the costume of my robber.

This is another area that showed the contrast of places that I wanted to use in my video to contrast against the costume of my robber.

Town City Centre
I took these images in order to put into the montage of modern architecture as it will contrast against the other locations that will be in my video.


 
 


Hiltop (Cottingham)
I believe that these locations will be good as this matches other possible locations, is well secluded, is accessible at all times and will allow the performers to have space in order to reach their best performances.



Hessle High Road Passage to Foreshore
I was going to use this as an area for my cast to walk down but I am worried the shot will be to enclosed and may not be a good quality.

Lyrics with video timeline



My performers

The reason for my cast choices is because I wanted to break the conventional thought of a robber being a man and in this video it also shows that the women are also seen as more dominant that men which again swaps the stereotypical view of the two genders and breaks conventional views.

Robbers


Sarah Shields - Main Robber

Katie Thomson - Robber

Steph North - Robber

Nathan Brennan - Cop/detective

Kris Bateman - Cop/detective

+ one extra (Simon & Good Boy) (Tye Malton)
