Location Scouting

For our music video, we decided to have a video with the emphasis on feelings and the surroundings of the feelings, ie; The actor is sad and therefore he is surrounded by tunnels and dark atmospheres, as well as big empty spaces. This is what we found to be ideal for our music video.

Ferry Meadows - This is due to the big, empty fields, as well as the lakes and the sunset which we found tied in perfectly with the ending of the music video.



Embankment - Initially the plan was to film here, as it was tied to Ferry Meadows and the scene of a river and  waterside would be consistent, however after looking into this further, we decided that it is not suitable as the trees have been cut down making it look bland.





Nene Valley Railway Station - From the start we planned to film along a railway line in order to show the long trek in the end of the video, this was especially suitable as the railway line would be out of use during our filming schedule, and was easily accessible.



Town Centre - We have decided to film in a bar and restaurant which were located in town centre. To make sure that town was not packed with people, who are out shopping, we chose to film on a weekday. This reinforces the idea of loneliness and made it a lot easier as we did not have to wait for people to walk by constantly so that we could get on with our shooting.
