Location Shots

For part of our music video we have decided to film the band in a studio. We found a place in Croydon that you can rent out for four hours to use their space and for extra money you can use their instruments as well. This place was called Scream Studios. We discovered they had 16 studios we could pick from to work in. Below are some of the pictures of ones we could use. We decided to use the 3rd room as we felt the layout would work best for filming if we rearranged the room slightly.


This was one of the three rooms that we narrowed it down too. We decided not to use this one however because the room was to narrow and it would be hard to film as we wouldn't be able to fit the whole band within the shot as it would look too squashed and tacky. Also it would be hard to get different angles as their isn't much room to move around in





This was the second room that we narrowed it down too. This room had a better shape than the one before as it was wider so would be a good size to film lots of different angles in. However we found that the bright, vibrant colors would represent our artist wrongly so decided we needed a plainer room with the same sort of size.





This was the room that we decided was the best to use. We would re arrange the layout so the room was long ways. This meant we would have room to shoot the band in the whole frame and also have room to move around so we could get different angles and still fit everyone in. The light, wood floor and white walls gave off the right feel we wanted.







We also wanted to shoot in a rundown, scruffy flat. We wanted the sofa to be a center piece of the frame as the main focus point because we want our actor to be sitting on it going 'insane' throughout the song. We also wanted the sofa to be in the middle because we want the actors to be able to walk all around behind the sofa and be sitting on the sofa in the same shot.

  1. This is a very well thought through post. You explain in a fair amount of detail why you chose the location you did an how you went about getting this location. Good.
