Final Location Decisions

We eventually came to the final decision that our video would be set in two separate locations - the woods and along a road. However, these two settings were made up from a number of real-life locations, as each location had certain features which we wished to include within our music video.
We explored several different woods in which to film our video, choosing to film parts of it in three separate woods around the local area - this use of multiple locations for one setting was made possible by the video being filmed in darkness, which means that it is incredibly hard for the audience to distinguish the different filming locations from one another. Below are pictures of the final woods which we chose to film parts of our video in.
Below are some images showing the destinations that we used in our final production:
  • Great Waltham/Howe Street
























We chose this destination as it gave us the best of both worlds. We had a road that we could use to film the beginning and end of our music video in the scene where we see Tom getting out of the car. We could also then use the wooded area to film the rest of our music video, which overall meant we could get a range of locations from one area. Finally, it was also local to the majority of the group which made it ideal, especially when we needed to film urgently to ensure that we got plenty of footage.
  • Mill Lane, Chelmsford































This was our next location, it is used to film some of the road location to. This was our back up location to the first destination encase the first destination was to busy and did not allow for us to use the road. We used this destination to good effect, as can be seen in the images below showing this location being used in our music video.
