The reason why I picked my own house is becasue it provides the perfect set for my video and it also has easy access for its usage. It also means I do not have to wait for filming consent to begin filming. It also means it is simple to set up and I have everything I need around me for filming and directing.
Woods/Forest - The Ridges
This set will be used for some of the flashback scenes as there will be chops and edits of the singer and 'Jack' together when they were happy. I will have to shoot these scenes when it is good weather outside and sunny to bring across to the audience the positive happy atmosphere. There is also a bench there which is perfect for theflashback scenes when the lovers are sitting together and then
again when the singer is on her own. I am planning on using two sepearte days to do the flashback scene (Hopefully when the weather is good to emphasis the 'love' and happiness of the lovers and then on a cloudy or gey skied day to show the loss and upset)
Street - Wellington College & Station end of High Street & Ravenswood Avenue
I picked Wellington College for one of the flashback scenes as it is quiet and reclusive. It is also a very pretty road with rows of trees either side of the road and it is also behind the main college in the public areas which are just owned by the school. This means it will be the perfect place to film a happy 'love' scene as it is very picturesque and is a good display of the English countryside. I will use the High street near the station for the first street scene as it has shops on its left hand side and a road on the right which makes it quite rural and perfect for the scene that I want to shoot here. For the second street scene I needed somewhere more private and rural down a rougher road with pot holes and more rustic to add to the singers emotion. This is why Ravenswood avenue is perfect for this scene. It is a rough, country like road which is very quiet and therefore there won't be many people walking down it which makes it ideal for the lonely walk scene as she walks towards the graveyard.
Open Space/Meadow - The Ridges - Wellingtonia Avenue
This will be used for the Flashbacks and is a perfect place to film another 'love' scene as it is a pretty, open place with woods surrounding it making it look natural and wild. The only problems we may encounter are that it is a public area and therefore there will be many people out for walks, also dogs which are uncontrollable and may run into the scene or shot. However this just means that we may have to re-take the shot a couple of times to make it perfect for its purpose.
(I am currently in the process of taking pictures as samples for the set ideas and choosing suitable locations for each part of the video)
