Location shots for music

video
For my music video, It is based around
a homeless girl who relies on drugs and
prostitution for money in order to live
her life.
1st location Park bench in a field
with hardly anyone around showing
her isolation from other people
2nd location Searching the streets
for money, food and shelter
3rd location Hotel room showing
her getting ready with heavy make
up and revealing clothes to go and
get money off of men regarding
prostitution
4th location On the streets and
roads looking for cars to pick her up
and take her somewhere in order to
earn money
5th location Hotel room found dead
on the bed due to overdosing on
drugs she got from the prostitution
money

Organisation
To be able to run a music video
smoothly, it is imperative to know
what the actors will be doing and
when they will be doing it.
In the video, there are 4 characters
Main protagonist the girl
A woman in the street who tries to
help her get money for food etc.
Man who she sells her body to
The woman who finds her body in
the hotel room
The characters needed for each
scene will be there when needed.
Otherwise, they will be elsewhere
waiting for their scene to happen.

Timeframe Considerations
In order to set my music video up in the
way in which I think it would work best
is if the time schedule is precise and
accurate.
1st location to be able to set this
scene in that way I want, it is
imperative that I ensure it is in the
morning between 7 and 8am. This is
so the scene is set in the morning to
show the girl waking up to a new day
in the life of having no money, food
and somewhere to live. It is beneficial
she wakes up on a bench in the
morning showing her conditions.
2nd location while the girl is
searching the streets for money, food
and shelter, a time of 11am 12pm
may be appropriate for this particular
scene. This Is because most people
who are vulnerable are awake at
these hours in addition to help her.

3rd location during getting ready to

go out in a hotel room to try and earn
some money by selling her body to
men. 4pm is suitable for this scene as
it gives her a good hour/hour and a
half to get ready to go and prepare for
what she is about to do.
4th location a time of 5-7pm is
appropriate for this scene as it is
when most people are finishing work
and driving home so she will be
noticed by many on the streets and
roads by men who are interested in
buying her body.
5th location 10-11pm is where the
girl is found lying on the floor dead
due to a drug overdose she had from
the money she earned by selling her
body. This time is reasonable for this
scene as it would of given her 3 hours
to earn her money and get her

Contingency Plans
If my music video does not go to plan, I have to consider
alternative ideas in order for the plans to proceed. This may
include if it rains, if a camera stops working or an actor cannot
make it, we will have to think of an alternative.

If it rains
We will have to find somewhere we can shoot the video which is inside
and under shelter to avoid any equipment getting damaged

If a camera stops working

Bring more cameras to ensure there is always back up if anything goes
wrong with any of the equipment

If actors are unable to make the day of shooting

Alternatively, understudies may be put in place to stand in for one of
the actors if they cant make it

Minutes Of Meetings
In the meetings of the music video, we discussed all the ideas we can include
and involve. We considered alternative actors we can include in the video to
test out who is more suitable to play each role and who feels more comfortable
playing who. Locations were another thing we had to consider, we had a range
of different places to chose from where we could shoot the video. We decided to
choose Finsbury Park as it is known as quite a rough area in London compared
to other places. This is suitable for this specific music video as it is about a girl
walking the streets in order to get money for prostitution and being in a rough
area helps bring attention to the protagonist and her way of living. Another
thing we had to decide is on the crew and who is more experienced to do the
job properly. The video would need the most experienced people to work on the
job in order for it to reach its full potential and stand out from all other music
videos. Finally, thinking of outfits for the actors were hard to decide as we had
to think of the most appropriate costumes for each individual. For the main
actor Charlotte, we decided not to spend a lot of money on her outfit as she
was seen as a prostitute with hardly any money and her clothes represented
her background. The outfit portrayed her lifestyle to the audience which was
our intentions to reflect the way in which she has to live.
