Music Video Locations

There are many potential locations that we can use to film our music video, taking into consideration that we need enough room to use a green screen we had to decide on a big room so that we had space to dance and not damage any of the equipment. We have decided that one of the drama rooms would be an ideal location, this is because we will have enough room to set up the equipment we are going to use e.g. lighting, green screen and camera. In addition the drama room doesn't have any natural lighting, this will be play a major part when filming. By not having any natural lighting it means that it wont affect the green screen when filming, if there is any uneven light shone onto the green screen it could make it more difficult when editing the green screen out. Before we are able to use the room we have to be granted permission from the person who resides in the room, if we are then granted permission we have to negotiate a day and time we are able to use it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Another location that we are looking shoot our music video at is Woolwich Polytechnic school for boys. We have decided that we would like to use a different location other than Welling School; this is so that it is predictable and as a group we decided that too many video have been shot in this specific location. Woolwich Polytechnic would be a good location because people wouldn't be familiarised with this location. We would use this location to film the dance routine for the song by Britney Spears - "Hit Me Baby One More Time". The location is the main part of the song as it is set in a school, before we can use it we have to obtain permission from the school itself. Again if we are granted with permission we have to see when we are able to shoot, we have to find a time and day that suits us all. The way that we can get permission to use the school is either by writing a letter to the head teacher or the owners of the school. However something else that we are considering is that Luke Shelley's mum works at Woolwich Poly so we could ask her permission to use the grounds, however this will probably not be a feasible idea and we will have to write a letter to the head teacher of the school.
