Before we start construction and filming we felt that we should investigate and source possible locations for filming, compiling recce reports for the locations. In our recce reports we look to assess the locations and see whether they are viable, containing numerous elements which we should be aware of. Safety is paramount and so we need to ensure all locations are safe and suitable for filming. Feature/elements we look for are:
- Health and Safety concerns
- Parking or equipment access
- Electrical outlets/power supplies
- Available lighting sources (natural and artificial)
- Requirement of permissions to film on site
- Viability in creating a suitable and intended atmosphere
- Space and filming possibilites.
- Area for shooting, cast, equipment
Bar Scene
For this scene we are looking to use a bar/pub to film in. This however could be difficult as it would be hard to find somewhere were we could actually do such a scene.
Because our school is a sports college we were able to get in touch with the Purley John Fisher Rugby Football club and they will allow us permission to use the club house and bar to film in.
This would allow access to a power supply and would allow us to use all of the props we have intended or help create the desired lighting effect.
This location would allow us to create the sort of atmosphere we want as it ties in with the lyrics of the song and would allow us to follow the story line.
The location has car park access which will allow for easy transport of equipment, there is a fire exit in case of emergencies and it suits our need perfectly.
Stage/Performance
In the original video there is a live performance from the character playing Strickland Banks, we are planning to adopt this concept of a live performance into our video. We are planning on using the stage within our school to film this scene, this allows us to use the professional equipment e.g lighting effects and give us access to some important props for example a microphone and would allow us access to power supplies. This is also a very safe place to film as it is within the school grounds and there would be a teacher to supervise us or help us if anyone got hurt. We have also been granted permission to film in this location therefore we would have no problems when it comes to filming.
This location containes good power sources and variable stage lighting which would prove very useful in the film making. There are also fire exits in case of emergencies.
This is an ideal location for us to film as it allows us to create the atmosphere of a stage performance, this is vital for us as this helps break up the storyline but also keep the concept of it being a music video in check.

Hotel/End Scene
We have decided come up with the idea to try and film outside an up market London hotel, we feel that this creates the image of wealth and fits the convention of what type of high flying life famous music artists are living nowadays.
This is a relatively safe location to film in, the only problem that may occur could be the potential risk of moving traffic however we will be very cautious and stay clear of the roads.
We have not yet received confirmation to film in this site however there are a range on hotels that we have written to for permission to film and we are hopeful we will be allowed do so.
At this location we will have limited access to a power supply therefore we will have to be prepared for any equipment malfunctions, for example extra battery packs or lights ran on batteries.
Further Notice
However this was only a possible option and as a result of our planning and recce we have decided that the best option and for continuity perposes is to finish with the photo shots of Plan B and the fan as the leave the bar rather than at a hotel.
