Location Scouting

My partner and I decided to film in two different locations to begin with, Windsor/Eton and inside a studio at school. We decide that to follow the indie-rock genre theme we would shoot some shots of our male character singing against a white backdrop. I created a presentation full of interesting photographs and gifs which relate to some of the lyrics e.g. Nighttime, Stars, Moon, Constellation etc. Our decision to film in the beautiful location of Windsor/Eton was mainly because of the romantic feel of the place, they are full of couples and cute features.

Throughout the beginning we are planning on shooting each actor in different locations, Talulah in Windsor and Joe in the art studio at school. At the end we are going to film them finally meeting in a completely different location; which we are later yet to decide. I requested to hire a projector to project my presentation onto the white backdrop over Joe, as he looks sad and portrays a broken hearted man. The presentation includes aspects of weather, nature, indie patterns and features of nighttime.

Our initial idea was to film in the city of London. We planned shots to film on the busy underground and on streets such as Oxford Street and abandoned dark places in Soho, however after some deep thought and attempted planning we decided that this would be too difficult. With the lack of time to film before our deadline and the use of two different actors, finding a date which they could both attend to seemed to be the most difficult. We acknowledged that we would have to revisit the location multiple times which would be extremely expensive as a train ticket will be approximately £20 each time. We discovered that the weather would be too unpredictable and as we don't have the correct lighting equipment that we would need we decided to stick to filming locally.


To make things more visually pleasing and interesting, I constructed a youtube video of our location visit in Windsor and Eton:
