Location Report



Park scene-

The main location for the video will be set in Primrose hill simply because I know there is better scenery; it is a hilly area meaning that when you stand at the top of some of the higher areas you can see the London skyline. Problems with filming in this area are that there is no place to charge the camera if it should run out of battery, the current weather conditions mean that it could snow and effect the scenes I want to film. However we will be setting up a tent for the video so that may solve some of our issues where weather is concerned. This would be a typical location for an Ed Sheeran video, especially if you look at his very early videos that had a low budget. I feel that because the song is quite a summery song the park would be a perfect place to shoot and gives the video an almost vintage feel, especially with the tent and fairy lights I plan to use in the video. Another problem I may find is members of the public getting in the way of filming.

My house-

My own house will be used for an argument scene as there is a large mirror that may add to the scene if you can see what is happening from both angles. The lighting is also good for filming and more importantly space to film. Problems with this may be that we find it hard to find a time when there is no one in the house to film so that there is no distractions for the actors involved. I chose my house for the scene for the reason that I could move around furniture if needs be and decorate the area without asking.






Updated

Due to certain problems we decided to change our location to mainly house scenes, the outside scenes were shot in Hertfordshire down country lanes.
