Pre-production: Location Research

We brainstorned couple of chosen location from the start of the proction. We first decided on the most known/ideal venue in a bar or pub. The band is exactly located in the Bristol area, which means we wouold had to work our way around to work near their loaction to make the process as easy as possible for us and the band. Alsoto find a suitable venue that we probably never been/ seen before since the band agreed to be part of our production. However, a slight change and second thoughts, the band backed up and decided not to performe in our music video. Now that we couldn't use the band we had to think of similar location of a venue that we all can easily get to with a low budget.

Now that we have chosen our artists to represent the band (one of our groups sister and her friends), we had to find a suitble location for their age group which is around 12-13. We crossed out the idea of bar/ pub from our minds due to age access and the danger of kids in that atmosphere. We also had to think about the suitable time and date for us because our artists still goes to school which takes up most of the day time, therefore there wouldnt be a lot of time around the eventing to shoot our production.

We needed a venue near by and close that we can easily get to and with a low budget, so we decided to research loaction locally, perhaps within our town. Our venune needs to come with a stage for our performace base. We were luck that one of our group memeber's mum worked at a local arts ventre/venue called Norden farm, which had everything we need inluding couple of stages and insturments (such as the drum set). This was more ideal as we couldn't imagine having kids to performe in a bar stage. This location is perfect and extremely convenient, since it holds a great size stage and has its own stage lighting and mirophones. All these accosseries created extra touchs to create a perfect performance base, just like real media instustions (when they film their artist performing on a stage).

It is located in our town were we all can easily access to in a short period of time (so we dont have to travel a long distance). This will save us time to get there and set up our equipments for filming. To add to that, we found out that they let their main stage for booking out for the puplic use for a few hours at a time.




Finally, we decided to have a second loaction for our narrative. We decided to use our main artist (the lead singer that is driving the narrative) bedroom. The idea that we were using childern for our music videos, we wanted an eviromently friendly and homely atmosphere where childern in this generation usually spend most of their time, especically when they fell alone/ when they want to listen to music. The bedroom setting was a suitble loaction for our narrative, it meets well with all of our criteria. This means it is easy to access to and free.]
