Location Ideas...

Author: Amy /














We have looked into our location in great detail and have decided that it is probably not suitable. Originally we thought Brittania Pier was unspoilt and unmodernised. We have looked into this and it has been modernised alot, therefore not suiting the bands image or the ideas we had for the video.
We have looked at many alternative locations including:
- Elm Hill, Norwich and
- Wroxham Broads (pictures above)
The main problem we are facing in filming outside is obviously the weather. Ideally our video would be set outdoors as we think this would work well and really tell the story, but if the lighting isn't right, it could spoil it. The only other option is to film it in the studio. The main idea for a studio video would have to be as if the band are performing, but we could possibly add some extra footage in with the band at different locations.

These Ideas of locations are inspired by the sound of the band... We want the location to mirror the musicality and creative aspect of the band so that you can see the link and so that the style is shown clearly. This idea would enhance the genre of the band but also help to communicate further the time periods that inspire the band in itself.

We have explored into location a lot, originally looking into shooting at Britannia pier, as we wanted to use unspoilt and old fashioned locations, however it was not suitable, as the area is very commercialised and we do not want this feel in our video- we really want to create of which is almost a fictional world in today's society.
Other locations that we have looked into include Elm Hill (we really love how it has maintained the olden days feel), Wroxham Broads, The Close and areas surrounding Norwich Cathedral (again for the unspoilt location).
Some main problems that we need to take into consideration include the weather and complications that could arise on shoot, so at the moment we are looking into other ways that we could incorporate these locations in order to build up this strong vintage/nostalgic feel, whilst maintaining a professional finish. We really want to include the outdoors in this video as the song is very upbeat and I feel that the songs by the crookes in particular communicates a sense of Britishness and we would like to present british scenery as it goes into the roots of the band also, however if the lighting is not correct it could ruin the whole look for the video so we need to find a way to work around this.
