Location Report

This is the location report for our music video. The forest will be a main feature of our music video and ancillary products, as it reflects the name of our artist, 'Autumn'. We chose to use the forest area at the college because as you can see, it is a very picturesque location and would look very good in our music video and on our ancillary products. There are a variety of areas within the forest that we could use for our music video, with each bit adding something different to the shot or to the scene. We also will be using one of the dance studios for part of the music video. This will be for the dance routine section so that we can take advantage of the different lighting techniques we will be able to use and make it seem as though it is a real stage performance.

In reflection, you can see that we didn't use the dance studio for our music video. This is because we had trouble getting it when it was free and having all the performers ready at that same time. We did shoot the dance routine, but we used a different location and got an sequence that we liked. We did use the forest for our music video but because our video was shot later on in the year, there are less leaves and makes the whole scene look bleaker. Having said that, the added colours of the Autumn leaves had a good effect on our products and allowed us to incorporate them into our ancillary products as more of a feature. Having the video in Autumn with all the leaves fallen off also adds to the texture of the video as it reflects the emotions portrayed in the lyrics.
