Location Ideas

Today me and kenny have been discussing further ideas for location of our music video. Some of these ideas we discussed were

1) St George's Church in Norwich - We went into the city to have a meeting with the woman who runs the church and she said that we could use the church to film the music video. She said that we could use the music video out of hours that would cost £100 - £200 but she said we are more than welcome to shoot our video during opening hours. However this means that we could get strangers coming into the church when we are trying to shoot which could be quite strange in the video and might make it look unprofessional. But it's a more feasible option as it's free as apposed to the £100 - £200 quote.

2) West Raynham R.A.F Base - There is an abandoned R.A.F base in West Raynham that has two buildings that we could perhaps use to film our music video in. The wikipedia site for this is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_West_Raynham
However one problem with this is that Kenny and I are unsure as who to email to get permission to shoot there. Also it is quite a far way for the band to travel.

3) Pinewoods in Wells Beach - Kenny and I went on a location hunt on the beach yesterday (sunday) and walked through the pinewoods and found this clearing where it could be possible to film. The clearing is very light which is ideal for the music video as we will need little or no lighting. The location is very authentic and beautiful so we could create a powerful live performance/narrative based music video. One problem with this location is that electricity would be hard to get down there to use a CD player to play the track and for lights, however we could overcome this problem by using portable speakers or ipod docs and filming on a sunny day would overcome the light problem. Also we may need to consulate the beach wardens to see if they will let us do this.

Kenny and I are still looking for other possible locations and are emailing contacts in the music industry to see if they know of any locations.

  2. Some good logistical considerations Harry. Better if you were to make comparisons with existing products as well though.
