Location Scouting

George Watkins

In our music video we used a number of locations, the locations we used are as follows;

-          2 different houses (Including rooms such as a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room and hallway.
-          Pub (Car park and pub garden)
-          Country roads (For driving scenes)

When it came to finding to houses to film, any house would do the trick but we decided to use the group member’s houses as we wouldn’t be reliant on anyone else to be able to film in these locations and it is important we have 2 different house representing the boy and the girl’s houses seen in our music video. In the girls house the rooms that are seen are her living room for the scene of the party and also a scene where the girl is chilling on the sofa and then receives a text. A bathroom for both the boy and the girl to look at themselves in the mirror to sort their appearance out after a rough night. Her kitchen for when the boy and the girl first begin to talk at the party. And finally the girls (or any) bedroom for when the boy and girl are seen together the morning after the party.

The second house is the man’s house where you don’t see as much of it as the girl’s house, all you see in the man’s house is the bathroom where the boy gets ready to go to the party and also an exterior shot of the man walking into his house after returning home from the pub.


Another location that we used momentarily was some country roads we used for the driving scene, the reason we used quiet country roads was because they weren’t too far from our houses, quiet and also had very plain naturalistic backgrounds so the main focus would be on the car and the boy driving the car.





Another one of our main locations we use for our music video is a local pub which we use for the scene of the pub car park and the car pulling into the pub, this pub is very close to the location of the country roads, the pub is called the Rose and Crown. The reason we chose this pub is because the roads outside of the pub are quiet making the film production easier and also it had an empty car park which we also needed for filming. The second pub we used was also another local location the Angel which we use for the scene in the pub garden where the man and women meet before their argument begins as the girl finds out the boy has a girlfriend of which he has cheated on with her.
