“Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.”

Locations/Setting for our Music Video

Locations/Setting for our Music Video

We have some key locations which we are definitely thinking of shooting in. One of those being the woods which surrounds our school, we own so much woodland that it is easy to get to and will look really effective because all the plants and trees will be real.

Another location could be in our studio at school, here we can create a set which can look like the woods/ a jungle. In our studio we were thinking about having a back drop, this back drop may consist of loads of bold tribal paintings and patterns that stand out.

In the studio we could easily find leaves and bits of trees to place around the room and on the floor, and it is a safer option as we never know if on the shooting day it is going to rain or not. For our musical theatre showcase, we have also recently done a production which used lots of fake bushes/leaves/trees that we could use for our set, which would look extremely effective as they are exotic plants that look like they are from the jungle. In either the forest or the studio, which ever one we choose we hope to use a white smoke machine as it was look extremely effective and to add a freaky, mysterious atmosphere. In the studio, it is more easier to use lighting, we have more of an advantage in the studio as we can use much more technology, and if we used lighting on the smoke that would look quite effective. We looked up tribal colours and a lot of the main colours were: yellows, greens, browns, reds, oranges and blues.




In the forest we wouldn't really need that much extra props as the forest would be powerful enough itself, but I was thinking to create that sense of tribal/community, we could hang wood chimes and dream catchers, paint and carve things on the trees etc.

Although we thought this music video looked quite amateurish and unprofessional, we quite liked the visuals such as the lighting in the forest and face paint on the characters etc.
