As in the second verse of the song the music video is filmed in a living room in a house where the artist pulls the sheets over the girl’s feet our music video needs to be filmed in a lounge. The lounge also needs a mantel piece for there to be a photo frame sitting on it so that when the camera goes into the photo frame there is somewhere that the frame is sitting on. Out of the two different possibilities of lounges to be used (Sophie or Erin's) we decided that the best place for these shots to be filmed is at Sophie's house as the layout of the room works best for the shots to be filmed.
For the different living room for when the camera comes out of the photo frame into a lounge where the artist is an old man with his wife and the grandchildren are playing we have decided to use Erin's lounge. Both these lounges have sofas for the actors to sit on and mantel pieces for the photo frames to rest on. The lounges in the different shots are different from one another to show that they had a different home when they got older to what they had when they are younger as it is not likely that they would live in the same house in their 20s to when they are in their 70s/ 80s because they may have upsized their house when they had kids or downsized their house when they got older.
Parks
During verse 6 and the second to last chorus there are shots filmed at a park, this is because the couple in the music video are having a picnic, watching the sunset and messing around at the park. This park needs to be one with a lot of greenery/ a field.
The final decision of park we have decided to use to film in is Great Leighs park. This is because it will be a good location as it is
rarely busy so we could film our shots without getting people in the
background. This location will also be a good place to film the picnic and
messing about scenes between the couple because it is near one of the
housing locations and therefore we could film these shots on the same few days.
It is also good because if the weather is not going according to plan, the park
is so close to the housing location which
means it is easily accessible for actors that we could save
the filming for a nicer (better weather) day at the park.
During the introduction at the beginning of the song,
the scene is set in a dinning room because the artist has cooked dinner for his
girlfriend. This is a romantic scene. When we film the shots in this scene it will be dark outside
as it is supposed to be in the evening when the girl has got back from work.
Although it is going to be dark outside, to create a romantic setting it is
going to have to be dark inside and lit by candles. Candle light may not come
out well in the camera which means we will have to consider a way of making the
shots show up better in the camera. Therefore the room may need to be big
enough to have somewhere to put an extra light that we can move around to
create the best lighting. The dining room will also need to be big enough to
fit a dining table and the actors as well as fitting us (the camera people) in
the room so we can film. The dining room we have decided we are going to use is Sophie's dining room. This is because this is the house that we are going to use for the lounge shot as well and therefore all the shots of them whilst they are in their 20s will be in the same housing location.
Dressing room
During verse 5 the visuals show the girlfriend getting herself ready to go out with the artist. She is putting makeup on at a dressing table. This location will be at Sophie's House as there is a dressing room with a dressing table and mirrors and enough space for us to film around the dressing table. This room is big and has good lighting which will be good for us when filming. Another reason this location will be good for us to film in is because we will be using the lounge in this house for one of our lounge shots and possibly also using the dining room in this house, this means the actors know how to get there and there will be no time constraints to film.
