Description of the Location:
Londis,
Barnet Hampden Square

Purpose of the location:
Our first main character Jason is introduced as mentally unstable, smoking and drinking as a release. Part of our narrative focuses around Jason shoplifting hence why a small corner shop would be a suitable location for our narrative. Jason steals a bottle of vodka from an aisle putting it into his jacket and then drinking it in an alleyway.

List three points that make this location suitable for the purpose:
        Local, familiar building therefore allowing the audience to relate to the situation.
        Many isles of food and drink, therefore a choice of props and space to film and variation of shots.
        Filming in the evening meaning the shot will be closed therefore customers and the general public wont interrupt us.

List two points that might make this location unsuitable for your purpose:
        May be limited to time allowed to film within the shop due to it being a public place, therefore must be locked at a certain time.
        Lightning is difficult to control due to intense high key main shop lights which cannot be switched off.

If you use this location what will you have to be aware of?

When filming we must be aware of cables and the tripod when filming, the wires could  get caught or ripped and someone could trip over them when filming . Moreover, we must respect the fact that Londis is a local shop which is in public use meaning people may interrupt our filming.

Description of the Location:
St Thomas Church,
Oakwood,
London N14 4SN

Purpose of the location:
Our music video is based on the ideology of a church therefore the church will feature throughout in various shots. St Thomas' establishes our production through a panning shot and appears again in each chorus and towards the end, as the main characters reform and return to the church to lead a new path.

List three points that make this location suitable for the purpose:
·             Stereotypical, iconic holy motif which is unique and conventional to the indie genre due to its unusual atmosphere.
·             Outdoor and indoor so have a lot of space to film and variation of shots
·             Quiet area during the afternoon and evening so we wont be disrupted

This location is suitable as it allows us to successfully include all 4 technical codes within our production. The area has natural high key lighting allowing us to gain high definition shots creating a dramatic effect and connoting the white light church ideology. The mise-en-scene fits with our scene as the decor and exterior link with the mysterious, pale connotations of the Indie genre. Moreover, the shots inside the church and stained glass windows relate to our church based narrative creating a sense of verisimilitude allowing the audience to place themselves in this familiar situation. Finally, the church gives us enough space to experiment with a variety of camera shots without the risk of small spaces and noise interruptions which may occur in an public space or house location for example.

List two points that might make this location unsuitable for your purpose:
·             Bad weather, e.g rain
·             There are no easy access electrical points for equipment
·             Time to film varies due to church services


If you use this location what will you have to be aware of?

When filming we must be aware of cables and the tripod when filming, the wires could  get caught or ripped and someone could trip over them  when filming . Moreover, we must respect the fact that St Thomas' is a local church owned by people who live on site and there are activities going on in the hall next door meaning people may interrupt our filming.
