Checking Out The Locations!

Me, Celia and Tajay though it was a good idea to check out some potential locations for our music video so that we can narrow down what locations we will need and which best suit our chosen song and storyline.

Our first location is of Leake Street tunnel in Waterloo. We believe this location is parallel to our music genre as it is covered in graffiti. The graffiti symbolises an expression of art, it could also symbolise gang signs and culture which corresponds with a hip hop/rap theme. In this location we will have our actor who is playing 2pac, rap to the chorus of the song whilst walk through Leake Street. We will use a low angle panning shot from both side and front view. 
Our second location is of an estate in North London (Broadwater farm). We believe this location is useful as our video is to be set in the 90's where everyone grows up on a block, in london our housing is different and instead of blocks we have estates instead, however this is similar as most gang related crime and rap artists come from estates like the one we are going to film at. In this location we will have Tajay walking through the estates ready to chill with her 'homies', this is where she gets 'snaked' by her so called friends and the drive by happens.

Our third location is at St. Johns Church in Stratford. We believe this location is crucial in our music video as our song is about God and how only God can pass judgement. For this location we will need permission to film at the church, if we do we will shoot the end scene at the location and the fast rate drive by shooting here. 
Our final location is the photography studio in our college, we believe this will be perfect for our hospital scene as we want most of our audience's attention to be focused on Tajay's eyes rather than the location, if we keep the location simple and plain it will make Tajay stand out.
