Phase 3 Planning - Setting and locations idea

For our Music video, the Idea is to have a house party, as it's a typical location for where significant drinking could occur.

We haven't found a specific location that would be free yet. However most houses feature the same type of rooms and are very similar to one another. So here are some ideas as to what locations could be used for.

Kitchen

• As the kitchen is where food and drink is kept, it can be used for where alcohol is predominantly seen.
• The kitchen can be used for where people can chat and socialise with others, as is common with a party.
• In terms of our video, we'd use this room to show alcohol consumption as well as a party atmosphere.

Living Room

• This room is also used for socialising, the sofas and cozy atmosphere is always popular at parties.
• The use of sofas result in people sitting next to one another, meaning we can document those relationships.
• In terms of our video, we'd use this room to show alcohol consumption and how it affects relationships, as people will be close to each other and stationary. We'll show a negative message as this is what we want to show of excessive drinking. We'll show things such as party members looking on at the main character who is intoicated, people lying down or slouced over with alcohol in hand and people moving away from those who are drunk.

Roof

• This location will be used for the lead character to be alone and isolated from the party.
• The weather and the sky can be used to evoke the characters emotions.
• The view of the city can be used as a reflection of how small the main characters problems are small, so when he goes up to the roof, he can seek some clarity. 

Other Locations

Hall

Stairway

Storage

Outside

Gantry

Music Room

These locations can be used for solely visceral shots. They can be used to break up from the locations that move the story forward. The use of more locations also enable us to utilise more ideas that may not be achieved in the main locations.

I think with the locations made available to use in the college, we have used them effectively. I believe the kitchen and roof are conventional of rap videos and parties in music videos. However the other locations are not as conventional and I believe will be more eye catching to a viewer, as they're not used
