Location Recce
As a part of our music video research we have traveled to the Capital and captured potential locations to potentially shoot our video in. There are different precautions for each individual loaction including the health and safety of the production team and members of the public. There are different reasons as to why these locations are suitable for what we are aiming for.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square is suitable because of the tourist attraction and hussle and bussle of the city. The atmosphere and buzz of Central London will hopefully shine through in our video. We would like to shoot some footage that attracts a real life audience to make our music video as realistic as possible.
Trying to film in such a busy environment may be a concern when trying to capture certain shots due to the general public intruding in the footage and ruining potential material.
The only health and safety precaution we have with filming in Trafalgar Square is that if we are to film footage late at night for lighting purposes then this location is not the safest place to film for our production team.

Charing Cross Subway
Charing Cross Subway is a suitable location as it relates to the storyline we are aiming to portray in our music video. The illustrations on the walls of the subway are interesting and mixes in with the urban scene that we are trying to achieve.
However, we could have problems when filming here due to how narrow the location is. If we are was to shoot scenes in off peak time then it would be extremly busy and difficult to film exactly what we want without having members of the public intruding and getting in to our camera shots.

Southbank
Much like the Charing Cross Suway, this location is similar to the urban scene we are imagining. The colours that are expressed in the left hand picture below relates to the dance style we are researching. The yellow stair well could potentially look successful with our dancer performing up and down the stairs, With the bright colours its a unique location and different to the rest of the locations we have visited and documented. Safety precautions include possible dancing sequence on stairs or unlevel ground could potentially harm actresses or actors participating in our music video.
Professional Dance Studio
For certain shots in our music video we are planning on shooting scenes of our actress/actor training and auditioning. This dance studio is the perfect location with the mirrors and barre making it look professional, The location is easily accessible for us and will be able to use it most of the time. There are little safety issues for our dancer due to the flat flooring and it is incredibly spacious. There will therefore not be anything for our dancer to bump into and no worries for the public interfering in our filming.
