Location and Set Planning

I will not need to add any set elements for my music video for any of the possible locations this is because I want them to look natural and untouched.

For possible places to shoot my music video I have a choice of five.

1. A swimming pool
2. The woods
3. A studio
4. A house
5. The beach

In the production of my video I will use about 3 different locations.

The swimming pool is a possible location as the idea o the people jumping in the pool with light clothing could symbolise the ink and the falling of the relationship and how the relationship having arguments has blown "out of the water' . Depending on a availabilty this is my most certain location. 

The second location possibility is the woods. Shooting in the woods is intimate and can be adapting to look darker than daylight, this creates a good feel for comparing the dark of the relationship to what it is now as as it could be a shot from early morning till darker at night or the afternoon.

Shooting in a studio will be better for my chosen close ups as it will look more clinical if shot like that. It will also show colours up brighter and better but because of the clinical look of just being in a studio it takes away the intimacy between a couple and the look of it being natural. 

Being in a house creates the normal look of a couple who live together but because I am aiming for an explosive climax through the house, it doesn't coordinate well with being set in a house and then jumping to surreal animations. It just doesn't run as smooth a other options that are available. 

Shooting in a beach works well like shooting in the woods but the weather conditions could delay the shooting and could also have an impact on the way the video looks. If shot on a day with the best weather conditions it can work really well for showing the upside of the relationship.
