Media Production Location Ideas

For my production idea, I will need at least 4 different locations. As well as this I will also need a brief shot of a singular house with appealing aesthetic features on the outside at the start of the video but this house does not have to be the same one as I will use in another scene. The locations that I feel I will need will be listed and explained below:

Scene 1 - Girl's Bedroom:
The start of the music video takes place with the main character in her room where she finds the photos under her bed. Ideally I would like the room to be as tidy as possible and it to be very basically coloured i.e. white and light colours to match it. This is so that nothing draws attention away from the main character. The box she finds should be dark colours (black or a dark navy blue) with a white label so that it seems like the box contrasts to the room and it gives a sense that even though the memories are happy ones, the whole flashback aspect of it is a negative one. This scene will be mainly at the start of the video and will feature briefly between each flashback and it acts as a kind of safe scene compared to the sadness and bad memories of the darker scenes.

Scene 2 - Park:
This scene is meant to be the placing of the first meeting between the two characters. Ideally I would like the scene to be filmed in a park with a few trees around and on a bright sunny day but in the time frame I have and the current season, this will be difficult. I may try to do something with the fact it is autumn and all the trees have had their leaves fallen to the base of them. The two characters happen to meet by chance and quickly begin to start talking and walking together (maybe holding hands) and end up sat together on a park bench. The scene stays the same but now only the female character is present and the lighting turns darker to give the feeling she is now alone.It would start with her near the bench and walking around looking at all the places they had been but now it is empty and dark. It would then turn back to the bedroom scene until the next flashback.

Scene 3 - Oxford Covered Market:
I want this scene to be filmed around Christmas time as the Covered Market begins to have decorations all over it. This will ensure a cute theme is present and the brighter Christmas colours suggest a happiness between the pair. I would like the girl ideally to be dressed in either a white or red coat to make her stand out with the man wearing more of a navy coat as this will make him seem more like he just wants to blend in to the background. The pair would be happy and seem as though they are in love and I would like to end the scene with a shot of them from high up so I can also get a close up of a clock. When it turns to the darker aspect of the scene, I would start it from the same position I left it but this time no one is in the background and the time is still the same as before. Then the girl appears from the side and it then cuts to a close up of her with a slight rotation in an arc shape looking up at her. After this it is her going to all the places they went before and ends with her leaving the market alone.

Scene 4 - Car Park/Car:
The final scene should be filmed in a car park which is preferably empty or with very little cars around. It will be filmed in the dark and will also be filmed whilst it is raining. I will also want part of the scene to be filmed with both characters in the car along with some shots of the girl outside the car and the male character still inside the car. This will give the idea of an argument occurring between the couple and the rain will signify that the man is inside the car and will be safe and secure with the break up but the woman has been left out in the cold and all her feelings have been destroyed.

The music video will cut back to the other scenes for like a final flashback and will end with the girl running down the stairs of her house and bursting out of the door to see the boy stood there. They hug and the screen fades away.
