Locations list.

Here is a list of our locations that we chose for our video:

First scene with girl texting (20 sec. action and music) -Bedroom (Taz's house)

Meeting place and end scene-Marina

'Good' street- Marina- Lit up area near flats

'Bad' street- Road leading to end of Marina

Argument scene- Lisa's house

We chose all of these places as they were all suitable areas for lighting, timing within the video (Travelling into the next cuts/scenes), and showed strong representation of each place that we would show, for example, the lights were brightly lit in the 'good street', making a positive atmosphere to reflect this environment.
We decided to choose Taslima's room for the opening of the girl singing and texting her boyfriend, as it was a larger area, which was more suitable for filming certain angles, such as long shots and point of view shots.
We also changed our meeting place to the Marina instead of Queen's Gardens, as we decided that the space would be limited because of the layout of the area, and thought that Marina was a more romantic location to film after taking a visit there to decide what we thought, as the location showed the sea over the marina, with small lights of the city in the distance, again like in 'Love Actually' and 'Sleepless In Seattle'.
We chose my house for the argument scene, as I have a red wall in my living room, which the couple would be sat infront of on the sofa, representing love at the start of the argument when they are sat together, followed by anger and danger as the begin to argue.
We also changed the 'good' and 'bad' street locations to areas not shown on our mindmap, as when we began filming, the original places we had chosen were too long in distance to film on meaning we could not reach the next scene in time, and the lighting was too dark over the characters' faces to be seen properly. In light of this, we chose to shoot the street scenes in the same location as the meeting place and end scenes- at the marina, in two small areas where the lighting was appropriate and outlined the faces of the characters in the way that we wanted them to.
