Recce Shots

These are recce shots of my main locations for filming. I have found various objects and locations which have given me ideas for m music video.

Location 1 A

This area, located around the back of my grandparents house, will be good for the video, especially for the lip sync shots, as the area looks cramped due to the mise-en-scene, but is large enough to perform in.

Location 1 B

This area will be used for cutaways during the first verse due to the rusted, abandoned look of various objects.

Location 1 C

Although the main building in the area, a small shed, does not have a rusted or broken look to it. some objects on the back of the shed do, so I could use it for a cut away.

Location 1 D

I could use this area fr the flower burning scenes due to the brick texture on some of the walls. Alternatively, I could film the scene in Location 1 A. However, some close-up cutaways of decaying leaves in the compost heap would be good to keep the theme of the destruction of nature shown by the flower burning scene.

Location 1 E

The trees in this area could be a major part of the video. The tree surrounded by scrap metal would be god for the introduction of the protagonist.

Location 1 F

The cramped shed in this area could be used for some lip sync moments, while the wooden fence could be used in some of the later verses to show the protagonist entering the forest.

Location 2

The heavy industrial look of the exterior of the NWG building would be good for cutaways or lip sync. A low angle shot (such as photo 2) could be used in the transition from the into to the first verse.

Location 3

The cramped natural look of the forest would work very well for the second verse. Close ups of the stream in photo 10 and floating wood in photo 13 would be good for cutaways.

Location 4 A

This location would be good for establishing shots at the start, especially the floating tree in the lake.

This area could be use for verse 3 and the introduction. The shots of the dead tree and the sky through the branches show what I am aiming for in my intro

Location 4 C

These carved benches have a strange aesthetic. They could symbolise the protagonist finding himself and coming to terms with his mistakes, by implying the image of someone thinking alone on a bench, as well as bring closure to the man vs nature theme, with people working alongside and embracing nature instead of fighting it.
