Locations for my music video

First location

After deciding on the narrative for my music video with the aid of my audience research I immediately began brain storming ideas of possible locations and also the number of locations I planned to use. Once I has chosen to have a vintage theme to my music video I thought of possible areas that would present the time period of the 20th century. One of the places I thought would be perfect to consider is the Hull Street-life Museum, so I then began to plan what areas within the museum would work within my video.

The museum has a replica of a 1940's style high street which I thought would work really well for my theme and also give a very realistic feel to the video. There is a cobblestone path and old-fashioned styled lamp posts and I think the overall effect works really well. They also have an actual tram from this time era which I think would be a great prop to use, I plan to have shots of the artist sat aboard of it as well as standing by it as well.

This video I found on YouTube shows you around the museum and also the grounds around it, I also considering getting some outside shots in the grounds as I really like the maze and greenery they have and believe it would look like a 20th
century park.

I have used the contact email that the museum lists on their website, and have wrote to them asking if it would be possible to use the location for the filming of my music video. I was going to make no further plans that include this location until I received a reply, just in case they don't allow it and will have to look at other possible locations.

I did however receive a reply a few days later saying that they do allow filming at the location as a long as I meet all of their terms and agreements and also that I complete the filming agreement form. I will reply to their email answering their questions in the hope of finding a time that does not clash with any other events the museum may be having.

I have not yet had a reply regarding my second request for a filming request, I am hoping this day would work for the location.

Second location

I want to use just two locations in total and I am planning to use a green screen as my second location. I want to create a vintage feel and replace the background with the image of a tinted white/grey faded pattern. These will be performance shots and I hope to use the prop of a vintage microphone in these shots. There will be no problems with me using this location as we have a green screen at my college that is available for media students to use. I will have to organise my filming schedule and book the use of the room at the requested times as a way to ensure it's available.
