Locations

*UPDATE* Some pictures added after filming to illustrate location

Suffolk Lodge- Outside Entrance and Garden The lyrics of the song explain how a girl is unhappy with her relationship, to give her an emotional depth the audience could relate to we have decided to portray her to have an innocent, naive and vulnerable side but grow stronger and more confident throughout the video. We chose this location as it large old fashioned house with a lovely garden as this symbolises a sheltered girl with a luxurious lifestyle, protective parents and links to the lyrics 'Money is power and I have everything' in the song. Therefore she would not have experience in being unhappy and dealing with a troubled relationship as she has always been protected. In addition the plants and greenery of the garden make for some lovely visual shots that enhance the appearance and professional look for our video.

Suffolk Lodge- Bedroom, Bench and Gateway We have chosen to film inside a bedroom as it further gives an insight into the girl's life and will enhance the depth and realism of the character. In addition it will allow the audience to see inside the girl's bedroom and deepen her initial vulnerability as she stays safe in the confines of her bedroom without being independent and venturing out into the dangerous world. Singing on her bed is also a symbol of intimacy and where someone feels safe. In addition it is a domestic item that everyone can relate to and reinforces how the girl is normal. We chose the bench for the same reason- it is in the middle of her lavish green garden and reinforces her naivety and protection from the real world. It also creates an emotional setting as the girl sits singing about her unhappiness. We will film in the gateway to the back garden as it is made of a wooden fence that almost looks like a cage, this will symbolise how she is trapped in a relationship and sheltered life and wants to break out

Streets around Suffolk Lodge We plan to film in a cold, wet and dirty looking street because it a big is contrast to the large house with the beautiful garden and symbolises the transition of the girl from vulnerable to a stronger, 'rockier' side and allows her to go on a journey literally and symbolically throughout the music video. We will film these scenes near Louise's house- the location for our other shots because she informed us that the streets near her were quiet with few cars or people to interrupt us in the afternoon time that we intended to film. It also means the locations are near to one another. We plan to film on crossroad because it means we can film shots from different angles meaning a different side of the street was behind Sophie in each shot, creating the effect that she was walking to different locations without us actually having to (this will save a lot of time and avoid struggling to find multiple suitable locations). It will be a safe place to film as it is a crossroad on a back street/ housing area rather than a main road which would be dangerous. We will also film shots of Sophie singing against a wall as it is a easy shot to pull off but looks effective and suits the image of pop/rock song and the girl's stronger attitude through the urban and grimy look.

Drama Room We chose this location because of the room's blank black walls and stage light which will be used to create various lighting effects. In addition it supplies a studio like setting to film in as only the floor and walls are needed, with no surroundings in the mise-en-scene that could distract from the artist and mannequin. It also creates a dark, atmospheric and mysterious setting which with an unknown feeling and black colour will contrast with the other locations in the video which are recognisable and relatable areas that have lots of colour. These shots will be separate from the main narrative of the girl's journey between personalities and will offer a separate section of narrative in which the girl sings to a mannequin and moulds and moves him.
