The document provides location reports for various scenes in a music video. The first scene was filmed on a local road in Southgate to make it easy to access despite poor weather. Performance scenes took place at the actress' home for convenience and easy costume changes. Park scenes were filmed at a nearby scenic park familiar to the crew. Night scenes were captured at Alexandra Palace for its lights until snow forced rescheduling. The dinner scene was staged at home rather than a restaurant for more control over shots and romantic atmosphere.

LOCATION REPORTS
SCENE WHERE THEY FIRST MEET The location we chose for this scene is Southgate. This is because it is a local point for everyone. This meant that it would be easy to get to even though the weather conditions were evidently not great. We chose this particular road because it is close to one of our homes and we therefore knew that this road is not as busy as others. Therefore, we would experience less interruption during our filming and as a result, we would be able to finish quicker than if we were to film on a busy road. Problem(s) experienced: Due to the weather conditions, the road surface was a bit slippery. However, because it was not a major set back, we decided to film as planned.
PERFORMANCE SCENES We decided to use the actress’ home to film these scenes. This was so that it would be easier and quicker for the actress to change costumes. Again, it was a local point for us all which meant that it was a convenient location. Additionally, the lighting in the room on this house could be altered and act similar to a spotlight through being turned to face the actress. Problem(s) experienced: The available space in this room was not enough for us to gain the correct camera framing. Therefore, we had to move the furniture.
PARK SCENES This park, Groveland's Park, was a local park like all our other locations. This meant that none of us would face any problems reaching it. The main reason why we chose this park is because it’s scenic. Having visited it many times before, we knew that it would be a perfect location for us to shoot our music video. When we initially planned for a park scene, we immediately knew that Groveland's Park would be a perfect location. Problem(s) experienced: After filming for a while, we ran out of bread to give to the ducks and swans. This meant that it was challenging to make them swim towards us. However, some members of the public kindly offered us more bread to feed the birds. Also, as we took a dog with us, it meant that other dogs would come over which, at times, disturbed our filming.
SCENE AT NIGHT We used Alexandra Palace as our location for this scene. We specifically chose to go at night time so that we could include the lights which created a beautiful scenery. As we had all visited this place before and it’s in Wood Green, it was local and everyone was familiar it and therefore no one had any issues getting there. We believed that this location would be perfect for the romantic feel that we constantly tried to achieve throughout our entire music video. Problem(s) experienced: The first day that we went there, it started to snow 10 minutes after we started filming. Because we didn’t want to damage our camera and we didn’t want our video quality to be affected, we decided to go home and return on another day.
DINNER/PROPOSAL SCENE Initially, we wanted to set this scene at a local restaurant. However, considering the different types of shots and the time this would take along with the restaurant being busy, we decided to set it at home. Additionally, we thought that it would look more romantic if we set it at home which would fit in with our song choice. Firstly, we started with deciding on which table to use. The dinner table was too big and high for the type of romantic dinner we had in our minds. Therefore, we created our own table using a small table which was raised using boxes. Through doing this, we were able to create a smaller and lower table, as shown below. We have taken pictures next to both tables to show the scale.
Once we had set up the table, we started to decorate it. It was a bonus that one of our mums is a decorator and therefore had decorations for us to decorate the table with. We stuck to a colour scheme of red and white as this symbolises love so we collected all the red and white decorations that seemed romantic. We used a tall vase filled with clear/white pebbles and artificial red rose petals as the centre piece. We used white chairs decorated with red ribbons to stick to our colour scheme. Next, we used red tea lights to create a romantic atmosphere and dimmed the lights to enhance this effect. We used Robinsons squash to make it seem like red wine which would again stick to our chosen colour scheme.
FINAL OUTCOME: We also used strawberry cheesecake decorated with strawberry sauce on white plates to comply with our chosen colours.
