Location: Scouting


We’ve started to think about filming locations for our music video. One we are certain on is the train station in Peterborough. The difficulty of filming  here is we would have to obtain permission from the station which could be an obstacle. Also we would have to schedule filming around rush hour otherwise there would be too many people around interrupting  the filming. Despite this we are sure we want to include train shots in our music video as it gives the audience the impression she is travelling far away from her hometown to get rid of her problems. We have a vision of Lateshia (our actress) sitting on the train staring out of the window, pondering about life.

This is Peterborough's train station from the outside:
Our music video will include shots of our main character walking into the station.








And from the platform:

This is where the majority of the scenes in the train station will be shot.







For another part of our music video we want Lateshia (our actress) to be surrounded by crowds of people, to portray she feels alone even when there’s people around. The perfect location for this is Peterborough’s City Centre, on a busy day there’s plenty of people in the square. Like the train station we might have some difficulties filming here, as people could purposely try to interrupt our filming.

Here's an image of the square in Peterborough's City Centre:

The rest of the locations we’ll be using will probably be scouted on the day as it’s just open space.
