Location recce photos with description and justification

This is the first location we thought of for our music video, the street is called Josephine Avenue and is in Brixton Hill. As you can see this street is empty which means that it is a quiet place to film which is also a benefit to us whilst filming. The main appeal to this particular location was that it was filled with nature, especially trees. Overall, it had a great scenery and the connotation I interpreted was that it signified peace. However, the impression I also got was that if we used this scenery that portrays nature and peace and positioned the protagonist in the centre of this environment, this would demonstrate juxtaposition. I believe this to present juxtaposition because the protagonist herself is conflicted, her attitude is the opposite of peaceful and therefore her jealousy and anger comes out more and so it demonstrates enigma.

This was the second location within central London, whilst in Knightsbridge we took a short tour on the high road and found several locations that looked suitable for our music video. First location was a sophisticated little garden in the back of the Tommy Hilfiger, located in Knightsbridge, London SW3 1DB.  We came across this location by accident however we thought it would be great to portray the couple together and it being ‘their special place’, this would be a non-linear narrative to show the good times between the couple. After these non-linear scenes the rest of the narrative will be present based and the same location will be used to show the difference between then and now and how she was left alone in ‘their place’.

The next location is also set in Knightsbridge, London SW3 1DB, however there is no exact address for this scenery as it was gated and in-between stores. This location like the Tommy Hilfiger garden is very luxurious and perfect to demonstrate the couple’s ‘special place’ where they feel most comfortable with each other.
