Photographs of locations

This post contains a compilation of photos that I have taken of potential filming locations around the country. I have written a brief description below each image to explain what the image is of and why I have chosen that location.

This is a photo of a painting directing pedestrians to the bus station in Waterloo. I thought that this would be an interesting place to film as I am considering incorporating buses into my "Everybody's on the run" music video idea. Buses can also be seen driving past the tunnel at the end, which could provide an interesting backdrop.

This image was taken on Waterloo Bridge. There is a gap between two buildings that enables me to capture both Big Ben as well as the London Eye in a single shot. This shot could be effective if I was to film it to be used as a timelapse to see the wheel moving in a fast motion as well as the hands of Big Ben moving in speed.

This is a photograph of the Royal National Theatre. It is a building that I would like to use for the bulk of my music video. I will ask for permission to use one of the higher levels to film my artist. The reason why I would like to use this building is because of both it's height as well as it's backdrop. Due to the elevation, the shot contains many buildings along the embankment. Along with this shot, I am hoping to film using a particular type of natural lighting, during what is known as "The Golden Hour". I believe that this would provide a very effective shot when put together.

The reason why I took this shot is because I would like to take several shots similar to this around London. Silhouette "establishing shots" are very effective and have been used in other music videos such as "Paradise" by Coldplay.

These are photographs taken of the location of my performance scenes. This is the stage in the main hall of my school. I will use different lighting techniques to give the scenes a 'live' feel. The chairs will be removed and everything backstage will be covered with a large black board so that the band are the primary focus of the scene.
