Below are pictures that demonstrate our research into different settings for our music video. With this research we took both our genre and planned narrative into consideration. For example, we noticed that a lot of punk rock bands tend to perform in quite outlandish locations, which is why we looked at a local car park as a possibility - being on the top floor of the car park would also connote their dominance within the music industry. This is supported in the Nickelback song 'Hero,' with the band playing on top of a New York skyscraper. In terms of the narrative, we knew that we wanted to set it in a bar because it would be in context with the lyrics, seeing as it's about a girl poisoning her ex's drink. Because I work at a local restaurant, we seized this opportunity, taking pictures and debating whether or not it would fit our needed requirements for the video, such as access to a bar, table, pint glass etc.

As a result of the car park location being unavailable to us, as the council were unwilling to let us on the location at conveniant times, we looked at some more convenient locations, in terms of being able to travel and film in these places for long periods of time. This way we are able to take the time to be more precise with our shots, as well as film more takes. Contrasting from the car park, this underpass of a bridge has a much more gritty feel, which works well in correlation with our punk rock genre. It also has a lot of space, which fits our criteria because the band's equipment will take up room, and considering we need an area to set up the camera and direct from - this location would be preferable for our performance shots.
