Video Planning - Location Shots

Here are some location shots of potential filming locations, and a brief description of their usefulness and how I believe they could be adapted to suit the situations I require.

This is my back garden, I believe it would be a great place to record some lip synced rapping for my Video. Though I am unsure of angles on the shot, on a clear day and with the fence or garden as a backdrop would be suitable for a casual last rapped verse to my chosen song. This is based on the assumption that a darker theme is used towards the start of the song, and the more cheerful setting is coupled with shows of the greenery around Chell Heath and Chatterly Whitfield.
This is my bedroom. The colour contrasts and lighting could easily be applied to a more solemn part of the song, and the bed could serve as a place to sit and play guitar in a pseudo-live performance. It could also be used in other ways, such as part of the montage section of my video, but this is yet to be seen, and may be easier to film on the go, to provide a sense of actual flow, rather than just a few amateur shots from my bedroom.


The snow capped streets around Chell and Mow Cop would serve as an excellent location for some Lip Sycned rapping, as long as they did not melt in between video shoots - this would cause a massive problem with continuity, and possibly require total re filming in the case of drastic weather changes.

How I will use the locations I have scouted and how useful this research will be can only be decided in a trial by fire - by first filming and testing the footage against what is expected of the Genre.

EDIT - according to audience feedback, the snowy setting would suit my video well, but acquiring enough footage for this setting will definitely prove time consuming, and perhaps become more of a problem than a solution.
