Recce.

Stephanie, Sayed and myself went to see locations for our music video yesterday. We went from Greenwich, Westminister, Canary Wharf, Cutty Sark, Walthamstow, Namco and Island gardens park. We went around to different places according to the storyboard.








For the beginning of the music video, we intend to have a tilt shot. Having the camera start from a low angle shot with the trees and surroundings as the subject. It's going to tilt slowly down from the sky, to the trees and then to Tyler.

Tyler then appears to be sitting in a park on a bench. He looks at this watch, showing the audience he's waiting.
Tyler will get a text message "it's over" and get up and start walking. He'll start to walk down a path and lip sync the words. We plan to have a tracking shot, when the camera will  walk with the actor as he walks down the path. "Tracking".

He gets up, and starts walking on his own. He walks down the path still lip-syncing the words showing his stressed, and upset about their breakup. He'll sit aganist a wall, and then we'll insert  We'll have a close up of his face, to show his facial expressions and then the chorus will start with the flashback.

The flashback includes the couple playing around on the grass. There will be a mixture of close ups, birds eye view, medium shots, and so on. The first flashback is of the couple playing around, in a park. Chasing each other, laughing and teasing each other. We then planned a short reverse shot in a local cafe. We intend to have the couple sitting with each other as the flashback.

 We came across both these cafés, that we could use for one of the flashbacks.- Greenwich. We have decided to use the cafe in Bakers Arms. It's near college, and easy to get there.

 This is where Tyler is going to be standing on his own. Looking at the view of London ahead of him. We want to get a shot where he's standing at the edge looking at a scenery of London. Looking and also feeling lonely.

 Cutty Sack; the couple will walk along here during a flashback. We thought it'd be a nice location to have a flashback.

Near Canary Wharf, the bridge is where Tyler will be for the last scene. He'll start to burn the image, with a lighter of himself and Charlotte. He'll then walk away from the photo. Leaving it to burn to show, he'll get over her.

 The place where Charlotte and Tyler first meet. We have a flash back after the time rewinds.





I really enjoyed seeing our locations for where the music video can be filmed. It's brought many ideas to our minds and also we had a good day out at looking around.
