Final Location:
For this music video we want to feature various locations as the music video is going to document the monsters everyday life and how he fights for inner happiness. The monster will be featured at home doing his morning routine, outside, going into town as we want to document every day life as well as contrasting it with things like going to weight watchers, reading, jogging, eating healthy, dating which is in complete contrast to the first part of the music video where the monster is sadly going though a mundane life.


Here is a rough list of locations I constructed for this music video, we aren't certain on using all locations featured on the list but it gives us a rough idea of where to go.

Maps of the locations:


Hartshill Hayes Country Park: A Peaceful, leafy park with a visitor centre, walking trails, playground & a weekend tea kiosk. Hartshill Hayes is a 14 minute drive from my home in Atherstone and offers parking for only £3.


Camphill: Camphill is Emily's home town, so it is a cheap alternative for us. I would be able to drive to there as it is only a 10 minute drive from home and I could pick Connie up along the way or she could get public transport to Emily's and meet us.


Nuneaton Town: Nuneaton Town will be easy for us to get to as I could drive and pay for parking or we could get public transport depending on what we would like to do and what day we choose as it could be busy and interrupt parking.


Riversley Park: This location will be easy to get to as it is walking distance from Nuneaton Town so we wouldn't have to worry about transport. We could park up and shoot in town, then walk to the park.

We have chose against using Atherstone as it is quite a dense location and doesn't feature many events we could use for everyday life and can be quite busy with delivery lorries plus Connie and Emily both live in Nuneaton so it would be easier if it was only myself that had to travel plus I don't mind because I drive and none of the others do yet.


This is the location we have decided to film in, partly due to convenience and also for our music video we are aiming to do a day in the life style video so its useful to have Connie's house available to use to film the day to day functioning of our monster. We are also planning to use the area around Connie's house as well, Riversley Park is also going to be a key area that we film in due to its accessibility from both Connie's home as well as college.
