Initial Location Ideas

Pub

The shots of the pub will be used when the detective interrogates people in the bar – trying to find out where his love interest is. In this scene, there will also be shots of the detective character showing a ‘missing’ poster. By having this setting, it lets the audience know that it is a typical setting where rumors and stories are told therefore those in the pub, know what’s going on.

Recording Studio/Booth

The setting of the recording studio and the booth will be used when the band are shown performing together. I will be using this setting as it is common in rock music videos and the audience like seeing a live performance from the band.

Park/Bench

The setting of the park and bench will be used when the singer is walking, thinking about the girl. This will also be used in part of the music video of when he writes a lyric/note on a notepad whilst sitting on this bench.

Abandoned Room

The abandoned dark room will be where the female is held hostage. By having the setting in this abandoned room, it allows the audience to understand the narrative and the dangers of the situation more. It also makes the detective look more heroic and brave. It also shows how strong his desires are for this woman and he is taking many risks just to win her over.

Street (Dark & Mysterious)
