Location Scouting

For our music video, we decided to have a video with the emphasis on feelings and the surroundings of the feelings, ie; The actor is sad and therefore he is surrounded by tunnels and dark atmospheres, as well as big empty spaces. This is what we found to be ideal for our music video.

Ferry Meadows - This is due to the big, empty fields, as well as the lakes and the sunset which we found tied in perfectly with the ending of the music video.
Ferry Meadows

Embankment - Initially the plan was to film here, as it was tied to Ferry Meadows and the scene of a river and  waterside would be consistent, however after looking into this further, we decided that it would be too much alike Ferry Meadows and we wanted more variety so the idea was discarded.


Nene Valley Railway Station - From the start we planned to film along a railway line in order to show the long trek in the end of the video, this was especially suitable as the railway line would be out of use during our filming schedule, and was easily accessible.


























This is the final location in which we decided to film the near-end of our music video. It is at Ferry Meadows, at one of the lakes. This was suitable as the setting and the time at which we filmed provided the dark atmosphere and lone setting which we planned on.
