Location List & Recces

1. Forty Hall Gardens 

This is a manor house of the 1620s in Forty Hill, Enfield, North London. The house is used as a museum today and is surrounded by a beautiful garden, pond and forest.

 Advantages: 

-Helps to create crisp, clean shots which overlooks the gardens
-Open to use to the public (no restrictions)
-A wide range of areas within the house and garden to use.
-Great for creating a narrative music video

Disadvantages: 

-Because it is open to the public, we may end up getting other people in our shots
-It may be too 'pretty' to fit the 'dark' and 'eerie' music video that we want to create.
-Using the outdoor part of the location makes us exposed to bad weather conditions.
-Too large and varied (hard to make shooting and creative decisions) - bad time management.

2. Photography Studio 

To get quick mid shots (inspired by the 'How Deep Is Your Love' music video), we have thought of using our school photography studio.

Advantages:  

-On school site, which means easy access to the location - No travel needed
-Studio lights equipment provided with the the room
-Good framing
-No time restrictions
-Easily accessible
-We don't need the whole group to go along - good time management

Disadvantages: 

-We may become too comfortable with the studio and decided not to pursue other locations
-Relatively small
-Would need teachers assistant if we want to use more complex equipment.

3. Enfield Town Park 

This is a little park in Enfield Town which is open to the public.

 Advantages: 

-Easily accessible (Within walking distance)
-Open to the public
-Open plan and very big (wide range of areas within the location to shoot
-Clean and bright shots

Disadvantages:

-Because it is open to the public, we may have other people in shot (when we dont want to)
-Used as a golf course
-We may not be allowed access due to work being done
-The location may not match the 'eerie' and 'dark' shots that we are going for.
