Location and actor planning

St Georges Park

Link to 360 Image

This is a link to a 360 degree image of the location, this shows the surroundings of the location and gives us a good idea of what we are going to get when we visits the location.

This is the location that we will be using for showing the main character doing fitness routines and also shadow boxing. This location is a pubic place and this means that we would not need to email any one to ask for permission, but we would need to make sure we don't disturb the peace. This location is very green and also visually quite spectacular so we think it would be a good addition to the video as it would make it more interesting.

Synwell Boxing Gym

This our main location for our narrative in our music video. This being important for us to find the best location we can for what we want. We have already been in contact and arranged for them to allow us to film inside the boxing gym. This boxing gym is not too large, so it is difficult to find any pictures online to get inspiration from, this is why we plan to scope out the location before we film to give us a good idea of what we are going to get.

This image below is not from our location however this is the kind of images we want to create and we feel this location should provide us with what we need to create the shots we want for our narrative in our music video.

Performance Set

This location is variable as we only require a set/open space for this location. This is where we are going to shoot the performance elements of our music video and the kind of images we want to achieve is shown below:

The location we are going to use is our school drama studio, this is the only open space that we have available. The advantage of using this space is that we have lots of resources for lights and we will be able to creatively light our scene with different lighting techniques such as bouncing light and soft light. This is what some of the images as shown above and below have used to achieve this dark harsh look to their images. This is what we are attempting to achieve when we shoot the performance.

Main Actor - Boxer - Josh Rosevear

This is going to be our main actor/character in our narrative and will be in all of the narrative scenes but he will not be in the performance scenes as we want to keep the two separate. This actor will be available for all of the different locations, as it will take about 3-5 different days of shooting to finish shooting the all of the scenes for the narrative of our video, this is because we want to make sure we have a range of different shots.

Secondary Actor - Trainer/Partner - Will Romain 

This is going to be our secondary (2nd main character) in our narrative of our music video. The actor that we have picked will fit the role as will our boxer, and he has said that he is available for all of the different days of the shoots that we will need him. The trainer will only need to be on 1-2 days of the shoots as he is no the main focus of the videos narrative.
