Location

We have chosen to use the school stage as location due to the options this will give us. We will be able to choose and utilize a range of lighting which which will allow us to create a visually interesting video. The stage is also plenty big and spacious enough for our dancers to be able to perform which will help us significantly while filming. We chose to use this as this stage as been used many times for dance shows and will have the resources for our lighting as well as a way to project a stained glass window effect on the back of the stage. The school stage is also very accessible to both Steph and I and also to our dancers and performers that are appearing in our video. As we all attend this school we are able to film after school with ease and we also know we are in a safe and secure environment for filming.

Change Of Location

As presented in our pitch Steph and I were originally considering/basing our idea on using a Church as our primary location for filming. Due to setbacks with this idea, Steph and I have decided to create still a performance video, however changing the setting to on stage with professional lighting. Many aspects of our idea remain the same; we will still be using "Bows" and "Freya Tamsin" as our dancers and artist, still be using the indie song "Take Me To Church" and will be using a church setting theme within the stage setting-we aim to achieve this by lighting techniques.

Our audience feedback was very helpful to us within making this decision, the problems raised especially about lighting in the Church, are all valid points which enabled Steph and I to re-consider our plan. We are also not totally discounting the idea of the Church, who we are currently working with to understand what we can and can not film. The aim now regarding the Church is to look around the Church and possibly take some photos enabling us to gain authentic inspiration for the look we would like to create on stage. Our overall research and planning into the indie genre has allowed us to make this change without having to drastically change our idea. We intend for our video to benefit from this idea as we believe this setting change will allow us to create a more professional looking video. Steph and I are equally as excited and enthusiastic about our new video, as due to our research we feel this will still fit to the indie genre and hopefully look effective.
