Locations Used in Indie Rock Music Videos

Me and Jess decided that we needed to have an idea as to where we would have our music video located. 

Therefore, I had looked into some possible places that I thought would be good for the video. 

I looked at different images of pubs, homes, streets.

I though these type of locations would be more suitable because of the mise en scene, lighting and effects of an indie Rock music video as they are quite quirky, the location of a music video are very important as it creates the mood and scene of the narrative. For example; an indie video is more likely to be somewhere urban and fairly lower class, where the characters seem like they would be seen there, in bars, streets, rough homes, as if they come from rough backgrounds and the location also creates the character’s profile. Stereotypically that is what is represented when talking about indie rock music videos. Indie Rock artists are mainly represented as being lonely or damaged than others as they give the deep, emotional lyrics in their songs. However, some lyrics have behind meanings as if the artist doesn’t care.

I did some research into where indie rock videos are typically produced; from my research I gathered that as I said before the main places that indie music videos are produced are quite scruffy pubs, the back streets etc.

In our music video there is also a scene where we need to be in a house, therefore we asked Jess’ friend Beth if we could have permission to film in her home as she has the floor plan that me and Jess decided would be best on our story board.

We need a gate or fence where the main character and her boyfriend need to climb over, here we could possibly use the school site or the park just down the road.

For the scenes which includes the main actor stealing a pregnancy test we can as for permission to use the local corner shop.
