Conception and needs:
From our story boards we evaluated what sets would need to be used, so we got together and formed a list of what we would need, this includes:- A spacious white room
- An outdoors area with table and chairs
- A large area, enough for two people to throw objects at one another
- A room with a couch and Tv
- A room with large table
- A room with a door we have access to both sides of
- A confined black room
- A bedroom
Our main problem lay in finding a spacious white room. We wanted the white room to represent the middle ground, the dream sequences take up most of the video so we wanted to make it clear when the audience wasn't viewing one. The video also has a theme of singling the band members out, which will be done in the smll black room. By showing the two in contrast we would show all the band members in shots with white while the single members in shots with black, creating a stark contrast. We simply couldn't find a white room spacious enough to accomodate a full band setup.
Tolethorpe hall: Band shots
After analyzing our ideas thoroughly, thinking about costume and imagery we wanted to use a plain white room for band shots, we didn't have a good idea of what place would provide us with this in a well lit environment, Eddie however suggested we book to use Tolethorpe hall, since she used to be a part of the drama groups that run there. Thankfully we were allowed use the grounds for filming for a day; Thursday the 14th of November from 9 am - 4pm. After scouting the venue we decided to use the orangery, a wide open room with a lot of large windows, allowing light to flood the room. The room was also almost entirely white, making for exactly what we want. Sadly there are no picture of the Orangery online.
The grounds at Tolethrope should hopefully also make for some good shots of the narrative as it has a wide range of colour schemes and serene imagery.
Ben Thorogood's house: Narrative
For the narrative we decided to use my house since it facilitates alot of the sets we could use. For example, seeing as all the equipment in it will be cleared out for the sake of filming, the spare room will be empty allowing us to use it as a home studio. This gives us total control of the colour scheme and lighting. We hope to use this room for solo band member shots. I also have a pergola in my back garden that has a very distinct greek look to it, especially when lit up in an orange glow like how we have set up. This should get us the lady and the tramp scenes looking good. My lounge will serve as where the nerd and punk dream sequences play out. My dining room will be the second nerd dream sequence. My downstairs hall will be a good place for the couple to have their fight. overall my house just has everything we'd need to have to be able to film efficiently.
