One of the most important things in the music video is the choice of the location. As my idea includes some locations with wide fields, as the connotation of freedom. The use of sunshine and warm tones also is a connotation of happiness. As I will use a lot of slow motion and blurred shots, the mix of those two connotes it is most likely a memory that TA is looking at.
I have done some primary research into the location.
On the 1st of October I went on the prison hill, to see if I can get lens flare around 5pm.
Those are the results of the trial. Also showing the actual area around.
I have chosen it not just because the sun will reach the hill and give a perfect light even over the trees, but also it is empty, green and looks different. Makes an impression of freedom, the beauty of nature and also the city buildings in the background. Being so close to civilization and humanity but at the same time in your own, 'happy place'. Spaciousness also gives me the ability to film from different angles, move the camera widely to create lens flare and to show the beauty of the place.
Although I am planning to do lens flare, over the shoulder shots with the toddler, however I still wanted to try it out to look what would be the result.
As the child will be much shorter than a grown up man, this means my camera will be angled much lower down, which is exactly what I have tried here.
Empty frame shots, just nature here, connotation of freedom and happiness again.
Also planning to show some shots of the city, in order to emphasize how being up here is like being in another world, that my main character was into while had her toddler with her.
