Location Idea- The Graffiti Tunnel

Looking at the photos of the band, I have noticed how well they suited the graffiti tunnel on Leake Street.





As the tunnel is relatively close we started looking at the possibility of using it as the location of the performance element of the music video. As the tunnel is a minute walk from Waterloo Station it would be easy for the band members to get there. It would also mean that we would only have to take one car which would carry the equipment.  As the walk is so short from the parking it means we will easily be able to move the equipment. We have also taken into account that there may not be any parking spaces the day we we want to film. In this case, we are able to park on the other side of the road for 15 minutes, in which time we will be able to transport all the equipment to the tunnel. After this I will drive to a car park which is located 3 minutes away from this entrance to the tunnel.



This has allowed us to see how long we need to set aside for getting to the location.This time will be even shorter for our band members as the majority of them live much closer to Waterloo, then myself, Marc and Amy




Unfortunately, this location does not give us any natural light, which is conventional for Post-Hardcore music video. In order to balance this out we have made sure that sections of our music video will include natural light. As well as this, we have no access to electricity meaning  our lighting is restricted to the lights in the tunnel and our outdoor lighting kit, which probably will not be strong enough and will run out of battery before we finish filming. When we go to the photo shoot with our artist we will able to see whether the lighting in the tunnel will be sufficient for recording our music video
