Pre-production: Locations

4) I will touch down on our locations organised between our Location Manager Mark, and the performance captured within them.
Park – In the park we have a lead male and female looking happy and in-love in the park. They will share a picnic together and this will symbolise the inner thoughts of the guy kidnapping his female crush.
While in a second scene is where he drags from her car into the park, where no one can hear her and have moment alone. The girl will be tied up and distressed from the distorted motives to relish her of human cruelty and brutality.  
       
         

Home environment- in this space will be only using an empty living room space with a bed and the floor and not much any other furniture. This is where he takes the girl after kidnapping her on her way home, into this dull and derelict living room.
Townscapes- This is what will video while his driving his car, the camera will positioned looking out of the window, through the town he has captured her too, while passing couples, and families oblivious to the villain that passes through their streets, as he is holding ‘soul mate’ in the back of the boot.
Bedroom- The bedroom will belong Phil who is unhealthy love-struck by a girl in his sixth form. In this bedroom will compile an array of photographs taken in secret of her consuming a bedroom wall. This is one of the more uncomfortable and creepy scenes, as the audience will understand the extent of his desire to possess her, which he has built a shrine for in his home.
Classroom- This is where the obsession and the desire to own the so-called love of his life into kidnap for his own desires. So it is the classroom where there share lessons and stares at her from a distance. Considering he doesn’t notice him at all, he is almost nonexistent to him, more or less invincible. Therefore what waits for her she would have never seen it coming, although, his textbooks and his bedroom compiles pictures and hearts with each other’s name in the middle.  
Motorway- This is when he finally stops driving and we see him drag her out the boot into the park for the final scenes.
Starbucks- he stalks her and her friends on the girls day out and watches her and her daily routine.
I do consider the theme and drama behind our idea can be overwhelming from an outside perspective, and if someone were to watch our female lead dragged from a car boot. This could lead to panic and obvious worry and dangers of our actions. Therefore, we must consider the time of day that we film, that no one is concerned with the role play behind our scenes. Perhaps, if we were to titled our clothing like a true production crew. For example, 'Filming' or 'Film project' on the back of clothing. Someone watching us film scenes like that in the general public, will understand their is no harm and that is purely performance and no real hurt between our actors.

An additional point would be the people that are extras, we must ensure the extras casted in our classroom are willing participants, so that no one is made uncomfortable, forced, or unknowingly involved in filming are notified of our motives for the music video.
