Our first location is the centre of York, and in particular down the river. The song has a lot of nautical themes in it and we wanted to keep a visual link with the water. Also the narrative in the lyrics are of a long distance relationship breaking up. So we thought that using two location would work nicely to iterate the two separate places the relationship took place.
We also decided to film in the Museum Gardens under the arches of the ruins. This gives the video a triptych feel and will link with what we have planned at the other location. If anything the decision to film here is mainly compositional and ties n with the fact that it is filmed right next to where the narrative filming will take place along the river.
Scarborough
We also decided to film at scarborough, due to the nautical references in the song lyrics we felt a seaside location was appropriate. Because we will be visiting scarborough during November the beach will most likely be empty and the weather overcast. This is good however because the song talks about a break up and declining relationship so we want the mood of this part of the video to be bleak and lonely, and an empty overcast wet beach gives this impression in just the way we want. However there are positive moments in the song during the narrative of the video the relationships good times are being remembered and so we can capture some nicer lighter moment possibly in arcades and at some areas along the beach.
We also found these huts, again this follows the triptych compositional idea of having the three members of the band in these three separate but visually similar places. I feel that this links the two locations visually as we are going to cut between the two, so the band will be present at both times of the narrative, as if they are spectator to the relationship the entire time.
