We began to brainstorm the locations we could use for our music video, then we would be able to visage the scene better. The derelict room which would host the performance part of the video was suggested to be my garage, a clear space, breeze block walls and perfect space to decorate accordingly. We then thought of gritty places which would compliment the ambiance of the video we had in mind. The locations will need to embody and illustrate the urban nature of our track.

Battersea Powerstation - An iconic, yet not popular London location which is eye catching, dramatic and beautifully derelict, outside and inside. We would have to request permission to film inside however shots from the outside would not create a problem.

Hackney Rd. - Perfect for night time shots, a bridge which could be utilized for interesting shots and has the grittiness and edginess.

Leake St. - Known for its amazing and unique graffiti, this underground tunnel is perfect for shooting our video, it will give provide dynamic and interesting Mise en scene effortlessly. Here are some photographs of Leak St. i took on a visit last year which display its atmosphere

His photo stream consists of a lost of shots of a Holga camera, the light achieved through a Holga camera is vibrant and would be the type of effect we would want some of our video to have. Here are two examples.

Graffiti has typical connotations to the urban scene and would relate to many of our target audience, it also mirrors the track and compliments his an aggressive mood

There are over 600 deer and Stags wild in Richmond Park, you are able to get up reasonably close to the animals, and them running would make for beautiful shots. These photographs are of the deer in Richmond Park by
