Production locations (stills)

We looked around an area surrounded by bins and thought that we could show someone sitting in a high viz jacket as if they were someone who would be collecting the rubbish. We would have filmed this on a rainy or overcast day to represent that this isn't a nice job to do.

 

We our sofa in front of 6 monitors all showing the famous television artist Bob Ross.

 

We set the sofa in the middle of this screen array and planned to have someone sit on it and look like they had no idea as to what was going on in the room.

We also filmed in a skate park with an actual skater showing off various tricks in front of the sofa, and also showing off some of the graffiti on the ramps. We thought this would give the representation of teens being bad like some people do, as it associates with vandalism.

 

The stage was also a good area to film as it gave the music video a pantomime element to it especially with the curtains opening and closing, revealing the sofa and those on it.

Here we have more production stills from filming our music video

Here are some of the new locations:

Smoking scene: We set up our sofa in an area surrounded by a cage that people usually play sports in or just hang around. We thought this would be suitable for a smoking scene where people are just hanging around on a sofa in there normal environment. We were just able to fit 4 people on one sofa to make them look clustered together and have a tighter friendship between the four of them.

 The next one was when we were filming with the sofa in the middle of the road on a crossing island. This was probably the most dangerous of all the shots that we took as we were filming very close to the road and even on it. We made sure that the sofa was in an area where it could be seen from all angles so drivers could see it early on, not that it was a hazard but just so they knew what was going on.
