Location

The main location that I used throughout my music video was Cannock Chase, this was because i thought it was a great open landscape that suited my idea well. I wanted a vast wooded area where there were no houses or people to be seen as I just wanted my sister Teagan to be alone in the video. This would create the creepy effect of a young girl alone in the woods that i wanted to achieve. During the time of filming it started snowing, this could of been a real problem due to continuity, as the snow would be in certain shots and then melted away in others. However as the snow kept on falling I decided to shoot some of my video on the chase in the snow. I thought this would put a nice effect of scary snowy images of the woodland in my music video. 

For the other location I filmed in a child's bedroom and the upstairs landing at my nans house. I chose to film here as I wanted a long narrow landing for Teagan to walk up, so that it could look similar to 'The Shining'. I wanted a contrast of her looking young and innocent in the pink child's bedroom and then looking more evil and sinister down the narrow landing as it is in 'The Shining'. I also liked the lighting at my nans house as it was soft in the bedroom which matches the sweet young girl and then bold spotlights shining down onto the girl as she turns more evil.

The final location that I used was my back garden at home and the little woods that run behind it. I chose to film here because it was a bit different to the other locations and it would let the viewer see a different piece of scenery. I didn't originally plan to film here but when I started to edit my video I realised I hadn't got enough footage to last the whole length of the song. On the other hand this was a close by and handy location that worked well and suited my theme for my music video.
