Analysis of Locations Used

Anaylsis of The Football Club Location
  • I think that using The Football Club as worked well within our music video as it's a small location and links well with the band as they have performed a lot of gigs there. It's a location that many indie/rock bands use to perform gigs to their fans.
  • As this is the bands first music video (or the first music video by us) we thought that by placing them in their usual environment would be a good idea as it meant that they would be able to relax more and not have to worry about being somewhere new.
  • Although inside The Football Club is quite small, it manages to hold a lot of people which was good as it meant that the band could perform to an actual audience, showing not only the bands reaction to the audience, but the audiences reaction to the band. Having a large audience also meant that we could use their reaction to the band's music within our video.

Analysis of The Magnet Pub Location
  • When we first began filming at the pub location the band were a bit hesitant, and came across as quite tense as they were unaware of what we wanted them to do. However, they soon grasped what this was, as we wanted them to be themselves and act exactly how they would normally act when they are together, not performing.
  • The use of The Magnet Pub meant that we could create a narrative to match the lyrics as it had everything we needed, a bar with drinks and glasses, tables and chairs, and a pool table - which are all mentioned in the lyrics.
  • Personally if we hadn't used the location of a pub, and had only used a performance, I don't think that the music video would have worked as well as it did.
