Location, actors and props

The first and most obvious place that we are going to film is in and around the nandos restaurant in Stevenage, this will be okay as long as we get their permission.

Our locations after this will vary very widely. As our song is a parody we can almost film anywhere as our video can be as random as we want it to be. I have an idea of filming in a park and using a roundabout for a good effect.

Another location that I we have thought as a group would be good for our music video is to leave our camera in a chicken coop for a few hours. We would the bring it out and when we got to the editing stage we could speed it right up so it looks like the chickens are just dashing about.

I also thought that we could film in town and with a little help from a chicken suit we can film peoples reactions as we secretly film as the person in the chicken suit does random things.

New idea:

Because of having to change our music video and song our location for filming has completely changed. As the song is about a boy and a girl who are going out, and the girl does no longer want to be with the boy we are going to show them on just an everyday day walking along and showing what happens. The boy is happy but it is clear that the girl isnt.

Our first location is of a restaurant where it shows through the window or inside the couple arguing and then the girl storms out of the restaurant with the boy chasing out after her and grabbing her arm as they walk down a well lit street. The girl shrugs him off and she continues to walk off into the distance whilst the we show the boy just standing still watching her walk away from him.

Our next location is of an everyday place like the boys bedroom where we show him upset about the ordeal, whereas we show the girl (in a splitscreen) having a good time out on a date with someone else whilst the girl and the boy are on a break.

Location Shots

Below are some pictures of the areas that we have filmed in at the moment, some of the images are missing as we forgot to take a stills camera with us at the time that we were film but we will upload those images very soon.

























Actors

It has been very difficult to get the 'right actors for the job' during filming as it was either our group that was busy at the time that the actors could act or vica-verca so this left us with no choice for me to act in it along with another girl. It also meant that Olly (another member of our group).

Props

The major prop that we used during the filming stage was my car. The reason for this was because we needed a scene where we could show the boy on his own showing emotion that it wasn't going well with his girlfriend and he didn't know what was going to happen.

Our Artist

The Nites consist of Anthony (vocals) and Michael (guitar), two guys from South London, who met in 2004 and started gigging the acoustic circuit in and around London. Two guitars and a beat up amp, did them proud and helped them to gradually build up a close following, but after playing cover after cover, they now write and perform their own songs.
