Locations

To begin with we decided to film at Carlton Road due to discovering that there was an abandoned college which overlooked the city creating a strong urban image. However after doing a shoot at this location we were disappointed since we believed that there was more graffiti and damage to the area, making the place link to other Indie music videos. A photo of this location is shown below:

Therefore after this shoot we decided to change location as it didn't meet the needs of the typical Indie Genre, so we decided to film at 'The Recording Studio' at Saint Annes where it has more graffiti and a more professional appearance for the artists.

The image above reveals how we have used a recording booth in order to create a professional image of the artists as well as keeping the urban feel as this is what attracts Ed Sheeran's audience since this location has graffiti walls which we used for our CD cover. 

This image above reveals the amount of graffiti which was available at Carlton Road, therefore the image below appears more striking and appealing to the audience due to the close up shot and the colourful background.

Here we decided to link the artists in the narrative which is an effect that Ed Sheeran uses in 'A Team' as in the photo above the actress playing the role of the prostitute walks back the artists as they have just left the recording studio after filming. Therefore by showing the recording studio sign it shows how they have just finished recording the song 'Little Lady' but it still creates the illusion of the narrative.
