Saddleworth Moor

We are going to use Saddleworth moor for some of the memories and flashbacks as it is quite a secluded place with not many people around. We think this would work well as the couple in our video can be shown happy here with no one else around to interrupt or interfere with them. They will be shown being cute together and having fun here as though nothing else matters for example like in Calvin Harris and Elllie Gouldings I need your love shown below. The good views can also be used to make the video more aesthetically pleasing. 

The road up to Saddleworth moor can also be used in our video as it is a quiet road so will again show the couple together on their own being happy. Some of the performance shots will also be done here as there are no other distractions to take the audiences attention away from the singing.

Busy city

We are going to use a busy city centre such as Manchester as there will be many people, cars and lots of things going on. This will contrast with the shots done on Saddleworth moor and will show the couple being not as happy when other people are around and there are people to interfere with their relationship. 

We will speed up the shots done in the city centre to show time passing as the girl in the video is waiting for the boy to leave. The speeded up shots will represent this while also showing how busy the city is.

Cinema room

A room with a big cinema screen will be used for when the girl is watching her memories back. She will be watching memories of her relationship when they were happy together. There will be cuts throughout this to shots of clocks showing time passing as she is waiting for her boyfriend to leave. 

Car

We will use a car for some of the performance shots. Close ups of the girl singing in the car will be juxtaposed with long shots of the outside of the car to show the outside location aswell. We have taken inspiration from the music video Time by Chase an Status for this. 

These performance shots will be in between the memories to show her reflecting on them and the close ups will show her feelings and expressions towards these memories. This will tie together the memories with the lyrics and make the narrative make more sense for the audience. We will also film some shots in the wingmirror to add variety to our music video. 

Bedroom

The bedroom loacation will be used to show the couple changing clothes, this will be sped up to again like the busy city show time passing as they are waiting for the boy to leave. This will also show the couple together again.

Stage

We are going to use a stage with one spot light on the girl singing for our performance shots. This will be intergrated throughout the entire video with cuts to the performace shots the whole way through. This will show that the lyrics are important to the song and the narrative fits with the lyrics.
