We thought about going to Paris for a day trip as this is romantic place for couples to go and would be easy for us to show a relationship as their are many sights. However this would be very costly for us as we would need to pay for flights there and back as none of us drive to be able to travel there on the Eurostar. Another reason we didnt choose Paris is because we would need to know where we were going to be able to get all of the filming done in a short space of time as we wouldnt be able to return.
Thorpe Park
Although this would be easy for us to access as we could get the train there we wouldnt be able to do much filming apart from queuing for rides and we didnt think this was the best way to show a couple. Again Thorpe Park is quite faraway from Harlow so this would mean we would need to be there for the opening and there till the closing of the park so that we get as much filming done as possible.
Regents Park - Bike Ride - Field
Depending on the weather will determine whether we go for a bike ride or not. When researching we saw that in the Park there is a bike hire so we would be able to go and hire the bikes after we had been around the zoo. However as a back up plan we decided that if we couldnt find the bike hire then we would go to the Barclays bike hire and rent the bikes through that as couples on a bike ride would be seen as 'cute' and 'romantic'. We also needed a field that we could film in, we had many options that we could use to do this but as we thought Regents Park would be good as the Park would be massive and we didnt want anyone in the background so we knew that we would be able to film without any interference of other people.
Pets Corner - Harlow
Although Pets Corner is easy for us to access and we would be able to return there whenever we needed to. However, Pets Corner looks slightly dated and is a lot smaller compared to the other zoo's that we have looked at, so we wouldnt be able to take a lot of clips if we decided to film there. Another reason that we didn't use Pets Corner to film was because there isn't a lot there and as we wanted different sceneries to film our clips in.
The Beach
As the song is called 'Wouldn't it be nice' by The Beach Boys we did consider doing some of our filming at a beach which would have to be Southend as that is the closest one to us and is the most accessible. But because we are going to be filming in the half term next week and its october the weather isn't really what we need for a beach scene. There isn't much we could do to film on a beach as we wouldnt be able to look like like it was summer in trunks and bikini's as it would be way too cold for this.
Boat trip
Although a boat trip would be nice to do we dont have a boat that we could use and dont know anyone who has one so this has proved impossible for us. If we asked to hire one we would need to find a driver who would be able to drive us all day until we had completed our filming and we would also need to pay the driver and for the hire of the boat and we don't have the kind of money to be able to do this.
London Zoo
Although we would need to travel to London for this, we found that London Zoo was one of the easiest locations that we could access as we could travel up on the trains early. Another reason we thought of London Zoo for one of our locations to film was because we had looked at prices of the tickets to get in the Zoo and they seemed reasonable as we would be in there the majority of the day filming. Another reason we thought London Zoo would be good for us would be because there are a lot of locations in the zoo that we would be able to use for different scenes of our music video.
After discussing the locations we decided that London Zoo and Regents Park would be best to show what we want in our music video. But on the day we will need to ensure that we get the job done as we won't be able to return if and when we want to.
