Preliminary visuals for location in our music video

One of our scene ideas for the ghost
We thought about filming some of the ghost scenes in Oxleas wood as it is local and easy to get to. We want to do it when there's a lot of sun about so we will have to do most of it in the day tie as we want to have sun glare shining in to the camera and for the nice weather to give it a happy, light spirited feel. We also wanted to contrast this open, natural scene with the enclosed and unnatural environment in which the band will be playing in during the performance scenes in the video.

Another scene idea for the haunting
We also thought about having the ghost and its masked friends creating havoc in Dartford skatepark as it is a place where alternative people hang out, engaging in skating activities. We thought that we could use some people that we know to skate on the half pipe and the ghost and masked people would interrupt them and over power them so that they could convert them into one of them, but in a light hearted way.
Supermarket for the ghosts and masked people to run around
For one of the scenes in our music video, we will have the ghost leading the masked people around the aisles in a supermarket, scaring customers and creating general havoc. Though we will have to ask permission in the shop first so that we won't get into trouble but we won't tell the customers so that we can get a genuine reaction from them.
Band in a garage
For the performance attribute in the music video, we are going to have the band playing in Matthew's garage as he already has instruments set up there due to him being in a band called Your Life in Ruins. Its shows the low budget and indie aspect of the song and video. Matthew has some inappropriate curtains hanging in the back drop which don't match the genre so we have decided to get sheet or canvas to paint with bright colours to correlate with the genre.

House/kitchen 
We were thinking of shooting some shots in a house where the lead singer goes about his day to day activities, for example pouring juice. Then the hauntings will appear through the glass of juice.

Car park in Dartford retail park
We are going to set some of the music video in Dartford retail car park as it is near to the skatepark so easily accessible. We want to have the ghost and masked people pushiong the lead singer around in a trolley, taunting him, in a humourous way.
