location ideas for music video.

We want to emphasise the fact that our band are british as a way of appealing to audiences. Norwich is not very well known in the british music industry but the use of regional accents and using home locations has done well for bands such as The Kooks (from Brighton), The Arctic Monkeys (from Sheffield) and Oasis (from Manchester).
Despite this we don't want our music video looking like a tourism home video or too mainstream. We want our video to reflect the urban/underground roots of the Ska genre and therefore will also shoot in places that appeal to alternative music fans, such as around Anglia Square's graffitti and The Forum carpark.

Significant places in norwich or cultural signifiers we could use are:

The Norwich Cathedral



The Castle Museum



The Forum



The Norwich Market



We also want places in norwich that represent the music scene, such as:

Sound Clash



Norwich Arts Center



Places that reflect the urban/alternative Ska genre:

The Forum carpark

Anglia Square



This planning map from google shows the way our locations are in walking distance from each other and our all around Norwich city center. This is useful for us as it means we don't have to arrange transport to and from our locations.



Other Location Details:

The graffitti in Anglia Square has recently been painted over so we plan to ask permission to draw our own graffitti with a pen that will wash off with water.

We need to be very careful when filming our cast skateboarding down The Forum carpark and plan to do this early in the morning when it is not busy as it could otherwise be very dangerous. One member of our group will also look out for cars that are turning in.

We will also need to ask Norwich Art Center for permission to film Jake walking in and out as this may take a few takes and could disturb the people inside.
