1. Zara and charlie Location reccees for our video

2. Urban outfitters- Birmingham Wall in Digbeth Coffee shop- Alpha Café/ Starbucks Doorway In front of another wall in Digbeth Bus- Express bus ( easier to film on) Street Locations we plan to film in:

3. This is the urban outfitters in Birmingham town centre which is the one we plan to film in. Potential problems: Too busy and crowded. Not allowed to film inside. Could fall down the stairs. How we will overcome problems: We have permission from the store manager to film in store between 9-Noon, this way it will not be busy. Wear appropriate footwear and walk slowly. Urban outfitters

4. This wall is perfect for our video as it features two girls in and is quite indie. Potential problems: There is not much pavement and is a road right in front . May rain. There is a lamppost to the right which could ruin our shot. How we will overcome problems: Film at a quiet time ( 11am) so no cars are coming so we can stand in the road if necessary. Film on a day not forecasted to rain. Film close enough that the lamppost is not in shot. Wall in Digbeth

5. This wall is on a corner but has the contrasting colours so we decided to film on it. Problems: Wall is off a main road Cars Wind Solutions: Be careful on the corner as cars can come round the bend Don’t put the camera in the road, film from quite close 2 nd Wall in D igbeth

6. This is a potential coffee shop we may film in, however it doesn’t have an indie/ urban view it is quite modern so we aren't sure if we are going to film here. Problems: Busy Rain (as we need to film the outside from inside) Dark lighting How we will overcome problems: Visit at a quiet time Go on a day not scheduled to rain Make sure its sunny. Coffee shop- Starbucks

7. This is another café that we could film in, it is undercover and has good aesthetic inside. Problems: Busy Not getting permission to film Alpha café

8. For one of our scenes we are to film in front of a doorway that looks quite old. We also need to film our artist walking down a street and this one we have chosen is always quiet. Problems: Slippy Someone could open the door from behind Rain People walking infront of the camera How we will overcomes these issues Not stand directly in front of the door Go on a dry day Film in the day when moderately quiet Doorway/ street

9. In one of our scenes our character is on the bus, we need the bottom floor of the bus as it has risen seats and we have chosen the new 126 as it has grey interior and looks better than the old buses. Problems: Busy Too jerky and unsteady to film on How we will overcome the problems: The 126 is not usually busy during the day Also the route it takes has been refurbished so the road is flat so filming should be smooth. Bus

10. We have decided that all of our locations are a suitable place to film in apart from Starbucks, this is because its always quite busy and the view from the seats isn't very nice and wouldn’t look good in our video. However the alpha café has the perfect aesthetic and the view is better suited, we also have already been given permission from the owner of the building and even if it rains on the day we film that scene it wont be a problem as the café is undercover. From our location recces we have decided all of our locations have been chosen well and we can overcome any potential problems that could occur. Conclusion
