Location Shots






We used a pier near Putney Bridge as one of the main locations where our artist will be filmed and also our artist will carry a photo shoot here for the digipak. We plan to filmed for two days in this location because we want to use the different areas for different scenes in our product. Putney Pier is an ideal place for filming because it has view Putney Thames, modern and old buildings and a modern bar that looks like it's also a restaurant. The fact that it has a Thames I think is better for us because I think we can then film her looking out and singing at the same time to bring the scenery involved as well as her. We can film certain shots of our artists such as a mid shot of her looking out at the water. The scenery is really beautiful which is better because it can make our product look more classy and well presented.






We also plan to use Putney Park as another main area for our product because we can involve the couple waling in the park and sitting for example on a bench or on the floor for a picnic. Also we can use this location as another area for a photo shoot for the digipak because of the scenery in the trees. Furthermore, we can use this location for cutaways in the plants or of the couple just sitting or walking.

In this park you can see the view of the Thames which I thought can be useful as we can also film for example a close up of our artist singing and looking out at the scenery (the Thames) as I think it would be ideal have her looking out the Thames in a different location. It can also link well with the other scenes such as in the Pier as her body language will be similar which can be used to move from scene to another.

Plannning Skills & Locations



As we were planning our music video, we planned what skills we would have to use and skills we would have to practice to shoot our music video. Also what locations we used use in the music video to see if it represents for example tension or healing.


Record Label




We chose Decca Records as our record label, which will represent our Kirstie Mayweather, our artist. The reason we Decca Records was because of the fact its a British record label and because it discovers talent in areas like pop. Also the way it brings people from different areas in pop shows it quite diverse in the music they distribute. Our artist is not the average lively pop artist, she's different to that and we saw the artists that are signed to Decca and we believed that she fitted more into this category because none of these artists are the same as others artists in the same genre of music.

About Decca:
The name “Decca” dates back to a portable gramophone called the “Decca Dulcephone” patented in 1914 by musical instrument makers Barnett Samuel and Sons. That company was eventually renamed The Decca Gramophone Co. Ltd. and then sold to former stockbroker Edward Lewis in 1929. Within years Decca Records Ltd. was the second largest record label in the world, calling itself “The Supreme Record Company”. The name “Decca” was coined by Wilfred S. Samuel by merging the word “Mecca” with the initial D of their logo “Dulcet” or their trademark “Dulcephone.”

Decca Records is a British record label established in 1929 by Edward Lewis.
