MORE INFO ON WHY WE ARE USING THE SKATEPARK AND TWO VIDEOS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED ARE PRODUCTION

Location - Hethersett Skate park (Summertime, Afternoon)

Here is the location for our video, Hethersett Skate Park. This will provide a contrast to other skateboarding videos, which use larger skateparks, as well as add a layed of humour with the sheep in the background. We will use the jump box (picture 3) for the band to perform and use the the ramps in pictures 1 and 4 for high angle shots. We may use the kicker, picture 2, for skating tricks to add to the video.






We are using skateboarding in our video as it ties in with the 'Boys in Motion' title and is used in music vidoes aimed at our target audeince. Music video's such as Lostprophets 'Shinobi Vs Dragon Ninja' and Sum 41 with 'Fat Lip' both use skateboarding throughout. These bands many have have a slightly different genre, but still target the same audience that we plan to with the Blighters. Video's such as these show that skateboarding appeals to the target audience, which we hope to use to our advantage.

Another use for using skateboarding in our music video is also to keep the interest of the audience. If we were to use just live performance, then the audience would lose interest before the video has finished. When we introduce skateboarding tricks and shots into the video, it should help to keep the audience awake! Like the shots in the Lostprophets video, we want to use a lot of slow motion, as this is effective to the music and has a great contrast with the fast pace shots shown when the band perform.

Furthermore, the use of skateboarding can be used during the narrative to connote certain lines of the song. Lines such as "Better get used to being lonely", we would shoot the lead skater on his own at the empty skatepark. Furthermore, the 'soldier' in this song will be the skateboarder.

Another location that we intend to use is my house for any of the stop motion filming. Video's which we have done already, the bed scene and the Post-it clip, were filmed at my house when getting used to stop motion filming.
