LOCATION SHOTS

Here is a slideshow of the location shots we all took in advance of shooting our music video.


The first few shots are filled with nature, a common convention of locations in music videos for both actors as well as the performing artist/band; the first couple with a long walkway which we wanted for the acting veteran soldier to walk through and the third a sadly unused shot of a memorial statue in Windsor which we as a group went on a trip to in order to scout possible locations for shooting our music video. We had originally wanted to try and shoot with Windsor castle in the background but unfortunately after asking security found that it would be a difficult and likely unsuccessful venture even after asking and waiting to see if we had permission from the press office headquarters.

The fourth and fifth photos are of the large World War I memorial site in Stockwell with pictured Violette Szabo, poppies, famous lines from a Laurence Binyon poem etc. We checked out locations with memorial sites and names on them so as not to rely on stock footage for direct reminders of the war and have present day signs of remembrance. The following photos run along the same theme of possible nature locations for our band to perform, engraved names of deceased soldiers, and stone wall memorials.
