Location Research

Location Research:

MEN Arena:
Victoria Station, Hunts Bank, Manchester M3 1AR

This was only a location due to gaining live footage from here of Liam Gallagher performing our chosen song of Wonderwall to attempt to include it in the final product.

Smith's field:
Sylvan Ave, Timperley, Sale M33 3UW

Smith's field was picked as a location due to it being close to a tram line as well as having key artificial and urban features helping us display our binary oppositions between working class and upper classes with location and setting. It helped bring about conventions too because of these distinguishing features.


Balmoral Road:
Balmoral Road, Altrincham, WA15 8HJ

Again this was picked to display urban qualities with it being in a secluded back street and looking like a typical urban area. Brick wall and long wall helps exaggerates this as most shots will include this.

King George's Lake:

Timperley, Altrincham WA15 8WF

The final location is rural and picturesque to help portray the binary opposition as best as we can between rural and urban. Qualities of a water front and a forest helps this. Bright and vibrant area too showing a better life contrasting from a dull urban area helping our narrative of binary opposition. It also helps us display the mysterious girl being hard to get to due to class status and her having a better life.

 


This post was conducted in order to show reasons for these locations to be used listed above. It also tells me what benefits we will gain and how it will help portray the narrative and conventions in the music video.
