The document proposes three locations for shooting a music video: 1) A harbor for establishing shots that connect to the song's lyrics and theme of peacefulness. 2) Looking through a train window to illustrate an emotional journey of leaving the past. 3) An empty indoor car park that creates a sense of loneliness through its large empty space and vertical lighting.

The harbour shall be a perfect location for close up/long shots of the harbour itself, water and my actor in this location. These types of shots are often used in the genre of acoustic music videos because they connote peacefulness the natural environment and also help to clearly establish the setting of the music video. This location shall also be extremely fitting for my chosen song which is called 'The Boat' so this quite clearly is linking visuals with the lyrics which is one of Goodwin's principles.
I think another effective location for a few short shots would be looking through a train/car window. I have chosen this as a location to film because the idea of looking through the window as it is travelling represents leaving the old and moving towards the future and also it could illustrate the emotional journey that the artist is singing about. This shall also be a very visually exciting shot for the viewer.
I have access to an unused indoor car park. I think that this shall make an interesting location as the vertical bar lighting creates a very large space and with it being empty shall be very effective for a scene where the actor is standing there alone, showing the loneliness that the song portrays about himself.
I shall also use the location of a small bedroom for some of the scenes. Before filming I shall organise the room to look very basic without many belongings apart from a few ‘reminder objects’ of his past love who he is singing about in the song.
