Location

The story behind the lyrics are nothing more than a girl within a station observing all the people she sees on the platform.

Our initial idea was we need to feature a station at somepoint throughout the video, as we cannot ignore the obvious links made within the lyrics.
However, using the inside of a station would pose problems for this, as we would have to consider train staff, commuters and background noise- which on a bad day could be horrific.

We then came to the decision that we should have our 'actor' (posing as artist) to e standing simply outside the station for a fraction of time, to simply state the station's presence but if outside we are not interferring with the maintenance and daily tribulations of a station.

When commenting on the different people throughout the song ' woman with a baby' etc.. We have decided that we will provide these characters ourselves (actors) and have them positioned on a street within a town centre. The ''artist'' will be walking casually commenting on the people she witnesses.

We feel that with the correct camera angles and editing this video will be simple yet effective.

We have decided that it would be a better decision to shoot some scenes around our school purely for the advantage of time management. We had taken some test shots outside to make sure the picture quality is not grainy or anything that will affect the overall appearance of our music video.

Watch this video to see our location shot pictures, and some test shots for our music video
