We are currently looking and 2 new locations to film our video at, incase there is bad weather on the day of the film because this would mean we would be unable to use Wells as the location...
The two new locations are the abandoned army accomadation buildings at Wicken Green, Fakenham and a barn in Kettlestone...

British Film: Robin Hood
The film is about Robin Hood and his band of merry men who confront corruption in a local village set in 13th century England. Robin and his men lead an uprising against the monarchy that will forever alter the balance of power.
This relates to Britain in that it is re-telling British history.
The main characters in the film all have different nationalities. Russel Crowe - New Zealand, Cate Blanchett - Australian, Mark Strong - British.
Robin Hood is directed by British director Ridley Scott, his other films are Black Hawk Down, Hannibal, Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator.
The style of the film is set in the past in Olde England to retell the story. Robin Hood belongs to the genre of action adventure and drama. The film was financed by Universal Pictures based in the USA founded in 1912 and was also promoted and distributed by Universal Pictures using trailers and adverts.

Questionnaire
Richard created a questionnaire on the internet. We have been sending a link to our target audience (16 - 24 year olds) and we are currently waiting for more of a response to get reasonable feed back which will influence our video...
Filming Schedule
This Schedule that Richard put together, it will give us an idea of time and how long it should take us to film, and what to do in those certain hours. The actual date of filming is not a hundred percent due to uncertainty about the weather but it should hopefully be filmed in the coming weeks.

Location
On September 19th, Richard went to Wells-Next-The-Sea to see if he could see anywhere that we could use to film. He took these pictures of possible locations to use in our music video.
Equipment List/Props
Here is a list of equipment we will need for filming:
- Camera
- Guitar x 2
- Bass Guitar
- Drum Kit
- Microphone
- Microphone Stand
- Tripod
- Lighting (we will only be able to use lighting if we can get hold of a generator so lighting is a maybe at this point)
Props: we do not have a set list of props, we will just gather bits and pieces together as we plan to use on the day...
Location...
The original location that we were going to use (St George's Church, Norwich) can no longer be used as it is closed on the days we were planning to film on. To overcome this problem, we had a brainstorming session and came up with the woods at Wells-Next-The-Sea which is now where we will do our filming...
Lyrical Analysis
- THIS IS WHAT I PUT TOGETHER BEFORE WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LOCATION.
Band are getting ready to play. Shot of the floor poster saying And The Winner Is… At (Name of Place) foot steps on it and the music starts to play. Connor walking to the building footsteps in time with music. At 4 seconds he is in the doorway back to camera in focus, band are in the distance as the drums come in the band jumps they land as the guitars come in.
Up to 28 seconds their are shots representing the band close ups of faces instruments, doll shots. Changing shots with tints of colour and fit with the beat of the song.
Time is calling and I am waiting,
Connor in the background singing clock in the foreground in focus OR shot of connor looking at his watch OR shot of Peter playing the guitar in focus and then focus on the microphone that is in the foreground as Connor moves up to it.
No sense of anticipation, Its underwhelming(Its underwhelming),
Connor is singing close up, when it gets to the 38 seconds the camera changes shot suddenly so it further back to give an effect of an echo.
The clocks been brewing up a storm,
Clock on the floor pan up to show band playing.
For so long now I don't care what its for,
Close up of Connor until ‘what’ and it changes to a close up Thomas playing full body shot.
Long shot showing the whole band until the drums were it changes shot to show Jack playing them
And I'm still wearing the same old shoes,
Shoes tapping or running or jumping to the beat, camera tilted up to show Harry and Thomas on the other side.
Tracing my steps, pacing the same old rooms,
Close up of Connor’s microphone, with him in shot. OR shot of connor trashing a small room, throwing furniture etc
And I'm still staying in all night,
Harry and Thomas playing full body shot to individual close ups
Chasing the same old ghosts i'll never find,
Close up of drums and then a close of Connor as his voice fades pull camera away OR pan up
Cause i've been behind the glass,
Long shot and then jumps forward to match with the beat of the song. And then to the drums
Watching every scene stand up tall, then don't fall fast,
Close up of Connors eyes. Full body shot of him jolting down with the beat of the song.
Reflections seem so simple, when you can't ask,
Mirror that is tilted to show the band playing. Close up of peter.
A matter of hope that can never last,
A pan around Connor and then pull away at last.
Jack hitting the drums at 1 min 42 seconds
And I'm still wearing the same old shoes,
Tracing my steps, pacing the same old rooms,
And I'm still staying in all night,
Chasing the same old ghosts i'll never find,
Step after step,
shot of running feet?
I'm here again,
Cause I can pretend that I'm Happy when
Step after step,
I'm here again,
Cause I can pretend that I'm Happy when (That I’m Happy When)
And I'm still wearing the same old shoes,
Tracing my steps, pacing the same old rooms
And I'm still wearing the same old shoes,
Tracing my steps, pacing the same old rooms,
And I'm still staying in all night,
Chasing the same old ghosts i'll never find
And I'm still wearing the same old shoes,
Tracing my steps, pacing the same old rooms,
And I'm still staying in all night,
Chasing the same old ghosts i'll never find,
