Location for Music Video



We have decided the location for our Music Video should be set in a big city our a location with good scenery. We can not film in a nearby location as Bourne or Spalding as typical Hip-Hop videos are filmed in locations with scenery in the background and not rural locations.

The 3 locations we have chosen to film in are Nottingham, Lincoln or Peterborough. These 3 locations are perfect as they contain urban areas, rural fields and also big buildings to film in the background. The protagonist (Ashley Firth) will be walking through each location and as he walks around a corner the scene will change to a new location. This will be hard to pull off thats why a suitable transition is needed to make it look effective and not too amuter.

MTV

MTV is an American network based in New York City that launched on August 1, 1981. The original purpose of the channel was to play music videos guided by on-air hosts known as VJ's.

At one time, MTV had a profound impact on the music industry and popular culture. Slogans such as "I want my MTV" and "MTV is here" became embedded in public thought, the concept of the VJ was popularized, the idea of a dedicated video-based outlet for music was introduced, and both artists and fans found a central location for concert music events, news, and promotion. MTV has also been referenced countless times in popular culture by musicians, other TV channels and television program, films, and books.

MTV has spawned numerous sister channels in the U.S. and affiliated channels internationally, some of which, like the former MTV Tempo now known as TEMPO Networks, have gone independent. MTV's moral influence on young people, including issues related to censorship and social activism, has been a subject of debate for years. MTV's choice to focus on non-music programming has also been contested relentlessly since the 1990s, demonstrating the channel's previous impact on popular culture.
