LOCATION

In The Hunky Dories music video there will be four different locations:

The Jazz club

The Prison

Dance space

Mug shot wall

As filming in places such as a club and prison are impractical and expensive we have to create the world we want in the studio.

Here is an example of the jazz club lay out in the studio:

We will dress the set with, red table cloths, table decorations (candles etc), drinking glasses, ash trays and alcohol bottles. The most important decoration in the set is going to be a red silk like curtain behind the stage, this will bring a sense of elegance setting and era. We will use spot lights from low and high angles to create shadows and a theatre like atmosphere.

The prison set up is simple, we will clear the jazz club set and use the same space. Except we we will add three sets of bars loaned to us by the theatre. We will use the same lighting as the theatrical performance is running throughout. This is especially important in this scene as it is inspired by Chicago the musical.

The Dance section is the same as the above with the bars pushed back against the far wall. We also will use the red curtain in this section, all of these elements connect the locations without obviously being the same.The spot lights will help create a sultry sexy atmosphere. We will need 6 cabaret style chairs for the dance in a v shape formation.

As it would be difficult to create are own mug shot wall we will use the green screen in the studio to create a realistic replica. We will then take the green screened footage and add the background in after effects.
