This document scouted and described several potential filming locations for a music video about a grime artist named Danny Billz. It discusses how shots from each location could help tell the story and convey themes around how the artist's environment and past experiences influenced him. The locations included an apartment block, council estates, alleyways, a police station, train station, chicken shop, and a black box room that could represent an interrogation scene. The goal was to authentically capture locations from the artist's childhood area and portray the struggles and hardships he faced growing up.

1. Location
Scouting

2. Whiston Road
• My partner and I have chosen to use
this block as the main block that is
shown as the one our artist lived in, in
our music video. Firstly the fact that
the block is big, creates the image
that it is towering over people below,
this means that the block is superior
to the people who affiliate with it; a
message my partner and I want to
convey is that the block was a burden
on our artist, in terms of his decisions
and lifestyle was all influenced by this
block. Nevertheless this is the block
that our artist came from, therefore
shots such as low angles, will make it
look like the block was constantly
towering over Danny Billz’ life.

3. Fellows Court
• Fellows Court is a very compact area,
as it has a lot of tall flats and blocks
in one area. For a Grime video, this
effective as it portrays to the
audience how people who live in it
can be suffocated/trapped by crime –
as stereotypically an area that
includes a lot of council estates is
feared by the public, as this is where
teenage crime is supposed to
generate from. In my opinion pan
shots of this area will create a
negative image, as well as kind of
giving the audience a tour of Danny
Billz’s area. As you can see this area
also includes little , small places such
as shelters and alley ways – this
could be a place in which Young DB
meets his friends, as the dark lighting
will correlate with me and my
partners idea the youths were
running the area.

4. Shoreditch Police Station
• This location will be shown when
Danny Billz mentions himself as going
in and out of prison at a young age, as
well as at the end of the video, were
we want to show Danny Billz coming
out of the police station and Young
Danny Billz is riding pass on his bike.
We have chosen this location as it is
the closest police station (excluding
Community Police stations) to the
main area in which we are filming in.
The fact that this police station looks
old due to its colour is effective, as it
correlates with the idea of new Danny
Billz riding past the current one.

5. Hoxton Train Station
• We have chosen this location as it is
also local to where we are locating
Danny Billz’s area when he was
growing up. This location will only
be shown, as in the lyrics Danny Billz
talks about when him and his friend
used to jump on the train. Pan shots
and close-ups will be effective as it
will show our audience the location
of our artist, as Grime video
constantly have shots of the artists
location.

6. Kingsland Road
• In Potter Payper’s TBH, we see the
Young PP going into his local
chicken shop. In my opinion this is
effective as it correlates with the
idea of showing the audience your
local area – the fact that a local
chicken shop was shown instead of
a mainstream McDonald’s or KFC, is
powerful as this is the place where
everyone in the local area will
generally go. Also this location is on
the main road, so it will be also a
good opportunity to show shots of
the public walking the roads that
our artist was bought up on.

7. Black Box , Bridge Academy
• My partner and I have chosen this
location as we feel it resembles an
interrogation room very well. The fact
that this room is small and pitch black, it
creates the image that Danny Billz is
being closed in. For scenes that include
Danny Billz being interrogated, we will
have a single spotlight pointing down on
Danny Billz as a source of light, as the
rest of the room will be in complete
darkness.
