Permission to Film

Our entire music video is completely filmed in public places, and requires no permission for any filming. Here is a list of all the places we will be filming. 

• Southend Beach
• Southend Pier
• Southend town
• London Southbank 
• London Southbank bridge 
• London Piccadilly Circus
• London Trafalgar Square 
• London Buckingham Palace (in the area)
• London Green Park
• Ben's house

As listed we are planning to film in 10 different locations. As the idea basis itself on the themes of walking, being alone in the world, and in a depressive state, it felt that using iconic locations around london, was a good way to express, that whilst there are so many people around the character she is still alone in her own world. Which is the main reason for keeping all locations public. 

From a logistical point of view, having all the locations in public areas means that we can turn up, point and shoot with no problems affecting our schedule.

Whilst perhaps some may perceive all of these locations as being to simple as they are all public, The very essence was to keep the video simple and solely focus on the persona, the video is a journey of her emotional state through one night. So it only made sense for her to be walking in public areas.
