Location of the music video

In this post I am detailing the locations that I chose as settings in my music video and why they were good choices.

I used three locations in my music video

  • South Ockendon
  • Chafford Hundred
  • Lucy's house


South Ockendon was the location for all poor scenes with DANIEL and when the two characters encounter each other and we filmed all the scenes with only the rich character LUCY in Chafford Hundred, and the inside of Lucy's house, which is also in Chafford.

I chose South Ockendon because it is a council estate and looks run down which was the perfect setting I wanted the poor character to be seen in. Chafford was also the perfect area to film all the scenes with the rich character as all the houses are fairly big, some areas are gated, all the houses have big drives, it is clearly an area where well off people reside. Also the well kept greenery is featured in the video, another sign of a middle class town. I decided to feature the inside of Lucy's house as I believed a good way to show the characters wealth would be to show some of her possessions which the poor character would simply just not have.

Casting for the music video

Daniel Woodburn, 17 y/o, no previous acting experience. Casted as poor character "Steve", I wanted the characters to be young adults so Daniel fit the bill. He also helps me achieve my goal of appealing to more than just one social group, he brings diversity to the music video. Also, the stereotype is that people of colour are less likely to be wealthy, more likely to be in poverty.





















Lucy O'Donnell, 18 y/o, no previous acting experience. I cast Lucy as the rich character "Heather" because its a stereotype that white people are mostly richer than people of colour.
