New Bedroom Location

In our rough cut, we filmed all the bedroom scenes in Orrin's (our main actor's) own bedroom. However one thing we have picked up on is how it doesn't create the effect we want. Obviously our character's room should reflect his situation which he is in.  This is that he is a frequent drug abuser who doesn't have his life together. Orrin's room did not create this effect therefore we need to seek out a new location for the final video. We want our video to look as professional as possible and Orrin's room didn't create this effect.

We need it to look less homely and comfortable and more grungy and run down. Playing with effects in Premier Pro will be something else to experiment with in order to create the effect we want. Our character isn't likely to have a lot of money due to his drug problem therefore the place he lives in needs to reflect that.

For some inspiration we have looked at past music videos including bedroom scenes to see what type of location they use.

Here are some stills from Eminem and Rhianna's 'Love the way you Lie'

In this video the room is very dark in colours, the furniture and decorations look very cheap and old creating a run down and dingy look. There is also no harsh light, the room is quite darkly coloured but lit by artificial lights and a crack in the curtain. We need to try and style our room to replicate this one.
