Possible Locations

Wembley Way, Leading to Wembley Stadium











The walkway leading up to the stadium could show as an effective area to film part of our music video, this is because the crowded area will portray many types of person as watching football is done by a varied group. If we go before an England match at night we could also catch the arch in the background as a shot, this will help show one of many landmarks in London which can show the different ethnicities and social groups of London.

Leake Street, Near Waterloo Station










Leake Street is a dedicated street art tunnel which is sometimes known as 'The Banksy Tunnel', the street was used for the 2008 Cans Festival which is primarly for street artists to show their work. This area would help show the varied culture in London as it differs greatly to the more upper class areas of London such as Westminster and Chelsea, as our main idea is to film a vast amount of cultures within London to show many types of life.

Southbank, Opposite The Houses of Parliament








Southbank offers a whole host of landmarks such as Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament and The London Eye. Showing these famous landmarks will hopefully connote the idea of having a range of culture, religion and social class across London and thus portraying the varied lives people experience in the city. The Southbank also has many street performers which may help with some shots as a street performer's daily life will differ to the tourists surrounding them.

Wellington Square, Chelsea
























The area of Chelsea is a well known high class area of London, using this location will definitely help evoke the sense of varied cultures in the music video. This place will differ greatly to other areas we plan to visit as poorer regions such as East London will have a completely different culture to those in Chelsea, this could be heavily influenced by the variety of ethnicity in East London, where as West London is mainly white and of high social classes dominate as the area is expensive to live in. Having our artist in these areas will also be a clear way of showing how he has traveled London and experienced all the cultures and religions in those areas, thus showing a range of people's lives.

Piccadilly Circus Tube Station

Filming within a tube station may prove difficult due to certain regulations, however if we are allowed to do so we may use tube stations such as Piccadilly Circus at busy times to film. Using a tube station to film will guarantee too show a diverse range of people as London's tube network is used by thousands daily, as we want to create an image of the variety of lives people live in London so go with the song 'AKA...What A Life'. Using the tube stations and filming the tube itself will also help show the areas of London and the famous attractions to London, as the tube network is widely known across the world.
