Location Number One: Runway
The roller-skating would take place on a airplane runway. There are several runways near our school which we could use but this would require us getting into contact with the owners and asking their permission.
We want to achieve something like in the video below:

| The abandoned runway in all its glory |
We found a site (pictured to the right) which we liked. An abandoned runway in Ockham Common. At first there were several issues with using the site: Firstly, the runway is uneven and damaged in many places, which may make filming difficult (we'd like to film from the back of a car and uneven ground may cause the camera to shake) and make it difficult for Hannah to skate.
Additionally, the location being outdoors means that the possibility of bad weather is a risk. If the ground is made slippery due to rain, it could pose a safty threat.

Obviously, asking the owner's permission could prove problematic.
Thankfully, there are many even parts of the runway which we can film on.
A member of the group claims to know the people who own the property and says that we will be able to use it.
Finally, Luke has given us permission to do a second shoot if the weather is bad on the day.
Location Number Two: Performance (Catwalk)
The singer would perform in the Hurtwood studio which we will set up to look like a black catwalk. We spoke to the set designer who told us that she could put this together in the studio (more on that later). The group is still in debate as to whether or not the dancers/models should be behind her (which would make sense because it is a catwalk) but either way, they will definately be in the next set, which is....
Set Number Three - The Models/Dancers
This is probably the simplest set. It is the coloured backgrounds that the girls will be against. We want simple colours which would be easy on the eyes and aestheitically pleasing. We chose the colours from a book of colour swatches. This means that we will have to paint the backgrounds when they arrive but I'm fine with that, as long as our backgrounds look nice. This is the part of the video that was inspired by the Irish Misguided adverts.
