This is a video for King Krule's "Easy Easy". As a group when we watched the video, we really liked how King Krule was on top of a building. We then decided to take inspiration from this and try and get to a rooftop in the local area. The first place we thought of was Lutterworth, however, we thought that the scenery and environment was not good enough for are video because no buildings are as tall and the surrounding environment would not necessarily fit the genre.
The next place we thought of was Leicester. Leicester city centre is a maximum of 20 minutes away and it has plenty of tall buildings and the surrounding area is exactly the kind of scenery we want. After we thought about Leicester, we immediately knew that we wanted to film on a rooftop in Leicester. We then set about trying to organise a rooftop we wanted to film on.
Having a rooftop involved in a video is effective because it adds to how the video looks. Think about having a performance next to a building or on a pavement. It may be good, but an extra backdrop and the element of danger is involved in a rooftop shot. Therefore the audience watching has more to look at and it is generally more interesting too.
Although, we would have to be careful about falling or getting into trouble for being on the roof in a first place. As a group, we have decided to ask around friends who go to Leicester college and may know of any buildings we can film on with permission. We would also film in the centre of the roof to prevent anybody from falling off.
