This document summarizes the potential location of Croft Circuit for a music video shoot. The racetrack would suit the indie/alternative genre with its unconventional setting. Access to the location is easy as it is close to Darlington and only the band members need transport. The main challenge is limited daylight, as filming would need to be completed before sunset around 6:15pm, allowing approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to film.

Is it suitable (think about genre,
narrative, research you have
undertaken)? How? Why?
This location makes for a cool
performance variation. The racetrack is
very wacky, which goes with the
Indie/Alternate genre.
Access Issues
The access issues are very small. Croft is located extremely close to Darlington
meaning people can drive there. Also, there is only the band needed for this
shoot, therefore we will only need to do 2 car runs. The biggest issue is getting
the drums/guitar amps from my house to croft. We will achieve this using the
help from our generous parents!
2. Lighting Issues
The biggest lighting issue that we have is the lack of day light we will have in
the shoot. We finish college at 3:10, meaning it will probably be 4:30 by the
time we have set up and are ready to go. The sunsets at 6:15, meaning we will
have approximately 1hr 45mins to film. This is plenty of time, however once
it’s up we will no daylight left!
Sound Issues (if applicable)
