Location

We have decided to film our music video in Ickworth House and Gardens. We have emailed them asking for permission to film as well as a brief description of their interiors and are currently waiting for their reply.
Here is a general view of the area we are hoping to film...

During our storyboarding process we always had Ickworth House in mind; this made it a lot easier as we could plan the locations well (since most of our group have been there before and know the surroundings well).

The Instrumentals and Choruses during the song will be featured in black white and filmed inside (hopefully) Ickworth Hotel which is just to the right of the main building.

If you take a look at our 'Lyrics into Themes' blog post, you will notice we have split the verses of the song into 4 different themes: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

• Spring will be filmed at the front of the House, and Amy will be positioned inbetween the pillars (not shown in the picture above) This area is circled in the picture below:

• There is then a 5 Second instrumental between the Spring theme and the Summer. Summer will be filmed in the picture below. Amy will jump out from behind the hedges (refer to storyboard).
  
  

• There is then a Chorus, which will be filmed like the previous Instrumental, inside and in black and white. Autumn is the next theme and will be filmed in the wooded areas of the gardens. We do not have a specific area of woodland in mind, but we hope it will be secluded and much like this area of the estate (however, hopefully with more autumnal colours)

• After the Autumn themed verse there is another section of chorus as well as a 25 second instrumental. The last theme is winter. We hope to film this verse early in the morning, when frost is still apparent on the ground; Amy will be performing in a variety of shots (refer to storyboard again) The filming will take place near the lake and small seating area of the gardens as pictured below.

• After the Winter themed verse, there is a fast paced Chorus. This will include a variety of shots from all the different themes. Their will be a variation of shot types including close-ups of Amy singing, or natural shots of laughter etc.
