Daisy Nook country park is located in Failsworth which is in Manchester. It contains a small lake that runs through the park and contains several other little lakes. It is popular for people who enjoy walks when it’s nice weather. It is quiet most of the time and has nice scenery such as tree’s and wide open spaces and I good view of the sky as its kept well tidy. We chose to film the opening scene here where Tom burns the picture of his ex-girlfriend and walks away because the location is secluded and is perfect for the opening scene. The bench on the picture above is the same bench that Tom sat on and burnt the picture at the beginning of the music video, so you can see for yourself how the location looks good and is also secluded. We shot about 3 clips in Daisy Nook which are clips of Tom burning the picture and then exiting the country park. We decided to have Tom start here as it brings emotion to the music video as he’s came to a quiet location to think about things and then burns the picture of his recent girlfriend.
Failsworth Road
Failsworth Road is a quiet road located close to Daisy Nook. On the left side of the road is a footpath but on the right side of the road there is a large field where several horses are usually located as its part of a farm. The picture to left is a shot of Failsworth road, we was originally going to film Douglas performing walking down this road but we decided to change as we found a path that was more secluded to film those shots. Instead we decided to film Tom walking down the road on the right hand side and luckily there was some horses there so we filmed Tom stroking the horses as Tom has a good vibe throughout the video helping people and having a good moodas he’s over his ex-girlfriend. We thought it would be good to film here and think it’s appropriate as it’s hardly ever busy and is very close to Daisy Nook Country Park so it also links with where Toms walking as it’s not a completely different location.
The picture on the right is also on Failsworth road but it is at the beginning of the road just as it starts. We shot the scene where Tom meets a new girl he likes and walks off with her in the distance holding hands. We thought this spot would be good to film this scene as it’s a good meeting point. The way how there’s a single bench next to some steps covered in leaves on a small area of grass, it looks like the perfect place to meet somebody and it’s what we planned since we started the planning of our music video.
Secluded Path
This is the path where we chose to film Douglas Jonathon Anthony Sweeney lip syncing the lyrics of the song Heartburn by Architects. This path is located in Failsworth quite close to daisy nook. We chose this spot to film as we wanted to film on a secluded path and we stumbled across this path when we was on the way to film on the original place Failsworth Road. It’s appropriate for Doug’s scenes as the path is even more secluded than we originally planned and at the end of the path as you can see in the picture there is a nice view of the countryside which we also took advantage of and got some shots of Douglas sat on the metal fence. We also got some landscape shots over the fence of the countryside and we also got some shots to the left of the path as there is a little lake there as it’s also part of a farm.
Public Street and Meeting Point
both of these locations are next to each other so we filmed from one location to another with the story. The picture on the left is where we filmed the clip with Sam (The Homeless Man) where Tom gives him money and continues his journey to meet the girl he likes. We chose to film here as it’s in the area Failsworth where we have been filming the rest of the music video and it’s a public street right next to a restaurant. We originally planned to film the scene further down, actually in front of the restaurant but a crime had occurred so we got asked to move. The road links to where the characters are travelling as it’s around the corner from daisy nook and the secluded path. The picture on the right is the meeting point where Tom and Doug both collide with each other. We thought this would be a good idea to do as the performer and the actor both walk past each other so the audience know they’re in the same location. We chose to film on a motorway bridge as it’s secluded and has nice viewpoints of the landscape of where we are filming. It also shows clearly that Tom and Doug are both walking in different directions.
