LOCATION RECONNAISSANCE (DRAFT 1)
Lyric anlaysis where I highlighted which actor sings what (pink is when Diego sings Ayax's part of the song and yellow is where Antero sings Prok's part of the song). Next to each verse is the location where it will be filmed. The verses with the black sqaure around them is where the sample song is used and there will only be shots of Madrid as establishing shots for the audience. I also marked the two sections of the song where the rhythm slightly changes to see if I want a new location in those parts
LOCATIONS FOR ACTOR 1: DIEGO
BARRIO LAVAPIES, MADRID
For the first location that is going to appear in the music vidoe is Barrio Lavapies. I tried choosing areas around Madrid that were pretty close togeter, to give me flexibility when filming all of the scenes to be able to move easily from place to place if I forget to film any important scenes. Barrio Lavapies is located in the center of Madrid next to metro lines 1 and 3.
I decided to choose this location because of its colorful small streets and the street art that is present. It is also right next to La Latina which is another one of my locations so it's easy to get there. This location is very far away from the other locations which could make it difficult for the filming days and for the actors.
This is my first option for the for the skatepark location in Tetuan. It is slightly further away from my other locations at the north of the centre of Madrid, connected to the metro line 1. I think skateparks also link well to the genre of Hip Hop since it is an urban genre of music, often listened to in small neighbourhoods around the city. Skating has also always been associated to the genre of music. There needs to be skaters on the location at the time of filming for the aesthtic of the video and the codes and conventions of the genre, however, not too corwded.
SKATEPARK TETUAN (OPTION 1)
SKATEPARK LEGAZPI (OPTION 2)
This is my backup location for when whatever reason the first one doesn't work to have just in case. I like the previous skatepark in Tetuan a lot more personally, and it is also closer to my main locations, but this one is slightly bigger. It is in Legazpi connected to metro line 3.
LOCATIONS FOR ACTOR 2: ANTERO
For my second actor, I chose barrio de La Latina, because of the proximity it has to two of my locations (Lavapies and Malasaña) and the colourful market it has. All of these places are staples to Madrid that most toursit don't know, but all locals do. La Latina is connected to metro lines 1 and 5. However, very far away from the other locations and could be difficult to get to every location on time.
BARRIO LA LATINA, MADRID
LAST LOCATION AT THE END OF THE MUSIC VIDEO WITH BOTH ACTORS (DIEGO AND ANTERO)
BARRIO MALASAÑA, MADRID
For the final location, with both actors singing in it together, I chose Barrio Malasaña. Currently, it's a thrifting neighborhood and very popular among youngsters. I really like the visual aesthetic of the neighborhood with interesting decorations on different balconies or shops, and all of the bars and terraces. One place that really stands out is the Plaza Dos de Mayo, where the music video will end. However, very busy all of the time and there is a lot of noice (not a problem for a music video but perhaps for the actors)
A small plan I wrote to organize every spot we had to go to per location. I used this to later make my shooting schedule for my filming days, to know exactly where I had to go to.
DRAFT 2
The new updated version of the lyrics plan, where I use Pinar de las Rozas, the skatepark in Tetuan, Torrelodones, and Malasaña as my main locations.
The only two locations that I kept the same in comparison to my first draft, are the skatepark in Tetuan and Malasaña for the final scenes with both actors, which are the main locations where Antero sings. I only changed the locations for Diego, where he sings in Pinar de las Rozas and Torrelodones, and didn't film Anteros part in La Latina.
DRAFT 2 LOCATIONS FOR ACTOR 1: DIEGO
TORRELODONES, MADRID
A small town situated in La Sierra de Madrid. Is very close to the other draft 2 location Pinar De Las Rozas. Very close to the house of one of the actors and not too busy. Location accessible through getting a bus in Moncloa or taking the Cercanias Renfe. This location will be used for actor 1's second verse
PINAR DE LAS ROZAS, MADRID
The town is very close to Torrelodones, accessible by buses from Moncloa and Cercanias Renfre. A pretty busy area, however, calmer around the train station. Lots of graffiti to add to the codes and conventions of the hip-hop genre. Also pretty close and accesible for Diego.
