Atlantic Records.

Atlantic records are best known for producing Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Hip-Hop and Jazz. this is the reason I chose this record label to support "Pangean"  as they produce the type of music this band have created.
They are a subsidiary of Warner-Bro's - Seven Arts, which was stated in 1967. They later expanded into the "Rock and Roll" music scene with signing band such as "Cream", "Led Zeppelin", "Yes" and "Foreigner", all of whom are English. Atlantic records played a massive role in popularizing the Genre "Rhythm and Blues" during the period of 1953 - 1954. Atlantic records played a massive role in this movement and lead "Rhythm and Blues" to move into the culture shift it had today.

Location Search - Victoria Park

Our Final and best location was Victoria Park in Bedminster. We liked the park ambiance of our choice, it is quiet and remote, a few people around here and then yet we are able to capture all of our shots without people in it. The bench we have chosen looks over the whole of Bedminster area, which can give that romantic city allure where as when shes alone, we can make it look like even though there is an entire city around her, she feels like she will never be with anyone else again. Until the ghost of her former lover appears, she feels like its only her in a city full of people, the bench is more than a bench to her. it is a representation of where she and her lover (now deceased) used to hang out. I feel that the bench we have chosen capture this perfectly so for this choice we have chosen Victoria Park.



 <- these are the photos of our selected bench. as you can see you can see the bench over looks a city which we will use to our advantage ->

Location Search - Queens Square

Our third option was Queens Square, an place with a lot of history behind it, including the bloody riots of 1831, yet the history wasn't the thing that interested us about this place, it was the neat selection of bench's placed around a statue of William III. The fact that these are displayed neatly around the statue in perfect order, The ambiance of Queens Square was the only factor that really put us off the location. While it had a thriving community, that is the opposite of what we want. We want a remote location that represents the characters in their own personal bubble. Like no one else really matters in the world. The same with Harbourside, as we want to avoid others, and we cant entirely crowd control.

Location Search - St Mary Redcliffe Churchyard

Our second and probably least likely location choice will be St Mary Radcliffe Churchyard. Whilst this location has beautiful scenery and is above Queens Square and Harbourside in appearance. A churchyard kind of promotes a death feeling, a feeling that we don't want the viewer to experience till the end. We are maiming more for a shock value rather than obvious. We want to promote the fact that even though the couple look totally in control and in charge of the situation, that every human life is fragile and meaningful. We want to display the depressing element of the video at the end, which would be hard to do within a churchyard, the location is beautiful yet just behind a church.

<- these pictures are the idea around 
the churchyard location, which we would choose,
yet on the floor are two graves, which gives the idea of death. ->

Location Search - Harbourside

Our location search took us to the lovely waterside of Bristol city docks, using this location would be nice, the tranquility of the night life, and the flare of the street lights would be perfect, The bench we were planning to use sits perfectly in the middle of two trees. It has a side view of a bridge, and sits opposite the restaurant Za Za Bazaar. The problem with this location, is even though the initial idea of the waterside sounds lovely, is that as only A2 students we cant perfectly crowd control. While we believe that the initial bench location is beautiful we are going for a quite spot, so it can make out that the characters we are portraying are the only people left, that no other lives matter to them but theirs and each others, and with other people around it can ruin that ambiance. Also opposite the water, we would like a tree filled forest/park. We want the location to be special to them, and no romantic moves take place opposite a low income all you can eat bar. Even though that can promote post-modernism, we are heading more for a tranquilizing setting and calm ambiance, with a touch of old style films, where everything is very generic and loving.
