Through the annotation of lyrics as a group, we felt that we were comfortable exploring the different locations in which we could shoot. Thinking of me by Olly Murs is very much a feel good, reminisant song which we wanted to portray through our use of camera shots, angles and very importanly, location. To do this we had to decide as a group where it would be best to film and we were already given a head start as the song mentions two locations, Waterloo and London in general. With this we also came to the conclusion that shooting some scenes in places such as Greenwich, Erith Riverside and Camden would enable us to get the best out of the video and conform to generic codes and conventions of music videos.
Deciding on who would feature in the video and their character functions are key aspects, as their roles play an important element of the music video production. With this is mind, we sat down as a group and created a list of names of people, who could potentially feature in our footage. We had to consider the role of Olly Murs well and decided that Sam Robinson (a member of our group) would be well suited to be play Olly Murs. We also decided on 1 extra character within the video footage, a girl, who features as the 'romance' figure. Keeping it in the group we decided to have Faith Brackstone playing this character.
