The Ringwood "Walk of Art" underpass is a great location which I feel will be a representative of the dark tone and unspectacular nature of the opening scene. Used as an entrance to "Downtown" it sets the mood for the rest of the music video. The graffiti present and dim lighting gives it a wonderfully eerie effect and realistic to be walked through by my protagonist.
Times Square is an American landmark and massive tourist attraction. It's bright lights and grandeur make it a perfect opposite to the grim underpass and sell the idea that Downtown is the perfect place. This is where the character will first experience the wonders of New York City and juxtapose the dimly lit underpass he has entered from.
Again, the Empire State Building is arguably the USA's most famous skyscraper and as a result I feel it is perfect to showcase the whole of New York's skyline and show its beauty and magnificence. This will be used again to show the grandure of New York and give the protagonist a greater sense of experience and enjoyment.
This alleyway at night looks mysterious as a result of the lack of lighting inside, this will be perfect for conveying the mysteriousness of the gun/briefcase scene. It also allows for the music video to take a quick dark turn as it is massively different from the scenery that was just prior to this.
The Top of the Rock, like the Empire State Building, is a perfect way of showcasing New Yorks skyline and huge scale. At daytime, the sky (when clear) has a heaven like effect which is perfect for my attempt to make the scene on the building seem like the protagonist is in heaven.
