·         In my opinion, this location is a good chose because it is a appropriate location which suits hip-hop thus appealing to my target audience
What problems might you encounter with it? How do you plan to overcome them?

Durants Park, Hertford Road, Enfield EN3 7ED
What do you like about it?
·         What I liked the most about this location was the colourful scenery such as the bright green grass which stands out frequently.
What problems might you encounter with it? How do you plan to overcome them?
·         The problem I will encounter the most when recording in this location is people walking in the camera frame as it is a local park. I  will overcome this by taking quick shots of the scene before any one could walk in the shot.
How is your location relevant to your music video?
·         As my music video targets youth and the hip-hop culture I believed that this location was relevant because parks are commonly known to youth masses also the urban area in the park links back to the hip-hop culture as it is shown to be a deprived area.

However I can show many close ups and medium shots of my artist rapping into the microphone inside the booth so my audience can witness his practice and performance.
