Location Ideas

I have come up with several different ideas for locations to film my music video.

The meaning behind the song as well as the overall feel of it suggest to me that there should be elements of contrast between the artist and her surroundings. Because of this I have decided to put the artist in a rural environment that reflects her need to be free from the constraints of society.

Location idea 1: Farthing Downs, Coulsdon. This is a hilly area near where I live that offers a mix of woodland and fields.

Location idea 2: Banstead Woods, Banstead. This is a comparatively flat area that is mainly woodland, with a sloping field at the base of the woods.

Location idea 3: Headley Heath, Surrey. This is a heath with lots of dense shrubland and some woodland.

Out of these three locations I think that the most suitable is Location 2 (Banstead Woods) as it is fairly close to where I live so I could go back and film without having to worry too much about getting there. There is also enough of a variety of scenery inside the wood to not have lots of similar looking scenery.

Song permission

I have e-mailed rabid records, the record label who have Fever Ray signed to them. They referred me to this company:   http://www.d-e-f.com/ (which is an artist management company who mange artists like The Knife, Robyn, Moby and M83), who I then forwarded my previous e-mail to and they replied saying that I could use the song I had chosen as long as there was no commercial use. Below is the e-mail of the two correspondences.
