We were happy with what we have already filmed however we wanted to film some more shots of the performance part of the video, instead of focussing on the narrative. To do this, we thought we needed a new location, preferably that was quite professional. Because of this, I asked my brother if I could borrow his flat that he recently bought in the cube, in Birmingham. As he has only just bought the flat, it has no furniture as of yet, and we thought that this would add to it being so effective in our music video.
A copy of gaining permission for this is shown to the right. As shown, I asked if we could use the flat on the Tuesday, as this would be the best time.
We then also had to ask George if he was free the same date.
The texts confirming this are also above:
The apartment has a very large glass window which shows off the skyline of Birmingham really well, especially when it is dark. Because of this we have worked this to our advantage, and have decided to film during the evening, so that we can film the lights in the background, we thought the lights would look very striking. And it would also go with the same theme as my Digi-pack, as well as creating a much more professional shot.
To add to both the narrative and performance side of the video, the fact that the apartment will be completely empty is a big positive for us, as it will give us more options about where to film as we will have a lot more space, and we wont have to move anything around, ultimately saving us time, we reminded George to wear dark clothing for the shoot, to go with the dark, intimate theme.
We arranged to meet George at the Mailbox in Birmingham at around 6pm on Tuesday 5th February, as parking in Birmingham is a struggle, me and my parents agreed that he could park in a car park space that we own below the mailbox, and when they arrived, I went down to the car park to let them in with my key. 
As they didn't know how to get to this location, we sent them a detailed description of how to get there, as well as screen shots so that they could find the location more easily.
We had also given George both mine and Jess's phone numbers in case of any problems.
Some photographs of the location we plan to film can be seen below:
As well as this, we also made sure we had done a risk assessment on the location, this can be shown below:
