Location Ideas - Painshill Park

We would like to set at least half of our video in an outside space but know this could be difficult to find somewhere that would not only let us film there but also use paint dust. We also have to think about the time of year we are filming in and what problems could be potentially brought on by weather.

Currently we are thinking about using Painshill Park in Cobham:

This location is the visually pleasing setting we want and it would also allow us a range of locations in one park to film it in. It is not to difficult to get to and we would potentially be able to get the amount of people we need to be in the filming to this location. The amount of different outdoor buildings would also be interesting to use even if we couldn't use it for the paint dust. Our biggest issue I believe will be shooting at this time of year, but we have spoken about making the video slightly ironic as the song talks about it being summer but we will be shooting our footage in winter. This will be made clear to the audience by not only our subtle hints to make it ironic but also the colours of the trees and foliage.

We are in the process of trying to get permission to use this location. If we cannot there are similar parks/gardens we could look into.
