Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, South London. The station comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. The station's celebrity owes to numerous cultural appearances, which include a shot in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help! and being used in the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.
We thought Battersea would be the prime location as it is sinister and unique, reflecting the image of our band. As well as this it is also visually dynamic and allows us to capture a range of shots. Furthermore it is against the norm of using the studio as the location and makes our video different to the rest as not many people will have filmed there.
In order to be able to use the location, I had to write a letter requesting permission which I was granted due to the fact that my father is a frequent user of the station.
