My Possible location choices

Yesterday, I went on a hunt for a location to film my Performance Music video in. I went around Royal Wootton Bassett, on a search for the Run-Down stage of my dreams... Here's where I visited;

 

 My first location was the Function Room in the "Old Nick", a Public house which was once a police station. This room is free for use. I visited this location because, visiting before, I remembered it being very grey, dull, a messy grey room with a stage at the back. It seemed like it'd be perfect for the job. However unfortunately, since my last visit to this function room, it's been repaired, repainted, and the walls covered with white sheets. Today, it's used for Wedding parties. It's a shame, but I don't think that in it's current form it'd be suitable for my Music video, unless I was going for a contrast.

However, I have been told that performances from bands in the Old Nick often take place in the main Pub now. They usually move the Pool table out the way and set up a stage in the corner of the room, setting up their instruments and speaker systems and setting out some lighting. This looks a little more acceptable, and I recon it'll work a little better for my video.

 This Function room is part of the "Phoenix Inn", on the highstreet, and houses a stage and a dance floor. Although I have little use for the dance floor, the stage could be dressed up to give the run-down effect I'm trying to convey. I feel it'd work reasonably well for my video, but it costs £100 to hire. I don't know whether I can afford this.

 This little room is part of the Woodshaw Inn, and was my last location yesterday. The clutter, the dull walls, the cheap furnishings- While this would likely be cleared up for a party or a performance, I think it'd look Perfect for my video! The room costs just £30 to use, so it's very possible. However, This room lacks a stage. They have attempted, in the past, to install one, but due to the low sealing and the limited space, it couldn't work. However, setting up our own stage, or simply not using a stage, could add to the effect I'm going for. This's perhaps the perfect place for my music video.

Other places I visited yesterday include the Red Lion Inn, which houses a giant Pub Theatre. However, I was not allowed to view it, as the owner of the theatre was not present. I may visit some other time, to see if I can get a good deal on another suitable room. I also visited the Memorial Hall, but it was locked, and when we knocked there was no reply.

EDIT;

So, on Friday the 4th of October, I visited the Memorial Hall again. I'd organised with the caretaker to take a look around.

 I think this's definetely overkill. No question about it. It's large, has some complex lighting effects and has a pretty big stage we can do a lot with, but I don't think we need all this space. While the lighting is helpful, to keep the Punk-y style, I think it'd be better to keep effects to a minimum. Lastly, I'm not sure I can afford to hire this hall anywho.

 My favourite function room, of the available choices, remains the Woodshaw Inn.
