You're probably after the upload_to argument of FileField, which let you
define where files are saved:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField.upload_to

(I assume you're already looked into MEDIA_ROOT):

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#media-root
