Location Recce

ACTIVITY IS THE LOCATION SUITABLE FOR PRODUCTION?

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Look around the location. Yes. An alleyway in Wantage, Oxfordshire.

Talk to people there, organise filming permissions.

Yes. It is a public place so no permission is needed.

Identify the equipment you need to use. Yes. Digital SLR, Tripod, costumes, Photoshop,

Examine and identify any potential health and safety issues(Both people and equipment related issues e.g. crowd numbers being controlled; using safe cabling practices and video equipment being set up in a sensible location that does not block access points or that damages the environment or frightens livestock)

Yes. Falling over, tripping over potholes, uneven pavements

Check the position of the sun and lighting conditions.

Yes. Dark but can be adjusted on my digital SLR and then images can be edited on Photoshop.

Look for interesting shots and camera angles.

Yes. Low angles are preferable as it makes the artist seem important

Check the electricity supply. (For the majority of exterior locations you will be using battery power)

Yes. Battery will be used for the camera and electricity at college will be used to access Photoshop on a computer.

Do a test sound/video recording and check for potential noise problems (traffic noise may be a problem; is a location on a main flight path to an airport?)

Yes. No sound recording necessary as I will be taking photographs.

Confirm times and dates with technical crew/actors or anybody you are interviewing, etc.

Yes. Friday 11th February 2011 at 3.15pm

Arrange car parking, access, loading, security, where possible.

Yes. Tripod and camera can be carried by one person to the location, no car is needed.

Make sure everybody concerned with your video production knows what is happening and what is expected of them when on location.

Yes. Emails have been sent to the band to confirm details.
