RECCE

Location

The location we’ve chosen to record our two-minute film opening is close to Chelsea’s house.  We have chosen this area because it is an easy place to get to with a bus station close by. It also has a wall near it which is what our opening will be filmed around.

Advantages

The advantage of having this location is that its always available, we will most likely have good lighting with it being outdoors and we can easily go back to it if we needed to re-shoot any parts.

Disadvantages

The disadvantages of this may be if people get in the way of our shots such as members of the public. Travel may also be an issue for the bus timetables, however, we will be able to check the bus schedule beforehand. Also due to the seasons changing the nights are getting darker which means we will have to ensure the timing for each part of the opening is timed right so it doesn’t suddenly go dark and also that we ensure we finish so that everyone can get safely home.

Health & Safety

There are some health and safety factors that must be considered when filming our opening. One would be travelling home afterwards, we would have to ensure that everyone got home safely. To do this we would have to make sure all filming is done before a certain time. Another issue is making sure there is nothing in the area that could harm us such as broken glass. Before filming we would have to ensure to check that there is nothing that could be harmful. A health issue could be staying out in the cold too long as there would be a possibility of someone becoming sick. To ensure this doesn’t happen we would have to ensure we had regular chances to go inside and warm up and we should also wear warm clothing. This wouldn’t be too difficult as we would be filming close to Chelsea’s house.
