Naomi Hughes A2 media portfolio: November 2011

Brueton Park, Solihull

Production information:

· 20^Th November 2011

· 10:00am- 4:30pm

· Couple laughing and joking walking through the park

· Camera, Tripod, Tape, Clothing

· The rain may stop us from filming our scenes, also people may interrupt the filming by walking through the scene etc.

Sound information:

· We aren’t actually filming the sound; we are cutting it out after and over lapping it with the track.

Power information:

· We will make sure all electrical equipment has been fully charged the day before as we are shooting on location and have no access to electricity.

Access:·

At our particular location we will not need to gain permission as it is a public place however we may face some problems such as having other people around that may not want to be on film also we may not want others in the shot at all.

Possible hazards:

· Considering we are filming outside we will need to consider the potential weather conditions however I feel if it rains we can still go on with production as it would add another dimension to the video, however it becomes to heavy we will have to postpone filming

The lake on the left hand side of the path becomes a hazard to both the equipment and the actors as there is a potential drowning hazard.

Overall Risk Assessment

The risks in both locations are very similar. We needed to take into consideration various elements of the locations that may bring us problems. The weather for example not only will this ruin our ideas for the film, the rain also represents problems with the technology as the rain will ruin the cameras; to overcome this we will need to check weather reports for the days we intend to both film and photoshoot, if the rain presents itself after we have started filming we will have to postpone filming to a later date. As we are filming outside in the public we need to be aware of members of the public will be walking around and we will have quite alot of kit with us we need to be aware of the surroundings and the people around us. We also need to take in account that people may walk into the shot and ruin the filming; to limit this happening we can wear high vis jackets to show people what we are doing.

The lake on the left hand side of the path of our first location also present s a problem as it can become a potential drowning hazard, to prevent this we will need to mark out a boundary as there is no fencing. If we were to cone of the area it would show in the video and ruin the mise-en-scene. We will need to make sure the public can walk past safely without going to close to the lake and also make sure our actors are aware of the dangers, to prevent accident.
