Location Recce & Hazard and Risk assessment

The purpose of these visits is to decide upon the suitability of the location for shooting. I have commented upon the access to necessary facilities, assessment of potential lighting and or any potential issues with sound.


The Locations (Video Production):

Recce of Bungalow and Garden

Location: My Grans Bungalow, Durham

Is it suitable – how? Why?: This location is perfect for my film, it is typical of the drama genre for the disequilibrium parts of the film. This location is very accessible as it is my grans who is starring in the trailer. It will give a rough raw edge to the trailer and connote how Tom and Hilda live in the first part of the trailer; The location can also suggest personality traits of Hilda and this can create a more personal link between the viewer and characters. I will be shooting during the day to create a clear image.

Additional  Comments / Observations: I will have to check the weather forecast previous to when I'm going to arrange the garden shoot.

Recce of Surrounding Derelict Areas







Location: Esh Winning, Durham

Is it suitable – how? Why?: Furthermore these locations are great for my trailer, as they push forward the rough surroundings Tom is faced with everyday. It will give a rough grungy raw edge to the trailer in the disequilbrium. The location can also suggest personality traits of Hilda as it is where she lives. I will be shooting during the day to create a clear image.

Additional  Comments / Observations: I will have to check the weather forecast previous to when I'm going to arrange a shoot as to avoid strong rain or wind.

Reece of 'Auntie & Cousins' House

Location: Middleton St George, Darlington

Is it suitable – how? Why?: It is very suitable as this is my house so is very accessible. The house is a great location for when Tom thinks his life is picking up, as to the eye the property is spacious, clean and in a pleasant area.

Additional  Comments / Observations:N/A

Risk Assesement of Auntie & Cousins House

Recce of Countryside, fields, paths etc

Location: Middleton St George, Darlington

Is it suitable – how? Why?: This location is very suitable, as at the beginning of the trailer Tom is seen in the garden so we can tell immediately that he loves the outdoors. This location is featured later in the trailer when Tom is staying with his Auntie and Cousin so the open fields gives a sense of that Tom is free to enjoy himself now and have fun.

Additional  Comments / Observations: I will have to check the weather forecast previous to when I'm going to arrange a shoot as to avoid strong rain or wind.

The Locations (Print Production):

Recce of The Studio:

Location: Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington

Is it suitable – how? Why?: It is suitable because it has great photography equipment and is very accessible because the Studio is located at the College.

It allows me to use high key lighting in order to light up my models face which is a convention of drama film posters and especially magazines. Using the studio will also help me to create a more professional image. 

Additional Comments / Observations: I’ll have to arrange when my models/actors are available to shoot, and I'll also have to book the studio.
