IS THE LOCATION SUITABLE FOR
PRODUCTION?
Shardeloes is a
suitable location for
my filming as it is
spacious and
picturesque.
I will not need to ask permission from anyone as
this is a public area so will cause no problems.
I will need to use a video camera to film the
music video and a tripod to keep the camera
steady.
The only safety issues I identified were the
possibility of falling in the river so I will avoid
this hazard by keeping a fair distance from it.
The sun rises and shines on the field around
10.00am so I will start filming around this time
to get the maximum effect.
With the help of my tripod I shall try out
different angles and shots, ranging from close
ups to long shots and canted angles.
My video camera is battery powered so this will
not be an issue.
This location is quite remote so potential noise
shall not be a problem.
Wednesday 30th November at 10.30am –
12.30am with Jessica Simmons.
There is a pub carpark nearby in which we shall
park and then walk to the location.
Before we start filming, I shall brief Jess with
what I want to achieve from this, along with the
scenes and shots I intend to use.
