LOCATION
Priestley College performance hall.
LOCATION ADDRESS
Loushers Lane Warrington, Cheshire WA4 6RD
TYPE OF BUILDING/STRUCTURE/LANDSCAPE
College building.
WHY IS THIS LOCATION SUITABLE FOR YOUR PROJECT?
This location is suitable for my project as it has recently been converted into a forest for a drama
performance. I thought that it would be a lot more effective if I did my shoot here rather than outside as
I would have stage lights that I will be able to move around and experiment with.

Describe any restrictions/hazards in the immediate vicinity:
The only hazards that we need to be cautious about are any wires underneath the wood shavings as
people could possibly trip over. Another thing is that the bark is quite slippery on the ground and
therefore any shots where I ask my model to run she will have to be careful so that she doesn’t slip.

TOP 3 RISKS IDENTIFIED ON LOCATION
(N.B. this does not replace the Risk Assessment form which must be carried out for any practical project)
- Wires running across the floor connecting to the lights and projection however they were
taped down so it shouldn’t be a problem.
- To take precaution when lying on the floor and not moving to much to avoid getting any
splinters.
- My model needs to be cautious on the floor as when I will ask her to run towards the camera
for some shots, the bark can be quite slippery therefore taking care when running is very
important.
Describe the aesthetics of the location (e.g. Describe the potential camera shots or describe the
acoustic value of the location)
- The area is designed and transformed into a forest set.
- There are stage lights and projectors which allows me to control the atmosphere of the shoot
and also allows me to experiment with projections shining onto my model creating interesting
shapes and designs.
- My model will be able to interact with the set e.g the material that is hanging around the
space and the bark on the floor.
- The location will be a lot more pleasant to work in as the model will not get cold in a dress as
we are indoors however with the set looking so realistic it is believable that we are in a forest.
- With the location being indoors it allows me to have ladders on hand so that I can shoot
interesting shots from several different angles, e.g. birds eye view.
- Another potential camera shot for my shoot is worms eye view as the bark on the floor could
create an interesting lead to the model.
