Pre-production- Location Recce

Today I did a location recce for my locations.

Here is some photos starting with 'Neal's flat' and the main location 'Riverside' where the characters meet.

As I was taking the photos I checked the surroundings for potential risks as I outlined in the risk assessment. I looked for issues that may affect filming. Here is a few:

  • Traffic
  • Wildlife 
  • Weather
The main concern would be noise, especially from wildlife such as birds.

They made a lot of noise while I was there. My shoot is the first 2 minutes and there is very little dialogue. I don't feel that the noise would be much disturbance on the shoot. If I was there for the full 10 page script then I would have to think about the concern and plan how to battle with the problem.
When filming I will make sure that the sound will not be in the direction of the microphone.

Same principle will apply when filming near the road on the high street. Weather is the only issue that won't be controllable. I will monitor the weather forecast and inform both cast and crew if there are any changes to the schedule.
