This document summarizes various potential filming locations for a school media project, a trailer for a soap opera. For each location, it describes what scene would be filmed there, potential hazards, and proposed solutions to address those hazards. The locations include a street to set the scene, a coffee shop for a discussion scene, a messy bedroom to represent a drug addict's home, a school kitchen for a baking scene, woods for a flashback murder scene, a living room for a domestic argument scene, an alleyway for a conflict scene, and a pond for establishing shots of the picturesque town that contrast with the drama. Potential hazards addressed include traffic, spills, knives, slippery paths, and interfering pedestrians or vehicles.

Locations
Location Potential Hazards/Risks
Waltonroad
This will be the setting of the establishingshots thatwill set the
scene. Wehave chosen this street as it is the central road in
Walton and acts as the central point of focusfor the story, We
also chose this location as it suites the urban atmosphere that
soap operas need. We will use a trackingshotto establish the
setting.
Potential Hazards/Risks
The potential of heavy
traffic could present risks
of being killed in a traffic
collision.
There might be
pedestrians in the way of
the tracks that willbe used
for the tracking shot.
solutions
We will solve this by not
going into the road and
risk crossing the path of
the oncomming vehicles.
We will tell the public
that we are filming and
respectfully ask them to
ovoid crossing our path.
2. 2
The Grey Dove
This location will be used for the scene in which Dan is
meeting with Johnny to discuss the state of Lucus. Dan is
conserned for Lucus’s well being. There will be use of Shot
Reverse Shot to denote the exchange of ideas and
conserns. This is suitable as a small public coffe shop is
recognisable and is suitable to have a dicussion about such
matters. We chose this setting as it give a central social
scene to the town that is crucial to have in the social realism
that soap operas are based in.
Potential Hazards/Risks
We will need permission
to film in a place of
business.
The hot beverages that
will be in the scene may
cause burning if spillt.
Solutions
We will seek permission
to film in this
establichment through
letter or the director of
the group can speek
with the manager to
secure the rights to film.
We will solve this by
taking procuations
when handeling the hot
beverages.
a messybed in a messyroom(Jonny’shouse)
Lucas is amid the aftermath of a dose of a drug substance and is
sprawled on the bed. This is suitable because it fits the stereo
typicalimage of a drug addict’s house due to the lackof control
that they seem to have in their lives. (possible MediumLong
Shot)
Potential Hazards/Risks
The house may be
untidy and so there may
be accidents.
There may not be
enough room for all
crew members.
Solution
We will only use the
crew that we need for
that scene if there is not
enough room.
Kitchenin FoodTechroom
This will be where wefilm the cakecooking scene. This willbe a
crucial scene in the trailer and this is the center of the British
Bake off parody theme of the trailer. In this scene there willbe
multiple closeupshots of the woman making the ‘Walton Hill’
cake.
Potential Hazards/risks
There are knives in the
room and so people may
be cut.
The appliences may be
on and so hot, this may
cause injury if touched.
3. 3
The cooking equipment
may fall onto peoples
feet and cause injury.
The cooking mix may
cause damage to camara
if they come into
contact.
Solutions
We will not go near the
knive unless absolutly
nessery for the scene. If
that is the case then the
person shall hold the
knive downward with
the sharpeneed blade
faceing away from them.
We shall not use the
appliences that involve
heat as they do not need
to be functioning during
filming.
Cooking equiment shall
not be positioned too
close to the edge of the
work surface to reduce
probebillity of falling.
The camara man shall
weare the strap around
their wrist at all times.
Waltonwoods
This is where we willfilm the flashbackof the murder scene. We
chose this locationbecause it is desolate and connotes the
loneliness of the character as they bury the person. This will also
create intrigue in the audience.
Potential Hazards/Risks
The paths may be
slippery and so may
caurse injury.
There may be fallen
trees in the way and
broken branches could
course splinters.
Animals may get in the
way.
If we stray too far of the
track we may get lost.
Solutions
We will wear suitable
foot where for
traversing the
woodland.
We will aviod broken
trees.
We will try not to
disturb the wildlife.
4. 4
Jonnyhouse(livingroom)
We will use this location forthe ‘lying’ scene as it is between two
spouses and therefore it would be effectiveif it were in a home.
We chose this, as it wouldprovide the home affairs feel that is
used in soap operas to illustrate the idea of domestic tribulations.
Potential Hazards/Risks
The house may be
untidy and so there may
be accidents.
There may not be
enough room for all
crew. members.
There is a shotgun in the
room.
Solutions
We will only use the
cerw that we need for
that scene if there is not
enough room.
We will not go near or
use the gun.
Alleyway
This will be the setting for the ‘conflict’scene. We chose this as it
provides the dark and tense atmosphere that the conflictwill
need formaximum drama. The alley way will also provide the
low key lighting that will also be necessary for the dark theme of
conflictin the narrative.
Potential Hazards/Risks
There is no pavement on
one side of the road.
Pedestrians may use the
walkwyay.
Cars may interupt
filming.
Solutions
We will only use the side
that has a pavment to
make sure that no crew
members are not in
danger.
We will have members
that are not filoming to
act as scouts to warn the
public that we are
oprating and the fiming
crew of the pedestrians.
Will will have the scouts
wrn us of cars.
Merepond
This is where the establishing shots will be filmed. We chose this
location, as it is an iconic location in the townof Walton on the
hill. This willprovide really good scenes of the picturesque
atmosphere of the town. This will act as false hope as they find
out that the picturesque nature of the townis spoilt by the
turmoil that willbe represented in the trailer.
Potential hazards/ risks
Duck poo is slipery and
so may cause injury.
The public may be using
the space and might not
want to be filmed.

teacher or take asctions
of their own.
