Noise – what sounds
can you hear? Will
these interfere with
filming (e.g. sound
from people, traffic,
electrical appliances,
etc.)
You will be able tohear
backgroundchatter
frompeople walking
aroundin the
background.This
shouldn’tinterfere
withfilmingasthe
characters will be close
to the camera and will
be heard more clearly.
You may be able to
hearsome background
noise fromthe road of
trafficand cars.
However,this
shouldn’tbe extremely
noticeable asall
windowsanddoorswill
be shut,so should
muffle the ambient
sound.
There will be some
backgroundnoise of

thiswill be addedwith
intention.There will be
minimal background
noise aswe will be ina
room awayfrom the
mainbuildings.
Are there times of day
it is best/worst? (e.g.
in terms of access,
light, sound,
disturbance)
Anytime duringthe
day will workforthis
location,Iwant the
natural lighting,so
duringthe college day
will workwell.The
backgroundsoundwill
be somethingIwant,
however,atbusier
times,the noise could
be too much,so I want
to avoidlunchtime.
Anytime will workfor
filminginthisstudio
space as there will be
access to use of
artificial lightingwhichI
can use to create a
natural feel if the light
outside istoodark or
dim.However,forthis
scene itwouldwork
bestif it waslaterin
the day as thiswould
create an evening
effect.
Anytime of day will
workfor thisscene as it

will notbe relyingon
