This document discusses location changes and risk assessments for a documentary filming project. It has changed locations from Trafalgar Square and Ealing Broadway Park to Westfield Shopping Centre and a school playground due to the new locations being more relevant to the topic of socializing among teenagers. A risk assessment identifies potential risks like filming in private areas without permission, filming minors, health issues from weather or long hours, and getting lost while traveling. It outlines actions to prevent harm like getting permissions, avoiding filming minors, ensuring group wellness, using maps while traveling, and finishing filming within location hours.

2. Location change
• New locations: ‘Westfield Shopping Centre’
- Convent of Jesus and Mary Language College – playground.
• We are no longer filming at Trafalgar Square as we found that it represents
tourism rather than socialising.
• We are no longer filming at ‘Ealing Broadway park’.
• We will continue to film at the BBC studio as it represents the media
landscape well.

3. Why We chose this
location
• As ‘Westfield Shopping Centre’ is very popular amongst teenagers and young adults
(our target audience) they will recognise it and therefore be able to relate.
• It is also a place where many people go to socialise which relates to our topic.
• We have also decided to film at our school as there are many teenagers thus we can
interview them for our topic.
