The document proposes several shot ideas for a documentary on knife crime. It suggests filming a reconstruction of a stabbing at the sports field in Solihull Sixth Form College due to the greenery representing a park. An establishing shot of the college sign is also proposed to show the interview location. Additional shots planned are of law books in the college library and the canteen, though noise issues led the canteen to be rejected as an interview site.

1. Initial Ideas For
Location of
Documentary Shots

2. OPENING SHOT IDEA - RECONSTRUCTION
A member of the group taking a picture of
the location, so we can carry out a risk
assessment.
We believe the sports field in Solihull
Sixth Form would be a good location to
film our reconstruction of a stabbing.
There is a lot of greenery which would
represent the location of a park, which is
the most common place where knife
related incidents occur due to their
secluded nature.
The picture on the bottom left shows
where the shot would begin and then it
would gradually progress deeper into the
sports field.

3. FIRST ESTABLISHING SHOT
We took a picture of the location so we could see what the
surroundings are like and how safe it is to film there.
The establishing shot shows the setting of where we are going to record
as we are interviewing students from Solihull sixth form, therefore it is
necessary to show a shot of this sign so people know where the shots are
located.

4. PROPOSED SHOT IDEAS
For this shot we went to the library of
Solihull Sixth Form to investigate the
availability of Law related books. If we
were to use these shots, we would have to
consider asking permission from librarians
before filming because of the quiet nature
of the shot location. The setting is ideal for
taking these shots because of the large
availability of resources.
A member of the group taking a
picture of books which we would use
to show prosecution laws of Knife
Crime in the UK. We believe using
these cutaway shots would be
visually intriguing and keep our
target audience interested.

5. PROPOSED SHOT IDEAS
A member of the group taking a picture
of the location, so we can carry out a
risk assessment.
For this shot we went to the canteen of Solihull Sixth
Form to see whether it would be a suitable place to
film. We decided it would be a good location to use
to film an interview as the background would clearly
show the audience we were at a college. However, in
the end, we realised there would be too much
background noise during the interviews which would
make them unprofessional so we decided to find
another location instead.
