IS THE LOCATION SUITABLE FOR
PRODUCTION?
Shardeloes is a
suitable location for
my filming as it is
spacious and
picturesque.
I will not need to ask permission from anyone as
this is a public area so will cause no problems.
I will need to use a video camera to film the music
video and a tripod to keep the camera steady.
The only safety issues I identified were the
possibility of falling in the river so I will avoid this
hazard by keeping a fair distance from it.
The sun rises and shines on the field around
10.00am so I will start filming around this time to
get the maximum effect.
With the help of my tripod I shall try out different
angles and shots, ranging from close ups to long
shots and canted angles.
My video camera is battery powered so this will not
be an issue.
This location is quite remote so potential noise
shall not be a problem.
Do a test sound/video recording and
check for potential noise problems need

park and then walk to the location.
Before we start filming, I shall brief Jess with what I
want to achieve from this, along with the scenes
and shots I intend to use.
