A recce is a pre-filming visit to potential locations to assess their suitability. The document describes three potential locations - Rio's house, a school green screen room, and a nightclub or party - and evaluates each for access, lighting, sound, and any other issues. Rio's house is suitable with easy access and control over lighting and sound, though there may be some passing car noise. The green screen room has good access but filming would need to avoid lunch/break times when it could be noisy. The nightclub poses age restrictions for some actors and uncertain availability, so a party is a backup option but would require lighting setup.

1. Recce

access to necessary facilities, assessment of potential lighting and or any potential issues

Observations
Rio’s house Yes thislocationis
suitable forthe
productionof our
musicvideo.The
access will be easyto
getto, whichmeans
that as it isRio’s
house we will be able
to sort the lighting
out how we want it
be and it the sound
will be quietenough
for usto film
effectivelyhowever
there couldbe a few
cars that drive past
now and then.
The onlythingsthat
we needtolookout
for wouldbe herpets
as she has a dog and
cat.
As ourlocationisin a
real streetthismeans
that our musicvideo
will lookasrealisticas
it couldpossiblybe in
orderfor our
narrative.
Greenscreenat
school
Thisis suitable and
easyto access,
howeverwe will need
to make sure that we
have a room, which is
quietenoughforus
to film.We will
therefore needto
make sure that there
isnot lunchor breaks
on at that time
because thiscould
potentiallymean that
childrenare
screamingdownthe
corridor.
Howeverthe only
draw back couldbe
that whenwe goto
use it the green
screenisin factin
use,whichcould
meanthat we would
have to postpone our
production.

2. Nightclubora party The nightclubcould
be a problemforus
because a few of our
actors are goingto be
underage and
therefore meansthat
theymay notbe able
to getin. The lighting
wouldbe perfectfor
us because we need
the musicto be light
and the lightingis
goingto be dark. If
the nightclubdoes
not workthenwe do
have a backup plan,
whichisa party.This
meanthat we will
have to sort outthe
lightingsothatit fits
our needs.
Thisis goingto be the
mostdifficultone for
us to film, thisisdue
to our actors agesand
the availabilityonthe
nightfor themto
make it intotown.
