Chloe Ross plans to film the opening scene for her thriller trailer near a lamppost by the River Ouse in York at night. The location will provide the right atmosphere for the genre. She will bring her own lighting equipment since she is filming in the dark. Potential issues include weather, pedestrians, and lack of nearby toilets, but the area has free public access. Shots planned for the scene include a face tracking shot of the main character finding a body, and medium shots of detectives discussing the crime.

Permissions It’s a public area with
free access so I don’t
need permission to film,
if I stay out of
everyone’s way
Electricity supply I will be bringingmy own
lightingbecauseI am
filmingin the dark.
However, I plan to buy
lightingthat runs on
batteries, so I don’t need
an electricity outlet
Availability The river Ouse is
availableto anyone at
any time, becauseit’s a
public area thatpeople
walk down it’s never
closed.
food I will bringsnacks with
me, such as food and
drink for my castand
crew in casewe get
hungry or thirsty but
because it’s near the
town centre which has
loads of food places my
crew can get something
to eat there as well. So, I
will tell them to bring
money.
Suitability Filmingatthe river Ouse
at night will behelp
create the thriller
atmosphere I want in my
trailer and set the tone
of it so I think it’s the
most suitableplaceto
film.
parking The River Ouse is a 20-
minute walk from where
I live, and my castand
crew livenear me I
planned to walk to my
filminglocation because
this would save findinga
placeto park.

plan to startoff with a
feature face tracking

character walkingup to

go into the town centre,
so I will tell my castand
crew to make surethey
go to the toilet before
we go to that location
and I will also havea
break between filming
when they can go to a
toilet facility in the
centre of town.
Safety issues The weather could be a
potential issueto face
when filmingbecause
it’s outside, my crew
could slip,or my
equipment could get
damage if it’s rainingso I
will need to check the
weather forecaston the
day. I also haveto be
aware of any
pedestrians especially
people on bikes liketo
ridedown near the Ouse
so I will makesure we’re
out of their way.
Lighting For the lighting,the
main sourceof lights I
planned to use were the
streetlights. However, if
these are too dim, I
won’t be ableto see any
footage becauseI’m
filmingatnight I also
plan to bringback up
lights in casethe street
lights don’t work.
