2. On the 7th of October, Kem Production planned to go to our intended filming
locations and film. However, we could not do so due to a couple of mishaps. So
subsequently the locations which we intended to film at; which were mostly in
streatham had to be changed to avoid anymore of the same mishaps as this was
a threat to the safety of KEM Productions as well as the cast team.
As we could no longer film at streatham, I as the location scout had to then
subsequently find locations much more closer to college to avoid any danger
threats.
In the next series of slides are some locations which I have looked at which
much more closer to college.
While re-searching for locations I had to keep in mind:
• The facilities around this location
• The shops and cafés around this location
• Power sources
• Lightning of these locations
And finally…
• The distance
Also, due to this change of plans, a new call sheets would be drawn up. This
would be viewed later in my blogging.
4. Due to the mishaps at Streatham common. We decided to book a location which was much closer to college; for
safety reasons.
As the location scout; it is my duties to carry out this task. So I began to look at locations such as Clapham park.
I have also decided to include some documentation of this location just as I did with my previous scouting
presentation.
Name of location: Clapham common
More documentation of this location in next slide>>>
5. Forest scene: Clapham common.
General observations on this location:
Practicality: I think although this park may not
be as cluttered and clustered with trees as
Streatham common; I it the best substitute and
best option which we have, having taken into
consideration the crews safety.
Distance: A positive factor which this location
holds is that it is about 5minutes walk from the
college. This allows KEM Production is save
money on travel costs considering that our
budget is very low.
Comments: although this may not be my
favourite option for the forest scene. I do
acknowledge that it avoids any threats to our
safety and it also helps to save costs.
Having visited this location, there are some parts
which include clustered trees which can be used
to create the forest feel which we are looking
for.
6. Grandmother’s house. Exterior view
Shots: 2, 3 and 4
On my way to the next location during my location scouting trip; I stumbled upon a new location.
Which I though to be perfect for the exterior view of the grandmothers house. However, as this is not a
public property I needed permission. This means a contract needs to be drawn by the council which
would then give KEM Production the permission to film this house.
7. General observations on this location:
Practicality: as this location is located
just off a road. This may hold a practical
problem as it may be hard to get a close
up view of the house as the camera crew
would have to stand right on the road and
this can hold a safety problem.
Distance: this location takes
approximately 10 minutes to get to from
Clapham south.
Comments: I believe this location is
perfect for the feel we need for this
scene. However, It may hold safety issues
as it is a deserted area with almost no
cars and pedestrians around, although this
may be a positive, it could be a negative.
Permission to film on this site would also
be needed.
8. Contract sheet for filming on 70 Rectory Grove. (Grandmother’s house exterior view)
Due to the fact that this is a private building. I, as the location scout and location manager; would have to get permission from
the council to film on this site as well as film around this house. This is why I have constructed a contract sheet for this site with
the help of my director and producer. This contract has been signed. Which allows KEM production to film 70 Rectory Grove.
10. Location scouting sheet: St Paul’s Church
General observations on this location:
Practicality: This site can be classified
practical as it includes all the quality which
would be needed to make the crew confortable
as well as keeping the crew safe. This church
includes chairs and tables which allows KEM
production to be able to leave instruments and
items around without any getting lost.
Distance: this location, from Clapham
south, takes approximately 15minites to get to.
Comments: I really do believe this location can
work as long as orders are made and guidelines
are given, I say this because this location is a
religious setting whereby language needs to be
appropriately used and a specific level of noise
would be permitted. Also, due to the fact that
this location is deserted and isolated, certain
orders would have to be given to ensure crew
members safety.
11. Due to the fact that KEM production were unable to find a suitable house to film the grandmother’s scene, we decided to change the scene
entirely . This meant readjusting the storyboard.
After a prolonged conversation on what was most suitable to replace the interior view of the grandmothers house, we decided to replace this with
the grandmother in the church, doing several things. For instance having her in the church; (St Pauls church Clapham) cry, sobbing, reading the
bible and praying
