Crew must not wear bright colour clothes, so everybody keeps focused on the tasks. Clothing must also be suitable for their job, which will not put themselves or anybody in danger. Music will not be played onsite, so this is not an issue. As there will be members of the public walking past, I must make sure that the shots avoid distinctive clothing. Re shots may be necessary. No children will be needed for the shoot, and the only children who might be in shot will be in the background. Posters will be located around, so they can explain what is happening.

All shots will be shot in conjunction with a tripod, so this should not be a problem. There is a large TV screen in the area where we will be filming (part of Chapelfield), and we must make sure that the camera is set up to work with monitors, so we dont get lines going across it as this will look unprofessional. The ground may be uneven on the location, so I will have to use the spirit level built into the tripod to make sure the camera is level. Crew must know that it is a public place, and to be aware that they must keep an eye on equipment at all times. As it is a public place, I must make it clear that cables may be a hazard (Look at Risk Assessment for further info.)

Transport/access:
Yes No Yes No
Filming is taking place on a public street, and due to no audio being recorded, this shouldnt be an issue. Members of the public in shot will add to the atmosphere so trespass will not be a big issue.

Vehicle access Toilets Traffic control needed?

Yes No
Vehicles could be in the area, so extra time to get perfect shots without vehicles may be needed. Toilets are available nearby. Lots of cars travel past Cinema City; however there is a zebra crossing up the road. If the vehicles become a nuisance, a crew member will use the zebra crossing to stop the traffic flow. The production is taking place near shops etc. so we can go in them if needed.
Shelter Safety for hazardous environments Tidal waters Boats/safety
Yes No Yes No
Camera/lighting:

Avoid shots with sun glare.
Yes No
The floor is unlikely to be level, so the camera crew will need to use the built in spirit level to make the shots straight and professional. Crew need to be aware that we are filming in public, and that they need to look after the equipment like it is their own. The cables may be a safety hazard, so cast and crew must be warned about this from the start (look at Risk Assessment Form)
