I must know what I intend to get done on the day of filming, so no time is wasted. I must explain this to the crew as well.


Yes No


Yes No

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.)
