Hazards
Because I am filming in an old run-down house there will be
many hazards whilst filming in this area. Such as the floor
upstairs may not be as stable which could cause several injures.
With this house as well, a lot of the roof is collapsed. To make
sure I avoid this hazard from happening I will be filming in the
areas of the house which are more stable and not taking a lot of
heavy equipment into the upstairs rooms. I will also need to be
aware of if anyone goes inside the house as it is open for anyone
to walk into as there is no longer an owner which could lead to
some danger as we don’t know who would be inside.
Contingency plan
Actors and backup
Option 1 role 1 – Lola grant
Option 2 role 1 - Alana Irvine – bull 221743@henleycol.ac.uk
Option 1 role 2 – Dylan mallet
Option 2 role 2 – James Lowman
For my production, the equipment I will be using will be my camera
which I will bring extra batteries for in case in runs out mid shoot. A
tripod and some lighting stands. I have also given myself back up actors
in the case one of them may not be able to get to the location at the times
that are needed to shoot. I have also looked at different locations in case I
can no longer use the location in which I wanted to use.
