Location Recce:
Type of room: Outside Field
Lighting: Natural Lighting
The lighting which I will be using in this specific location will
mostly be natural lighting. The reason for me choosing this is
mainly due to my genre which I have chosen. Through
research I have understood that the best time for me to
capture a dramatic lighting is around 6pm in order to capture
the incredible night sky, only adding to the atmosphere of
the shot.
Sound: Foley Sounds
The sound which I am planning on using whilst out on
location will be Foley sounds as well as the natural sounds. In
order for me to capture the natural sounds whilst out on
location correctly I will be using a boom mic for the sounds
which are around (Leaves and wind) and also an attachment
mic in order for me to capture the vocals of my actors.
Power: Battery
The power source which I will be taking with me to this
location will most definitely be battery operated equipment.
Due to new cameras and LED add on lights using batteries
will mean that they will need, charging and maybe even
replacing.
Hazards: Trip Hazards
The most common hazard whilst out on location will be a trip
hazard. With the use of lots of big equipment such as tripods
and camera mounts and lights the chance of someone
missing these and falling over is very high and could become
a problem if this is not made obvious to people.

Solution: Weather
For me to capture a shot like this I am going to need a clear
day and for that to work out I am going to have to look into
and take into consideration the weather forecast on the day
of filming, and also maybe even film on two separate days.
Also, apart from this, to capture the dramatic shot I will also
need to make sure that I go at the correct time, in order for
me to get the correct time I am going to have test my shots.
Solution: Time of Day
In order to capture the best sound without any interference I
will have to go out to this location and make sure that the
time of day is right. The fact that this is a pubic location will
mean that the time of day will matter hugely, as there will be
walkers and dog walkers around. Perhaps an earlier time
would suit or later in order to get the least amount of people.
Solution: Charging
In order for me to film whilst on location and have a
successful use of power, I will need to make sure that I bring
spare batteries for the LED lights and cameras. If my cameras
done operate with AA batteries I will make sure they are fully
charged .
Solution: Making them Obvious
In order to make things obvious I am going to have to make
sure that my cast know where everything is. I will mark all my
equipment with a yellow band so it is more visually and also
make sure it is as far away from them as possible so that it
hopefully won’t become a big problem.
