WHY IS THIS LOCATION SUITABLE FOR YOUR PROJECT?
As the model is dressing up as a character from the film Suicide Squad this background is very
messy and edgy which relates to the characters. The location is at a place which is run down which
relates with the character as she is very messy and crazy so she will enjoy being around messy
places.

GENERAL INFORMATION
People who might be affected by recording in this location:
People who are walking their dogs might be annoyed if anything is in their way. However, the area is
a very quiet area so not many people will be around that area.
Precautions/measures taken to minimise the impact of your recording:
I will need to make sure that no one in the whos near the location is effected by the photo-shoot
which will be taking place and the places where we are doing the photos are out the way of people
are less likely to not be near the area.
There arent any power sources near us as it is outdoors so
everything will need to charged up before we go out and do the
Power sources available shoot. However, someone who I know lives very close to the
location so if anything does need charging such ad a phone it be
charged at that house.
Before we go to the shoot I will provide food for the model so they
Catering will not be hungry during the shoot. We will either have food at my
house or at a local caf in my area called Park View.
There arent any toilets close to the area so we will need to make
sure that everyone has gone toilet before they go out for the
Toilets
photoshoot. However, a house close the rea would be the quickest
option if someone really needed to go to the toilet.
As we will be outside we need to make sure phones are fully
charged in case we need to contact back up models or any
Telephones
emergency services or in case someone need to get in touch with
us.
Daylight times (if recording We will have to do the shoot between 12-4 as thats then the sun

outside) is out because the sun will be out by then
999 as then we can access police, fire service, ambulance. This is
because they need to know in case someone rings up the police to
Locals/Authorities to be

filming is taking place. If the ambulance service already knows the
address of the place, we are filming if anything happens they know
where to get to. This relates to the fire service as well as they will
be pre warned of the risks which could happen and the location.
Measurements of space used on location: (Use paces if necessary)
For this area is it around 30 steps from side to side which means there is enough space for members
of the public to walk behind the camera.
Describe any restrictions/hazards in the immediate vicinity:
As this location is near a business cars or vans from the company could want to go under the
bridge however it isnt difficult to move away from the area as there is a field right next to
the area where we can move to so the cars can move.
Where will the crew work on this location?
The crew will work west of the location as the photos will be taken looking towards the east side of
the bridge thats where the background looks better for the photographs as it looks more gritty and
disgusting which is suitable for the character the model will be dressed as.
Where will the cast work on this location?
The model will be working on the east side of the location as thats where the pictures will be taken
of the model.
TOP 3 RISKS IDENTIFIED ON LOCATION
(N.B. this does not replace the Risk Assessment form which must be carried out for any practical project)
One of the risks of using this location could be the car which may be trying the reach the business
behind the location. However this isnt a huge risk as the times we will be taking pictures mean
thats the cars or vans will already be where they need to be so there wont be any interruption.
Where the location is many people walk their dogs across the field which is next the location which
means if they are walking by they could knock over any equipment which could damage it or their
dogs if not on leads can knock over the equipment. However, we are making sure that there is
enough space to where people can walk around the location.
As the location is underneath a bridge it means that the walls are curved and if someone is too
close to the walls they could accidently hit their heads. This could cause injures to cast or crew on
the photo shoot however near to the location there is a place we can go if anyone is very badly hurt
and there they can have a rest before starting the photo shoot again if they feel up to it.

Describe the aesthetics of the location (e.g. Describe the potential camera shots or describe the
acoustic value of the location)
As the photos of the location was taken on a IPad means the quality of the pictures arent the same as
when the photos are taken on the camera.
This is taken facing north of the location and this is where you can see
the inside of the location however no photos will be taken from the
place as you can start to see the housing close by near the location.
Also, from the place there is a lot of shadowing happening which means
the lighting wont be very good for the model which wouldnt be very
good for the models costume as you want the audience to see every
detail.
This is taken facing west looking at the east side of the location. This
side of the bridge isnt as ruined as the other side which means the
back ground wont reflect the character to which the model will be dress
as. From the picture you can also see a lot of sun is coming into the
picture however not in the greatest way as this would create shadows
and lines of the models face.
This was taken east looking at the west side of the location. From the
picture you can see there is enough sunlight which comes through from
this angle which is best for the model as the audience will be able to
see all the details on the costume and the makeup. This side of the
location as lot more graffiti which is all clean and has no offensive words
written across the wall which means nothing written on the wall can
offend anyone. This will relate to the character the model will be
dressing up as she is a very messy person and will be in more run down
areas as she is going insane so she will find calmness is messy
situations which the background is similar to places she is found in the
film.
