Suitability / shots for production (scene numbers)

Perfect for a music video for an indie band. The alternative landscape fits the genre of indie by it
being a free independent environment, access to natural light, sunshine, allows for happy
invigorating shots.
Lighting Information:
Shot uses natural light on account of the
outside environment.
Sound Information:
As location is outside, surrounding sounds,
birds, wind could affect the shot. Also, skaters
in the environment could provide noise issues.
Power Information
Due to it being in an outside environment,
power outlets are scarce.
Hazards
As it is a public area, onlookers or member of
the public may pass through on occasion.
Cast or crew may interfere or be interfered
with by skaters using park.
Solutions:
Shots must be filmed at the same time of day
to allow for consistency and continuity as to
avoid any time jumping shots.
Solutions:
Due to it being an indie music video, all noise
would be overlapped by music.
Solutions:
Portable generators or extension leads will
suffice providing power to the equipment. Also
near-by buildings could provide power.
Solutions:
The location is fairly isolated, minimising traffic
of the public. Could also arrange with owner of
land, a temporary blockade.
Signage could be put up, or a temporary closure
of the park with permission could be enforced.
