Filming on location - Safety

PUBLIC FOOTPATH - ACT 1, SCENE 1


Difficulties we encountered- The path was very wet, and contained a lot of dead, autumn leaves, and in order for the shot to work accordingly, we had to remove these. We were also quite short of time, and we were pressured to film the day scene, before it got too dark.

COLLEGE TOILETS - ACT 2, SCENE 2

Difficulties we encountered - The only problems which we encountered whilst filming in the toilet were the woman who came into the location whilst filming, which delayed our filming time, and the confined space, making it difficult to film long shots.


CANTEEN SCENE: ACT 2, SCENE 1




















Difficulties we encountered- Through the duration of filming the canteen, the most difficult issue which we dealt with was the noice in the background. Although we wanted the scene to be realistic, and consist of some noise, we didn't want it to be too loud, so that the cast would not be heard. Therefore, we asked the students in the canteen to be respectfully quiet whilst we filmed, and they happily obliged.















































POND SCENE: ACT 2, SCENE 3




Difficulties we encountered -The banking was very steep, and difficult to maneuver the tripod and camera on, as they were unlevel, damp and muddy. Therefore we had to be careful not to let the tripod sink into the ground. Also, the rafts which we filmed the character Ruby on, were very small, and therefore not only was it difficult to film the close up shots of her, but also was dangerous for both the cast and crew, as they were so small, and so close to the pond, therefore we all took extra care in handling the equipment, and making sure everyone filmed sensibly.
