Locations

A recce is essential, they scout for contributors and scout for locations that are suitable to use in your film. It is a good idea to have a large amount of recces hired at one time because they will split of and find different locations and other factors of you film; this will give you a broader range of information for you to plan your filming schedule and script.  

Once your recce has found a location you are happy with you will have to run a risk assessment, which is a document saying the locations are safe to film. Risk assessments are a key part of pre-production because without them you will not be able to fil a certain scene in the location you want because it is unsafe.

For the best health and safety, you must be able to control the risks while filming to prevent danger. The people you have to make sure aren’t harmed is everyone, this includes the public.  A hazard that could be a problem is access to the scene, if it’s a busy road you will need to get a permit to block the road while you’re filming to prevent someone getting into a car accident and keep the public away if it is a dangerous scene. Another hazard could be the weather, if there is a storm and someone is in danger of being injured then you might have to either change the date of filming or try to prevent him or her from being harmed somehow. A limitation that will need to be considered is distance. It will be a struggle if a location is further away than you wanted because you will need to transport everything and everyone to the location.
