Documentary – Draft: 1 - Location

Gledis Dedaj

Why we chose these locations

• Trafalgar Square: Good for establishing shots of people and public interviews.

• Outside BBC studio: Represents media and attracts our target audience

as it is recognisable by everyone.

• ‘Living Space’ Internet café: Emphasises the social media aspect of our

topic/documentary.

• Ealing Broadway park: Neutral and calm background that wont distract from

the presenter and what she is saying.

RISK ASSESSMENT & HEALTH AND SAFTEY

TASKS: POSSIBLE RISK INVOLVED IN TASKS: ACTIONS TO PREVENT HARM TO HEALTH OR SAFETY:

Filming in unfamiliar location – Trafalgar Square and ‘Living Space’ internet

café.

BBC Studios is a private place and could be off limits.

Always check to make sure it is always accessible.

Filming underage (below 16) people Trafalgar Square is an open area, so anyone could get caught in the shot

Avoid filming younger people.

Filming anyone while in Trafalgar square or Ealing Park.

This causes legal problems as people have to be asked if they can be filmed.

Always get permission to film anyone.

Health of group members when filming(ex in cold weather, filming for extended

hours etc)

Cold weather could lead to people getting sick and extended hours could lead to walking home

in the dark which is dangerous.

Ensure that all group members are well at all times and manage the time of filming as to not extend to dark

hours.

Always carry a map when travelling to new areas.

Types of areas (how safe are they) Trafalgar Square is filled with all different types of people.

Keep equipment close at all times.

Time of day Far away locations such as Trafalgar Square could take time to get home from. Walking home in

the dark with expensive equipment.

Make sure all filming is not left for one day so that it doesn’t extend to dark

hours.
