1. LOCATION RECCE
Prepared by Lewis Slingsby Date 21/01/2015
Location Details After filming in the woods we are now filming on the streets of Armthorpe. We
need a built up area with noise and cars as well as quite streets to film on.
Armthorpe makes the perfect place. It is quite local to all the people in the
group which again makes it an ideal place to film our trailer. The street that the
filming is going to take place in is called Mere Lane and is situated near
Armthorpe Academy
Scene/Purpose
of filming
After the main character in the trailer has made it out of the woods he then
goes on the run through different towns and cities. So we need to move on and
start filming in the town of Armthorpe as this is when the next scene is
supposed to take place

Permissions
You don’t need permission
to enter this site as it is a
public area that tends to be
very busy. There are
people’s homes that are
situated on the street that
we cant access
Access
It is very accessible as it is a
big road outside of
Armthorpe Academy.
Electricity
Supply
There is no electricity supply
what so ever that we are
able to access, so we will
have to make sure that our
electrical devices are all
charged and ready to go
2. LOCATION RECCE
Availability This area is always
available at all times as it
has no rules or closing
times that are stopping us.
Because it is a road in
armthorpe there are no
rules or regulations that
state you are not allowed
to go near that area at any
given time. Making it
available at all times which
is very usefull.
Food
There are some shops
nearby which we can use to
get food from but they have
closing times which mean
we will need means to tell
the time. If the shops are
closed then we can always
drive somewhere else to get
food or we can bring our
own food from home.
Parking Even though it is a road
there are some places
where you can park if you
wish. The road we are going
to be using for filming is
outside a school which
means you are not allowed
to park their, we may have
to park further away if we
choose to go by car.
Points of
Interest
- It is quite busy
- It is an area that is
quite local
- It is very easy to
access
- There is nothing
that is clocking the
natural light
Toilets There are no toilets that we
are able to use so we will
have to get ready before we
go out and start filming
Sunlight We are currently in the
middle of winter which
means the chance of sun id
going to be very scarce. It
may be light outside but it is
very cloudy and very cold. It
may also rain a lot and also
the occasional snow storm
which could further more
make it difficult
Suitability/
Possible shots
There is a lot of space so
we can get in a wide range
of different shots. But it is
quite a busy road with
many cars and busses
going down so we will have
to be careful. We are not
restricted for space and we
are not restricted in the
different shots we can do
Windows There are no windows
Flooring/
ground
The flooring and ground is
concrete which of course is
very firm and will not sink or
get muddy which makes it
very ideal for filming. There
is no mud which means we
will not have complications
when it comes to filming
Safety Issues There are no real safety issues
during this sight apart from
the traffic. This is an issue
that cannot be avoided and so
we will have to be careful
when near the roads
Noise Due to the fact that we are
going to be on a main road
we are going to get some
level of noise pollution from
the cars and other vehicles
that go past. It cannot be
avoided, so it is best to visit

the sight at a quiet time
when it makes it easier to
film
Space We are not restricted for
space as there is no area
where we are not allowed to
go or access in any way. If
move of the street onto the
schools premises then this
would be fine during school
times, but after school has
finished we will not be
allowed on their premises
