The document discusses a location recce for filming in Southend. It was chosen because it was a hot day, providing scenic filming opportunities at the beach and pier. The pier train and nearby underground tracks allowed footage to be linked. The town also has an arcade and is urban and popular, giving an adventurous feel to the video. Access is by car, train, bus and there are cafes and public toilets. Daytime filming was planned and family would be contacted if any problems arose. Consent would be needed from anyone prominently featured who was not part of the filming group.
1. Location recce – Southend
I chose south end on sea to film part of my video
as the day filmed was the hottest day so far,
therefore was the perfect way to get scenic
filming. The pier also provided the perfect way
to link the video as I used the train on the per
and the underground trains at the same points
on the track. It is also a popular and urban part
of the country and the beach provided perfect
settings as well as the town.
The town also has an arcade that features in my
video, giving a more urban and adventurous feel
to the video itself.
Access: car, train, bus
Walking from station to the
beach and pier.
Cafes, resaurants and fast food places
Toilets: cafes, public toilets
Contact: mobile
Day time filming
Family members contacted if there is a problem.
People who may be affected, myself being the director/filming as will
be filming while on the course, other people who are crossing the
course while being filmed.
Also, there maybe people in the video who are not part of my group,
therefore must make sure again that there is no main focus on the
people who have not consented to being focused on while filming.
