                                                                 Recce Planning

I will be shooting my film around my neighborhood. I can't think of many health and safety risks mainly because most of the film wont have much action involved.To minimize any risks I will make sure the environment around us is safe and the crew are fine.The weather may affect the quality of the film, so I will just have to plan in advance and check the weather forecast.To do this , I am going to check BBC weather on the internet or watch  a television broadcast before I leave. I think that I will save the film from appearing unprofessional , as it is hard to shoot a film in the heavy rain.The natural lighting will effect the footage because it is unpredictable and can make the film look different to what I planned. I do not need any permission to shoot where I have planned.The film will look totally different when i shoot the material , as I  am going to edit it so it is in black and white.


There is the issue of other people in the frame, but these shots will be retaken in order to get them
perfect. I am currently having difficulty arranging my two actors to meet at the same place an time , so have decided to change my script to suit this issue.The film will now feature each main actor in two separate locations , taking on a mobile phone.This plot device allowed me to avoid making the film feel rushed. When Filming , I am aware that traffic may become an issue , because my film is supposed to feel isolated. Maybe I will need to go at an earlier or later time so I do not shoot during rush hour , as the film will lose this effect. The isolation and loneliness are key themes in the film and if the area is busy , this effect will be lost.
