Preliminary Task Preparation:-Location Recce Checklist

Every recce is different, locations vary enormously and so do production needs. Think of the people involved in the shoot

·      Location owners

·      Actors

·      Crew

·      Production team. Imagine what they need to know and what will make the day easier for them. If you do that and take notes it'll be a rigorous recce!#

Look at your location in terms of:	Room size, lighting in room
Access for actors, crew, equipment	Acting skills, equipment need
Get details of the nearest Hospital with A and E
Toilets, shelter, food	Snacks provided
Lighting: Windows, available light, power sources, sunset/sunrise	Lighting with the lamp Dim dark lighting
Sound: What noise is there, traffic, people, airplanes	The music searches People talking voice Require a silence sound in the room
Health and safety issues: dangers to crew and the public	Non-dangerous action
Director’s requirements – shots, colour, aesthetics	Different camera shot Dim dark lighting Lowkey lighting
Your recommendations and preferences

Reflection: Using location preparation that I learnt that is it very useful that help you drop down different key notes about the location you are using and it is very common in the film industry.
