(Planning) Assignment 43: Location Planning and Organisation

Our Location Planning:

• We wish to film in a dentist surgery within Windsor, the dentist surgery is owned by the family of one of the members and therefore permission should not be a problem.

The address:

118 St Leonard's Road

Windsor

Berkshire

SL4 1DG

Important Key Information about our location:

Timing of our filming:
We need to consider the times at which we can use the location, this is important as it is currently a fully functioning dental surgery and therefore our filming is limited by the hours that it is not being used.
We have discovered that as the surgery is only used 6 days a week, we will be able to use the surgery on a Sunday. Time will not be an issue as all of our filming will be inside and therefore will not require natural light.

Lighting Arrangements:
Secondly, we need to consider the lighting arrangements of the surgery. We will be able to use professional lighting as the surgery contains various different sources of light, (as shown below). This artificial light will provide expert lighting for our cameras and will eliminate any lighting problems from our composition or project.

Potential Damage:
The surgery is constantly in use and therefore we will need to test the floor with our fake blood in order to make sure it does not stain. This is very important as the surgery is used almost daily and we cannot afford to leave any problems after our filming.




Access to Location:
The location is within Windsor Town centre and therefore is very accessible for all our group members, who live in the surrounding areas. This is also important as we will need every member to contribute at one stage to the filming.

• Luca and Jamaal are able to walk/cycle to the location with ease. (5-10 mins)
• Sam and Ben are able to cycle/take a car to the location with ease. (10-15 mins)

There is ample space for bikes to be locked up and there is designated parking outside the surgery.

Noise:
We need to consider any surrounding noise that may inflict the sound within our filming. Thankfully, the location is not near any major systems of transport and it is next to a fairly quiet road and so there should be no conflict of sound from any type of transport. There is only 1 generator that distributes the power for the building, and this is tucked outside and so will not provide any conflict of sound for our filming.

Health & Safety
There are very little health risks/hazards for our location, we will make sure to use the equipment with extreme care and we will be supervised by the manager of the practise who will advise us on what we can/can't use and will help us with the actual use of the chair, instruments and door locks.
These will be the only things we will be using within our filming period.
