Location Planning - Changes to Setting & Hazard Assessment *Need to add assessment

During the planning and drafting of my trailer storyboards I had a change of heart about the location I had previously chosen. Although there is nothing substantially wrong with the place I was originally going to film, I felt that there would be more opportunities if I were to go further afield to another location that I know. This area has a lot more ground and is full of open and closed spaces, woodlands and paths, all of which will allow me more leeway whilst capturing my footage as I have a choice of different areas to film various scenes.
Whilst on a recent visit to the location I decided to take some pictures to place on my blog to show why I changed and developed my ideas on where to film. Below are a few photos I took from my library after I had travelled to the location to carry out some healthy and safety checks.




I took the decision to carry out a hazard assessment of the area before the filming day occurred and I brought my main actor, Joe, with me to test a few things. I made Joe wear the costume and clothing that I chose for him to wear in my actual trailer because I wanted to make sure the costume was suitable for the new environment. We also walked a far distance and over various terrains to check the footwear e.c.t was durable. After spending 2 hours at the location I was able to build further upon my organisational skills by writing down each different location that was available to me in this area and then writing which scenes I would film there. I did this to make my first filming day run more smoothly. 

Below I have uploaded the hazard assessment which I took whilst out.
