LOCATION RECCEES FOR OUR VIDEO

Urban outfitters- BirminghamWall in DigbethCoffee shop- Alpha Café/ StarbucksDoorway In front of another wall in DigbethBus- Express bus ( easier to film on)Street

LOCATIONS WE PLAN TO FILM IN:

This is the urban outfitters in Birmingham town centre which is the one we plan to film in.

Potential problems:- Too busy and crowded.- Not allowed to film inside.- Could fall down the stairs.

How we wil l overcome problems:

- We have permission from the store manager to film in store between 9-Noon, this way it wil l not be busy.

- Wear appropriate footwear and walk slowly.

URBAN OUTFITTERS

This wal l is perfect for our video as it features two gir ls in and is quite indie.

Potential problems:- There is not much pavement and

is a road right in front .- May rain.- There is a lamppost to the r ight

which could ruin our shot.

How we wil l overcome problems:- Fi lm at a quiet t ime ( 11am) so

no cars are coming so we can stand in the road i f necessary.

- Fi lm on a day not forecasted to rain.

- Fi lm close enough that the lamppost is not in shot.

WALL IN DIGBETH

This wall is on a corner but has the contrasting colours so we decided to film on it.

Problems:- Wall is off a main road- Cars- Wind

Solutions:- Be careful on the corner as

cars can come round the bend

- Don’t put the camera in the road, film from quite close

2ND WALL IN DIGBETH

This is a potential coffee shop we may film in, however it doesn’t have an indie/ urban view it is quite modern so we aren't sure if we are going to film here.

Problems:- Busy- Rain (as we need to film the

outside from inside)- Dark l ighting

How we wil l overcome problems:- Visit at a quiet t ime- Go on a day not scheduled to

rain- Make sure its sunny.

COFFEE SHOP- STARBUCKS

This is another café that we could film in, it is undercover and has good aesthetic inside.

Problems:- Busy- Not getting permission to film

ALPHA CAFÉ

For one of our scenes we are to fi lm in f ront of a doorway that looks quite old . We also need to fi lm our art ist walk ing down a street and this one we have chosen is always quiet .

Problems:- Sl ippy- Someone could open the door f rom

behind- Rain- People walk ing infront of the camera

How we wi l l overcomes these issues- Not stand direct ly in front of the

door- Go on a dry day- Fi lm in the day when moderately

quiet

DOORWAY/ STREET

In one of our scenes our character is on the bus, we need the bottom floor of the bus as i t has risen seats and we have chosen the new 126 as it has grey interior and looks better than the old buses.

Problems:- Busy- Too jerky and unsteady to film on

How we wil l overcome the problems:

- The 126 is not usual ly busy during the day

- Also the route it takes has been refurbished so the road is flat so filming should be smooth.

BUS

We have decided that all of our locations are a suitable place to film in apart from Starbucks, this is because its always quite busy and the view from the seats isn't very nice and wouldn’t look good in our video. However the alpha café has the perfect aesthetic and the view is better suited, we also have already been given permission from the owner of the building and even if it rains on the day we film that scene it wont be a problem as the café is undercover.

From our location recces we have decided all of our locations have been chosen well and we can overcome any potential problems that could occur.
