Recce Report 

In our recce reports we look to assess the locations and see whether they are viable, containing multiple situations which we should be aware of. The main concern being safety is paramount and so we need to ensure the locations are safe to work and suitable for the use of filming.  

Elements we look for are 

• Parking or equipment access 
• Electrical outlets/power supplies 
• Available lighting sources ( This can be either natural light e.g from the sun, lamppost or Artificial light from torches and lighting rigs. 
• Permission to film on site. 
• The ability in making a intended atmosphere made by the location 
• Enough room for shooting to take place .  

  

Woods scene  

For this particular scene we are looking at performing it in a natural woodland.  This is easy to find as around the area there are plenty of parks which are easy for the cast and crew to get to.  I have decided for the film to happen during day time so the sun should provide the natural light however depending on the weather the date of filming could change.  

The woods would create the atmosphere i need as it will provide the feel of secrecy which is crucial in this scene with the characters involved.

Positive

• Natural lighting 
• Same type of location as it said in the script. 
• Easy for the actors to get to location 

Negative 

• Weather can't be controlled  for filming
• People walking past disrupting filming
