On Friday 7th March, 5pm the actors will arrive at my house to get in costume. Once they are dressed we will walk to the first location (Oakfield Park) to shoot the first few scenes. Once these are completed we will then walk to the the next location (Tree Estate) to shoot the last scenes, this is likely to take longer as there will be more local people around. If it gets too dark due to time we will have to use the weekend or next week when the characters are all free.

Location report

How to get there:
 The first scene will be in Oakfield park on the swings. As it is close to my house it is only a 2 minute walk.
The second location, is set in a housing estate also close to my house, where the characters will get into costume. This means again it will only be a 5 minute walk to the scene location.












Both the park and street, are public areas meaning that there is no cost or confirmation which needs to be made to shoot there.
Health and Safety:
Oakfield Park:
In the park there are various hazards. The apparatus (slides, swings etc) may be slippery depending on the weather, this means that when shooting the actors need to be careful and sensible with how they use the equipment.
As there may be animals in the park, I need to check with my actors that they do not have a fear or allergy to dogs etc.

Estate: 
As we wil be shooting near roads I will need to make sure that everyone is in a suitable and safe location so that they can not get run over, and make sure my actors are aware of the vehicles. Being aware of the surroundings here is also important as pedestrians may find it difficult to pass us on the pavement so to guarantee the safety of not just my actors but local people I will make sure it is not busy.

The time in which we are set to film, should mean that the lighting outside is bright enough for the camera but slightly dim to fit the mood of the scenes. Flash can be used to brighten the scene, however if this lowers the quality the shoot will have to be done on another day.

This location is suitable to my Macro, as I am exploring Quentin Tarantino's Style and Genre. The children's playground links to my macro, as Tarantino's style is very controversial so having a film to do with Nazi's and gangs set in a playground makes it abnormal and therefore pushes the boundaries in which Tarantino also challenges.
