Location scout
A location scout is a vital process in pre-production, it is used in film making and commertial photography. Once the producers and directors have decided on what they want the scene to look like they will send out a Location scout to go and find a location and inspect it to make sure it fits the producers and directors standards.
Recce
Recce is a bit like a location scout apartfrom their job is to go out to the location that the Location scout has selected and to inspect the location to make sure the location is suitible to film on and is what the producer and director would like to use.
These are both important in the filming industry as they both have to be done otherwise they will never have a plavce to film, also getting permisson and legal licences to use the property is also important with these two terms. Which also applys to televison industry.
we used these in our lecture last wednesday, we walked up to Royal Creasent and on the way there we stopped at some locations and took some photos, we had to use these techniques to make sure it was ok for us to film on and that is was suitible for our team.
Risk Assessment
We carry out Risk Assessments to highlight minor to serious dangers when it comes to going to film. so we can be aware of all the possible things that could happen for example, from tripping over a camera wire to being set on fire because you are using fire in a certain scene. we look at these so we can learn how to prevent these accidents from happening and making the set a safer place.
