Location scout + risk assessment

 


Location 1

Location:

Saba beach

Events in scene:

The characters will attempt to relax, before realising that beaches in Bali are

completely hopeless.

Pros of location:


  • Bright lighting

  • Free to visit

  • It's walking distance from my house,

  • It's not the prettiest beach around (which works for the message of our ad)

Cons of location:


  • It can be crowded and loud there.

  • There is litter everywhere 

  • Uncontrollable lighting 

Alternatives:

We can shoot at another beach that is less crowded and near the shooting area

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:


  • Tsunami 

  • Rain

  • Trash and litter in the sand 

Evaluate risks: 


  • A tsunami can put all of our filming crew in danger because of the huge waves 

  • Rain would make the pavement slippery and would be at risk of injury, and prevent us from filming

  • Trash and litter also can harm the user with sharp broken plastic bottle edges.

Control measures:


  • We can check an app for potential tsunamis and rainy days and not film on those specific days. 

  • We can go at a certain time when the lighting should be right

  • We will have a safety and hazard assessment to make sure the area we are on has no hidden litter or trash. 


Location 2

Location:

Cafe district of Sanur 

Events in scene:

The characters will attempt to sightsee through the multiple buildings and find themselves enjoying the colourful architecture and food. 

Pros of location:


  • Free to visit

  • It's quite close to school 

  • It's quite beautiful with the multiple unique buildings

Cons of location:


  • At some hours it can be very crowded

  • Uncontrollable lighting 

Alternatives:

We can shoot in a marketplace or other cafe districts that are further away but more convenient

Or

Segara Village (beach club & restaurant)

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:


  • Rain 

  • Crowded 

Evaluate risks: 


  • Rain would make the pavement slippery and the crew would be at risk of injury. 

  • Crowded places also tend to be a source of harm as people can easily step on the actress/actor‘s foot or other parts of their body

Control measures:

  • We can check an app for rainy days and not film on those specific days. 

  • We can avoid certain parts of the district that are prone to crowdedness

Responsibility:

My teammate Shannon will control these measures 

Time frame:

1 day before the shoot 


Made by both Zoe, my teammate and Me 

Reflection: How will this help my project ??

This will help us avoid potential accidents in our filming sessions and if those problems arise we will be able to overcome them 

Self reflection: For our 2 location, we didn't use the sanur cafe district location instead we used one of the alternatives which is the beach club and restaurant. I think next time we will provide more alternatives to our risk assessment instead of only providing one or two so we would have more options and avoid running into similar problems.
