potential locations:

 

Location 1 black box

Transport/access

Director issues:

Some of the locations within the black box may be unavailable due to not having access this may hinder the ability to get good shots as well cast and crew members may not be available on certain days due to extracurricular activities within the school

Camera/lighting issues:

the lighting within the black box may not be working since this means we would need to book lighting in advance to make sure we get sufficient lighting in advance we will also need to make sure the camera is charged to get all the shots we need  

Sound issues:

there are no particular sound issues however if we were to film during school hours there may be excess noise from the children in the school however this can be solved by filing after school 

 

Location 2 luxirous villa

Camera/lighting issues:

 The lights in the villa may be too bright this may need to be corrected in the editing. We will also need to make sure the camera is charged to get all the shots we need  

sound issues:

we need to make sure all cast and crew members who are in this location do not cause sound problems during the scenes to make sure all the shots are perfect as well as a microphone may be needed if there is dialogue in the scenes 

 

director issues:

Some of the locations within the house may be hard to access for all crew members this may make it hard to get all the shots  for example bedrooms or bathrooms this may hinder the quality and if we are even able to get the shots

                                        Location 3 Meydan bridge

Camera/lighting issues

The camera will need to be charged as there may not be access to a power source as well as the settings will need to be correct to make sure the shoot is not wasted

the time of day may cause if we go while it's still sunny this may affect how the shot looks and may cause some shots to be overexposed to sunlight  

Sound issues:

the bridge may be busy so there is always the risk of people making noise within the background and the cars driving past to solve this we may choose to film at a later time so there are fewer people  

Director issues:

we do not have access to all the equipment due to covid 19 reasons so some shots may not be steady and the director may not get good shots due to possible disruptions
