Agreements/Oermission to use location 

The location at 81 Churchbury Road is my aunties house, to which she has given me permission to use her house as long as I follow the timetable that she has given me: "you cam film on any other day except of Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday between the times of 9-5" as these are the timings when she is off work. 

Health and Safety precautions

My auntie's house is only of a small sizing therefore it is essential to make sure we organise the equipment out of harms way to avoid any potential hazards of tripping over, cramped spacing, etc. 

Location Description/Genreal Information 

The following set of pictures is of one of my locations to which I will be using within the first scene of my Triller opening, portraying the Stoombeck's household. This location will be perfect for my opening scene as I want the Stoombeck's household to portray a warm sense of a typical modern family household, to which my auntie's house does. The parts of the house that I intend to use within my opening scene is the hall way and the kitchen, with glimpses of the front room. The ideal specification for the household was to look like a stereotypical family home, and with my aunts form of ornament decor and modern layout, I feel that this fits my specification perfectly. However, my aunts hallway is extremely long and enclosed, and quite a absent from decor, therefore I will most likely set dress the hallway with personal items and ornaments; photos, mirrors , cabinet, etc if needed at the time. 

The cities were taking at daytime in order to give me a clearer in sight to what the natural lighting on my final production will look like.

Agreements and Permission 

In order for me to use this location, it was essential for me to formally ask permission from the principle of the school; Mrs Caroline Sadler, to use the outside premises of the school ground. I undertook this permission process through email. 

Mrs Sandler stated that she is more than happy for me to use the outside premises of the school on a Saturday morning and that it would be no problem. However, I would need to, before filming, send her proof that it is for my school project from my head of learning. 

Location Description/General Information

Weather Forecast

This is the predicted weather forecast for Dartford from Friday the 27th of December to Wednesday the 1st of January. I have intended to film the indoors pub scenes on Sunday the 29th of December, therefore these predictions will give me a idea on what days would be best to film my outdoor scenes. From looking at this graph, it would most likely be on Sunday the 29th or Friday the 27th of December. This is helpful because it will present continuo it within my shots, making sure that the lighting and weather is the same throughout. 

Due to change within my filming schedule and location choices after given feedback, the weather forecast for February half term is what I will now change my focus on: 

It is important for me to keep in mind that sometimes the weather forecasts can be wrong, and that these results are only early predictions. Therefore, it will be vital for me to keep a check on the weather forecast in the upcoming weeks ahead.

Permission

Permission to use The White Hart Location

As the majority of the opening sequence is in a pub, I had to contact the landlord of the property and ask permission if I could use the pub as my filming location. Fortunately, I know the pub owner; Dave,  very well, due to being a family friend, so the permission to use this location was quite straightforward. Thankfully, Dave agreed to let me use his pub; The White Hart in Eltham on Sunday the 28th of December. Below is my texts messages to Dave asking for permission to use the location: 

Production Schedule

It is was essential for me to construct a production schedule for me to follow within the upcoming weeks in order for me obtain a smooth and organise production process, and a clear route for me to follow and inform me on what to do on what particular days.
