Writting a Recee

Act 1 scene 1

We are going to film our first scene outside on the picnic tables. We need to film there because our fist scene involves our characters walking through the school gates making their way to the tables. We need to film there because it gives us an open space to film and makes the background of our scene look more realistic rather re than just filming inside the dinning hall. It is appropriate for our mockumentuary because if suits the idea of being in a crowded school playground. One health and safety issues may be if it rains, however we can prevent this by checking the weather forecast. Another safety issue could be if it gets too crowded people might not be able to look were they are going and might trip over the equipment. Another issue linking to the scene being to crowded could be that if the characters are too close together or too close to the camera we would not be able to get clear shots of the scene. This would make our mockumentuary look unprofessional therefore as a solution to this we can create barriers as to were the character can and cannot pass in order to prevent injuries of our characters.

Act 1 scene 2

We are going to film our second scene in the Fireman hall. This would suite our mockumentuary as it makes our scene seem more realistic. The fact that our scene is in a hall and the fireman hall is a ‘hall’ makes everything seem believable. We need to film there as it looks like a hall so it would suite the scene where the girls are having their prom. One health and safety issue could be that the hall has very small windows and the prom is going to take place during the evening therefore it would be hard to make the scene clear for the viewers as it would be dark. Another health and safety issue could be that there are too many steps and if the room is too dark the characters wouldn’t be able to see were they are going causing them to have and accident.  This accident could lead to a number of our characters not being able to participate in the mockumentuary. A solution to this could be to ensure that there is enough light in the room as a way to make sure that there are safe.

Act 1 scene 3

We are going to film our third scene in an estate, preferably in one of our character bedrooms. By doing this we are able to ensure that our scene looks  realistic  and as if we are actually here instead of using green background effect to create an unrealistic background. Unfortunately however this can cause some health and safety hazards, one being that the characters may fall down the stairs because of the size in which we are trying to film in or that they may fall and trip over some of the technical equipment. Therefore in order to prevent this we are going to film  this scene outside of the tower block as it looks like a flat so it would be most suitable to shoot there. Another health and safety hazard could be that if we are going to be filming in a public area where people live we are going to have to be cautious as to how much noise we make as we would not want to be causing discomfort to the residents that live there. However filming in the tower block does may also have some of it’s own health and safety hazards. For example, the tower block it 8 floor up which means that it may block out most of the sunlight available for us to take good shots with our camera as we would not want to be taking shoot that are not clear to see. Therefore in order to prevent this we need to be able to make sure that the area that we are going to be filming in the tower block whether it be inside or outside has enough source of sunlight.
