location recce

The two locations that we are going to use are Bentley Road in Cambridge and Jolyon's house at Bentley Road.
Having checked both of these locations thoroughly, it is safe to assume that there will be no problems with filming on Bentley Road because it is a small street where there are not many cars going by, which means that the location is very safe.
It is important to make sure that a key to the house is with us when we go to the house; otherwise we obviously can't enter the house and one of our locations would be more difficult/impossible to get to, so a key is essential.
We must make sure that when we are taking shots of the cops walking along the street that continuity is maintained by trying to avoid cars in shots, because if a car drove by in one shot and disappeared in another, it messes up the continuity of the thriller.
We must also make sure that there is no-one at home when we are doing the filming. If however a person is still at home then we must make sure that they are in a location that is out of the shots we take, as this would mess up the thriller.
To make the house darker, it is important to make sure that all the curtains on the ground floor of the house are closed, as this will help to portray a sinister mood in our thriller.
We must also make sure that we take care when we are running through the rooms in the house because the floors can be slippery when they have just been cleaned and this would obviously be hazardous to the actors in our production.
