Why It’s A Suitable Location

For The Scene

We have chosen The Woodman for our location, which is where we will take shots for our scene at the pub. We have chosen The Woodman for the location of our shooting because it is a big area and there are lots of different places to film. For example there is lots of beautiful scenery of the city out side and there are plenty of tables and chairs inside which we can use as our pub background. Also inside there are lots of rooms and there is lots of light so that we are able to get good quality, light shots to add to our music video.

The Availability Of The Location

The Woodman pub has specific opening times which restricts the time that we are able to film for. We can only shoot at the times that the venue is open so we we would have to work around the opening hours.

Opening Times:Mon-Thur : 11am -11pmFir-Sat : 11am - midnightSun : 11am - 11pm

When We Went To The Venue

11/05/2015Today we went to the manager of The Woodman and spoke to the manager. We told him who we were and were we were from.

We first spoke about permission and vacancy of there premises. We then explained exactly what what we would be needing and what area of the pub we would like to use for the shooting of our scene.

We were given this card so that we can further contact the manager for times and dates.

Power Sources At The Location

There are lots power sources for our equipment (eg.cammera) and are dotted around the rooms we will be using. The power sources are obstructed by tables and chairs so we may have to make room to get to them by removing some of the. We will try and charge my equipment before we go to the venue so that I don’t have to move all of the tables and chairs to plug my equipment in. Also by charging me equipment before we get to the venue it will have time at the venue as we wont have to move all the chairs and tables to plug our equipment in. The equipment we are going to be using has been safety checked by BOA and is safe to use in a public venue.

Lighting Issues At The Location

Although the lighting that the venue is bright it is not set. We can not set the light to how we want so we will have to edit it in Final Cut Pro later or add in our own lighting but it wont be professional done like I will be in the studio. By adding in our own lighting it will more time consuming than going to a professional studio where the lights are already there and can be set quick and easy to how we want the mood of the scene to be. Overall it is a bright, light venue and we are able to take good shots and edited them later.
