Identify the equipment you need to use

Tripod Camera Battery

Examine and identify any potential health and safety issues. (Both people and

equipment related issues, e.g. crowd numbers being controlled: using safe cabling practices and video equipment being set up in a sensible location that does not

block access points or that damages the environment or

frightens livestock).

Any branches on the ground needs to be cleared in case of an incident.

Due to the roots in the ground and uneven balance, Tripod must be put in a position where it will prevent any shakiness and an uneven frame.

Check the position of the sun and lighting conditions. Good lighting, not a

lot of trees and branches that will block the sunlight.

Look for interesting shots and camera angles.

This will be done during filming.

Check the electricity supply. (For the majority of the exterior locations you will be using

battery power).

We will be using a battery.

Double check we have an SD Card with space to film with and a maximum of 2 batteries to swap with if anything. The camera will be charged overnight before the day of shoot.

Do a test sound/video recording and check for potential noise

problems.Noise problems are irrelevant as we will be putting the track on during editing.

Upload Lighting test video onto blogger via Vimeo.

Make sure everybody concerned with your video production

knows what is happening and what is expected of them when

on location.
