Location Recce Location 4: Cemetery Location: Southampton Old Cemetery Address: Cemetery Rd, Southampton SO15 7NN The aim for this shoot was to try and contain as much of the shooting within the same areas as possible where appropriate. The shooting locations were all within Southampton, including the cemetery. The cemetery offers what is needed for the shot. Both areas with heavy grassland, and more clean and concise areas depending on the director’s choice of shot. Potential dangers and hazards: - Heavy Grassland - Debris When walking around on set, it is crucial for the crew to remember that graveyards will have overgrown plants and trees around the surrounding areas. It is important for the crew to check for any potential tripping hazards with both the debris and surrounding grassland and then immediately make it aware to the rest of the crew on set. Highlighting these potentially dangerous areas, although seemingly minimal, will ensure that the crew is kept safe during filming.

Location Recce Location 3: Pub Location: The Hobbit Pub Address: 134 Bevois Valley Rd, Southampton SO14 0JZ Location 3 (Alternative): Bar Location: Orange Rooms Address: 1-2 Vernon Walk, Southampton SO15 2EJ Both venues could potentially be appropriate for the production. I have supplied two separate locations, both with different dynamics and atmospheres. The first is The Hobbit Pub located in Southampton. This pub is more run down and a traditional English pub rather than a modern day club. This could be used to create the unsettling atmosphere if needed to. The second option is The Orange Rooms, also located in Southampton. This is a more modern club which could be better adjusted if the scene were to take a more modern feel depending on the director’s decisions. Potential hazards and dangers: - Steep stairs - chairs When in a pub or bar, one thing that is almost universal is the amount of chairs. With equipment being abundant with the crew, it is important to ensure that chairs are to be kept out of the way when not in shot. These are tripping hazards and if not dealt with appropriately, could cause someone on set harm. The Hobbit pub also has exceptionally steep stairs. This will need to be briefed to the crew to ensure they take extra precautions when travelling down these stairs.

Location Recce Location 2: Car Park Location: Southampton Address: W Quay Rd, Southampton SO15 1QF Whilst trying to contain the shoot to a somewhat close proximity, the Southampton West Quay multi storey car park provides the perfect visuals for a car park scene. With a host of differing levels, we will have the option of the top of the car park or an inside car park depending on weather etc. Potential hazards and dangers: - Heights - Potential slippery surface when wet - Tripping hazards When observing the car park for potential threats, although they may be trivial, they can have serious consequences if health and safety precautions are not followed correctly. When on set, it must be ensured no member of the crew is leaning on the barriers in case of falling from the top of the building. As the image shows, the top of the car park can be subject to weather conditions. If the surface happens to be wet, you must ensure to wear correct footwear and be extra cautious of where you walk. Car parks are quite renowned for having various solid pieces of brickwork / lampposts etc. When on set, ensure the tripping hazards are pointed out to the cast and crew if there happens to be any, as well as potentially securing off areas if necessary.

Location Recce Location 1: Moor Location: New Forest Address: Ipley Manor, Ipley, Marchwood, Southampton The reasoning behind the choice of Ipley Manor is because of its vast open lands. Southampton has a wide variety of connection links and where the location is situated, it is not far from other connections in the area whether that be travel links or other film locations. It is a strong location to film the particular scene that will be shot in the Moor. The location also has a short layby to park your cars which enables easy travel and load ins when travelling in and out of the location. Potential hazards and dangers: - Roaming wildlife such as horses and cows. - Varying levels of grassland. - Open main road. When filming on set, we must ensure caution is taken for the reasons listed above. We must be aware not to disturb the surrounding cattle when filming to avoid any potential upset from the animals. As well as this, the surrounding area has varying sized hills and rough styled terrain. To avoid any person injuring themselves or others, we must ensure the correct and appropriate footwear and or clothing is to be worn during the shooting. A final potential hazard to watch out for is the open main road. If the shoot happens to take place next to the road, a member of the crew should be on constant alert for any passing vehicles.
