Location Scouting - Comp 3

These are the results of our location scouting. Every member of the group played a part in taking these pictures as well as writing the risk assessments.


Locations:

  • Pantai Sanur

  • Pantai Mertasari

  • Level 21 (indoor)

  • Level 21 (genteng biru)

  • Living World Photo Booth




Sanur

Pantai Sanur

Purpose of the shoot:

We want to create some extra footage that we can crosscut with the performance video and record some additional performance clips here

Media Language:

Sunset, empty beach, bare feet in the sand, urban costume (not beachwear)

Pros of Location: 

Very near, looks very good, cheap parking, relatively safe, easy access for equipment, many spots to choose from

Cons of Location

Could be crowded, some spots are a bit dirty, there is construction ongoing, weather is questionable early in the year

Alternative location: 

Mertasari Beach, Kuta Beach

RISK ASSESSMENT

Potential Hazards

Tsunami, Earthquake, Rain

Evaluate Risks

Big earthquakes are quite unlikely given that they occur about once every 100 years, we can ignore earthquakes and tsunamis because of that. The only possibility is rain. Little rain came in during the rainy season which may mean extreme weather conditions coming up

Control Measures and Timeframe implementation

  • Prepare a place to runaway to in the case of a Tsunami (probably Gemi’s house)

  • Prepare extra rain coats to cover electronics in the event that it rains suddenly.

  • Plan our recording day based on the weather forecast

  • Go on weekdays, forget weekends

Alternatives

  • Mertasari Beach

  • Kuta Beach



Mertasari

Location Assessment

Purpose of the shoot:

When the characters are spending time together 

Media Language:

Sunset, dark but not too dark, silhouettes, calm waters, not crowded

Pros of Location: 

Its empty most of the time, has other natural features like lake, river, and a park next to it so we can shoot other things as well,

Cons of Location

Not super far but not that close to where we all live. Farthest location from the school so far.

Alternative location: 

Pantai Sanur

RISK ASSESSMENT

Potential Hazards

  • There are some ditches that are hard to spot at night because it is not well lit.

  • Rain

Evaluate Risks

Pretty dangerous, if anyone were to fall they may get injured.

Rain will ruin the video

Control Measures and Timeframe implementation

Make sure to be aware of the surroundings before shooting, light the dangerous parts with a torch


 



Level 21 indoor

Location Assessment

Purpose of the shoot:

Date scenes

Media Language:

Bright lights showing in the brightest part of the relationship

Pros of Location: 

Lots of ambience

Cons of Location

Hard to film, public property and crowded

Alternative location: 

Living World

RISK ASSESSMENT

Potential Hazards

Crowd of people

Evaluate Risks

No space to film, people bumping into each other, walking in front of camera

Control Measures and Timeframe implementation

None, we have no rights


 




Level 21 genteng biru


Location Assessment

Purpose of the shoot:

Dates

Media Language:

Outdoors, brightly lit at night, lots of pedestrians

Pros of Location: 

Has tons of shops and cafes, so we can also shoot inside stores.

Cons of Location

Quite crowded, although we want it to be that way we could also be obstructing traffic and disturbing pedestrians

Alternative location: 


RISK ASSESSMENT

Potential Hazards

Getting hit by a car or bike.

Evaluate Risks

Not super dangerous, vehicles stop for pedestrians in this street

Control Measures and Timeframe implementation

Be wary of surroundings, have someone help block the way when recording.


 



Living World photobooth


Location Assessment

Purpose of the shoot:

To convey the message of love through the characters bonding with each other

Media Language:

Bright lighting, colourful clothes and props such as headbands, characters smiling and having fun, good decoration

Pros of Location: 

Well decorated, photogenic spots to shoot such as led light, realistic 

Cons of Location

Schedule problems, overcrowding due to rush hour; possibly delay shooting, noisy. As it is a public space it’s hard to control extraneous variables such as lighting 

Alternative location: 

Bridge in Mertasari beach conveys the same message yet it may be easier to access, cheaper option and easier to not be delayed by overcrowding or rush hour.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Potential Hazards

Faulty wires, uncontrollable crowds, fire hazard, hard to film, no space. 

Evaluate Risks

Regarding the space, as it is public it might be hard for cameramen to bring hefty equipment in tight spaces. This may delay us from getting the right shot and may hence may result in a lot of retakes over incidents such as people walking in front of cameras.


Control Measures and Timeframe implementation

Before we film, we can inspect the booth as there are multiple we can look over any wires that are open or look at the equipment in the booth to make it safe for the actors. For fire hazards or earthquakes we will make sure to implement training and drills so that we have the right resources to deal with any situation. 


Rania will be in charge of this location

Reflection: This part of the pre-production was relatively easy and fun as we were able to just go around the island taking some pictures in places we thought would have nice backgrounds for our scenes in the music video. My personal favorite would be the mertasari beach spot, as it is a place I go to often to find peace and quiet since it is a pretty secluded area with not that many people, and so it would be easy to film there with a quiet setting.
