News Production: Location Recces- Live Broadcast
Live Broadcast
Today me and Jack went to the Medway Maritime Hospital in order to see any risks or hazards and plan for our time filming there in general. A problem we came across when recceing was the traffic noise. We didn’t have the equipment to see how we could change this so will try and put some measures in place for the final shoot. This could include using clip mics which although wouldn’t cancel the background noise out completely, could help reduce it significantly. We also came across a problem with the parking; there was a large queue to the hospital car park and the parking was quite expensive so we drove around to see if we could find any closer parking near the filming location. To our surprise there was some right next to it, however it was permit holders only. There was a place we could park further down which was a 10 minute walk away from where we were filming so we will just have to count for that time on the shoot day (Monday 16th October). It was only £1.00 parking which is worth saving the money for the walk, we can now accommodate it time wise, especially if we only have 20 minutes to do the interview.
Another problem we came across was the people in the public, local housing who were crowded around the sign we’re due to film in front of. We would therefore have to make it clear we are filming with a sheet of proof, risk assessment and high visibility jackets. The high visibility jackets are also important to have when filming next to a road of traffic so our presence is prominent.
I’m glad me and Jack went to reccee the location today as it meant we could plan well in advance so we aren’t late and don’t waste any time on the actual day of shooting. We came across some issues we may have with the location on the day but those are dependable variables that can be prevented by planning parking, information and equipment. All being well the live broadcast shoot should be successful.
