Unit 41 Recce Report



Location 1- Interview with QUIR
Norwich, Under a bridge by a river and train line

Location on Map


Description of Location

A small slope under a bridge. Solid ground with some concrete slabs which are useful for placing tripods on. There are flat areas which will be where the interviewee (Quir) will be able to sit. 
The accessibility is reasonably easy. acces is through a public open space and along the river. Ideally shouldn't be accessed when dark because the river could cause a hazard. Bringing a torch is recommended incase filming continues on late.  
The lighting is quite limited because of the dense coverage by trees and bushes but the arch of the bridge creates a lighting effect which acts to highlight the interviewee whilst keeping the rest of the shot relativly dark. This is desirable because of the effect that is hoping to be achieved
Sound recording could be an issue because of the the neighbouring train track and the sound oftrains coming past. This could drown out some of the audio. Although getting an audio sample of the trains could be usefull for other parts of the soundtrack of the film.



Location 2- interview with Big
Cambridge, Mill Road, warehouse
Location On Map
Discription of Location
The location is on Mill Road Cambridge in a warehouse we have achieved permission to film in. so accesablity is not an issue. there is a window and 2 shutters. With these closed the place is completely dark. Raising the shutters brings light into the warehouse. Opened half way the lighting will achieve a silhouette effect on the interviewee (BIG) which is a desired effect because the subject wants to remain anonymous. There is a small table which is ideal for the subject to sit on. Also the background of the shot there is graffiti which is suited to the subject topic. Sound recording may be an issue because there is a slight echo in the warehouse. To make sure there is no detrimental effect on the audio recording a sample audio should be recorded. Movement of filmers and miscellaneous sounds should be kept to a minimum because the sound is amplified.
