Location Checking and Trial Filming

We decided to check out the location before the actual film day to make sure it was suitable, as there are a lot of elements we had to consider.

Whilst as the location (The Boardroom) we has to check feature that would affect the quality of the video, such as lighting and sound. We also looked at how busy the space got as too many people would obstruct the video and may cause problems when filming.  Fortunately the area had ample light and space, and barely anyone else around. However, sound was a little bit of an issue as being an inner-city location there was a fair amount of background noise. Yet, this could be a nice touch to the video add an atmospheric element. Another minor issue was that the area is used for parking, however the video was not meant to be squeaky clean. This just adds to the street and urban feel of the video that we were originally going for anyway.

As well as checking the location for the quality of filming we also had to make sure it was suitable for the break dancer. As the breakdancer will be using a lot of the floor space for spins and flares, all parts of his body comes into contact with the floor. Some of the floor will be useable for smaller moves, however he may not feel comfortable doing other moves as the ground was rough and dirty. For the more complex moves we shall be using The Boardroom Skate Park, which has the perfect flat and smooth surfaces for the dancer to perform.
