A2 Media - Health and Safety

The places we are intending to film generall pose no danger to the safety of the cast, we are intending to film either finchale priory or the battery in durham whichever we think is best when me and James look further in detail. From both they are sites that are often subjected to public view and so from this we can tell that in these places will be safe to be in as they will be constantly maintained to make sure that they are atractive for public viewing but at the same time to make sure that they are actually safe for the public to be around.
   Secondly in  the places we intend to film there is certaina avenue for the ability to climb on walls etc, however considering the nature of the film a music video being that it would require equipment being on the person as well this would most certainly be a seemingly bad idea, however the idea of a guitar solo could be placed on wall that was perhaps not so high off the ground but slightly elevated in order to make sure it is still safe for the actor and doesnt place them at risk and doesnt risk the damaging of any of the equipment.
   Being aware of other people around is a problem we may have to face on the day, with us recording the band playing at this these locations we will be bringing out two guitars, a bass guitar and a drum kit. Out of each of these only the drum kit will be the problem, as for the other band memebers they can basicly just mime playing the guitars or at least not have them plugged in as to reduce minimum noise volume. The drums however cannot be muted and so they will be reasonably loud which could cause a problem but this will be brought up with the place that we are filming in, we will however as much as possible keep out of peoples way and be willing to move to the most secluded place around in order to keep out of way as much as possible.
   In terms of vehicle use, we intend only to use cars in order to get to the location there will be no cars involved with the actual making of the video. I have already requested use of my friend's car who has agreed to transport people and equipment I will inquire around more so when we actually sort out a definate date for beginning the filming.
   Regarding legality we do not intend to be doing anthing that is particular obscure or that could be considered as obscene in anyway, the only possible legal problem we could face is noise however I intend to go to the locations and experiment in order to ensure that we are not violating the noise levels which i think is possibly inlikely with one set of drums however the noise level may be undesirable for the owners of the locations and visitors who will inevitably be there on the day.
