Location Recce - Oast Theatre

The Oast theatre in Tonbridge is perfect for the performance sections of our song. It is a fairly small theatre, but has a stereotypical stage and auditorium. The location should therefore look far more professional than anything we can set up and gives us plenty of room. There is also a possibility that we will have access to the lighting and sound which I have experience with, this would potentially lead to some very interesting lighting effects, and the speakers would make lip-syncing easier.

 

 Risks

-The action would take place on a stage, therefore there is the small risk of falling off, damaging people or equipment. We could prevent this by keeping the steps by the stage as well as ensuring people are not blinded by the lights.

-Another risk is the lighting and sound equipment, they are delicate and powerful meaning if not warmed up initially they can be damaged, and this is something we need to be particularly careful to avoid since it is a working theatre. To prevent this we would have the lights on a very low setting and while they are doing this, practice shots and movement.

-There is a small possibility the stage will be set for a play, hopefully we would be able to remove anything that does not work with the film however doing so could be dangerous, pieces of set could fall on people, we could be hurt moving the pieces and sharp objects such as nails could be on the stage. In order to reduce risk we will comb the stage carefully as well as getting assistance if we move items around.
