location Recce Sheet

We now had to begin doing a Recce on the location which was primarily done by Greg as it was easiest as it was his garage we were shooting within. The main problem with our location was lighting as due to it being inside a garage and therefore having no windows or method to light the room in the desired fashion for our film. We first planned on hanging a spot light borrowed from Canterbury college  above the poker table. Unfortunately we soon discovered this wouldn't work due to the weight of the light restricting us from hanging it over head. We soon resolved this by simply using a extension cable to power just a small light over head and used just a basic lamp shade to light purely the table. Our only other issue was a road that ran behind the garage but this was only a small problem as it was fairly unused and so merely had to stop filming in the unlikely scenario of a car driving past. On the day of the shoot no traffic came passed.
