Crime Documentary Opening Project
Location 1


Location 1 |
Location: | Sanur Beach (Segara beach) |
Events in scene: | In this scene, 2 best friends are hanging out together and capturing their moments before going to university. |
Pros of location: | - Great environment setting
- Can visit anytime and is free to shoot there as it is a public location
- Near each other's house so we can visit often if needing to reshot or do any improvements.
|
Cons of location: | - Environment may be crowded especially we are going to film this on the weekend
- Sound or microphone difficulty due to the gusting wind can disturb the clearance of the audio.
- The unpredictable weather, raining in the beach could disturb the shooting
|
Alternatives: | Swimming pool inside a friend’s house |
Risk Assessment |
Potential hazards: | - Wind causing a sand going inside the actress’s eyes
- Bugs because it is outdoor and might harm the actress
|
Evaluate risks: | Strong wind in the morning that might cause the actresses to be ill. |
Control measures: | If the weather is really bad we could use our alternative location to shoot as we prioritise the actresses well being. |
Responsibility: | Making sure that the audio is clear, especially outdoors which we could be done with using our phone / microphone. |
Time frame: | In the morning at 8 am |
Other notes: | Bring hat and sunglass since the weather most likely will be hot, find areas that are less crowded. |
Location 2

Location 2 |
Location: | Classroom |
Events in scene: | - Interview of the detective and the assailant
|
Pros of location: | - Well maintained
- Clean environment
- Easy to alter props as we already gained permission to go in and out
- Stable lighting throughout the classroom
|
Cons of location: | - Will have to pay extra attention to the props since its school property meaning we shouldn't break any props
- Gaining the permission from the school can take time as it needs to be approved by the principal
- As we only use one class it doesn't have that much variety of what shots we can take
- High traffic area
- Not all of our houses are near the school making transportation a bit of a hassle which makes it harder for us if we need to retake those specific scenes
|
Alternatives: | |
Risk Assessment |
Potential hazards: | - Earthquake
- Fire breaking out
- Broken school equipment (chair, table, boards, projector, etc)
|
Evaluate risks: | - Seek shelter but us students have learned safety drills on how to properly evacuate when there's an earthquake
- Again us student have learned the proper safety drills but teachers and security guards on site also learned how to properly distinguish a fire
- Have to take accountability for those broken equipment but in school there's a clinic and first aid on hand near our classrooms just in case an accident was about to fall out causing the actors/production team to get injured.
|
Control measures: | - We can't control when or how a natural phenomena happens which is why we can minimise the risks by knowing safety drills and have backup location on hand which allows us to retake the whole scene.
- Having someone in charge of props and mise-en-scene in order for us to pay extra attention to those props and to further minimise accidents on site.
|
Responsibility: | All of the crew on site |
Time frame: | Any time of day but more leaning to morning-evening |

- Taking place in a cafe which gives a sense of urgency especially portraying an important moment
