You're going to be filling in some risk assessment sheets before you begin filming. We'll use these as a basis for discussion so that I'm satisfied that you're not going to endanger yourselves (or anyone else) or do anything daft during the production process. Please also bear the following points in mind:
1. If you are filming in a public place try to get permission from whoever is in charge of the particular place. Use your judgement on this - filming a character walking down a residential street shouldn't present any problems. However, a gun-toting pursuit through the centre of town will require some fore thought.
2. Don't ignore traffic - I want you focused on your coursework but not to the extent that you ignore tonnes of metal whizzing past you in close proximity.
3. Don't film anything that looks as if it is illegal.
4. Maintain your good manners when dealing with or encountering members of the public.
5. Don't trespass because you think that you've found a particularly authentic location.
6. Don't film anywhere dangerous.
7. Think about what you're doing and what you are asking your actors/actresses to do - if it doesn't seem right then don't do it!
The golden rule is to discuss your plans with me thoroughly before you go out to film - this should allow us to avoid any mishaps.
