What will be filmed
We aim to film all of the shots on the storyboard and any extra we add in which will be the entire opening sequence. The first date will be the beginning of the film up until the flashback when the babysitter event is recalled; this scene will be filmed on the second date.
How will it be filmed
The opening scene will be filmed inside a room for the questioning using two camcorders and a tripod. On the second date, the first camera shot will be an establishing shot of the location (Alex’s house) followed by an Over the shoulder shot of Lily Grace Butler looking out the bedroom window from upstairs. The camera angles will continue as explained in the storyboard until the child and child-minder meet at the door when two cameras will be used for a shot reverse shot using both tripods.
Equipment necessary
Two HD cameras, two tripods, a small knife, butter/spread, a blank white paper book for the child’s drawings, pencil, cello tape,  red ribbon, crayons

RISK ASSESSMENT
Health & Safety issue/concern
Low risk
Medium risk
High risk
When using the knife prop, small cuts or injuries could occur if the knife isn't handled properly.

The tripod will sometimes be on uneven ground such as the pavement by the house which may fall over if there is wind. To minimise this and damage to the camcorder, it will be mounted properly and stuck with cello tape if necessary as well as never leaving the tripod unattended when the camcorder is mounted on.


(Very) low risk






Medium risk




As this isn't filmed on private land, permission is not necessary to film. The only precaution is to ensure the house is free on the day to minimise unrelated background noise and disturbance when filming.
