Location Scout & Risk Assesement

 

Before heading to our location to shoot the tourism ad, we list the locations and risk assessments in which we will likely shoot our film.

Location 1
Location:	Bali Festival Park, Padang Galak
Events in scene:	We'll be wandering around the site, exploring the rooms and the sight of graffiti on the walls.
Pros of location:	Perfect for urban exploring lovers The location is filled with graffiti, giving an urban vibe The location is completely abandoned which matches the theme of our tourism advertisement.
Cons of location:	Filled with wild animals Homeless people inhabiting some of the rooms Shafts dug into the ground with water in them
Alternatives:	What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here? Any abandoned buildings we find on the side of the road.
Risk Assessment
Potential hazards:	Wild animals, like snakes and spiders Shafts dug into the ground with water in them Unsafe as no official guards are present Surrounded by huge forest Homeless people living in some of the empty rooms Possibility of tsunami as the location is by the beach Possibility of building collapse as it has been abandoned for years.
Evaluate risks:	Wild animals might unexpectedly attack us Homeless inhabitants might be unfriendly Shafts can be everywhere so we have to watch our steps A tsunami might hit and completely wash off the site Building collapse might take place at any time
Control measures:	We'll make sure to wear boots and bring torches with extra batteries, and some money just in case.
Responsibility:	Kenzo (Me)
Time frame:	A few days before shooting.
Other notes:	-

Reflection: We primarily conducted the risk assessment collaboratively, with Kenneth Lee taking the lead on documenting our findings in the table. I believe that engaging in both risk assessment and location scouting is crucial, as it provides us with valuable insights into the challenges we may encounter before arriving on site. Without this proactive approach, we risk wasting significant time addressing unforeseen issues that could have been anticipated.
