Directly above us at 11:00 and begins to move out of view at 16:00 in August. The chronological nature of the shoot means the rise/fall of the sun is conducive to the beginning/middle/end arc of narrative) Directly above us 10 seperate mains adaptor located on the walls of the Lower Concourse. I will bring an extension lead as well 100 x 70 metres approximately n/a PCs and Macs available both in/out of nearby offices for playback Yes Space is hired for us and room will be available for coats/ bags/ equipment as well Levi Nothing will trigger the fire alarm. I will notify Cast and Crew of any test fire alarms in advance if applicable Acoustics are decent although not relevant as audio will be added in post-production. There will be no ADR. However, the Audio from the opening bell-ringing scene will be captured diegetically using Zoom mics. 200-300 metres from location - but as we are inside behind closed doors it will not be an issue/ distraction to the actors Windows above location could potentially reveal aircraft travelling overhead but would be edited out accordingly with minimal fuss. Wires will be used for the Camera charger will need to be gaffer taped to the wood floors with care. Students will NOT be in college as all courses will have finished by this point. However, Summer Schools and other Taster Day events may be running so dividers will be put up to organise the stage as seperate/ out of bounds for said stragglers. The windows above the lower concourse reflect the weather on to the Lower Concourse and serves the monochrome look of the project well. From laptop and Speakers - although not overly necessary as there is no lip-sync or performance of the song in this narrative Air conditioners will be left on for us (even though there are no student in the college) and fridges will be available both in the Cantene and the Art Staff Room

Wooden floors
Floor is glossy hardboard wood which is cleaned daily. It is essential that we do not leave marks Ciara Baron (LV3 Art student) to document the music video production and, potentially, capture cutaways for the narrative Acoustics are good so mini team meetings before each scene will suffice - no need for speaker system to communicate with team as they will be briefed before and during their role on set begins Levi De Sousa and I will have an HD handicam for cutaway shots White backdrops are available if necessary. Blue dividers will be dragged in to position in the morning to isolate the set from the rest of the college Induction is 2 weeks after the shoot so we will have no overlap with other BCoT events Will Daniels, Pepieter Pugsley, and Hollie Startup - roles TBC
