DIGITAL NEWS: LOCATION RECCE

While we're waiting for our contacts to get back in contact to book a student nurse for the live interview, we went out and recce'd our locations for the shoot.

Maidstone Studios - Base Room
In our base room we want to use the corner where the sofas are for the tech review so the focus can be on the speaker and it can be a chilled environment. As well as this we want to use one of the lecture rooms to set up the fake photo shoot for George as this location would be best to set up a back drop for a 'photoshoot'. We would also have the set up for making the projector here. We do have to request these locations through Laura which I have emailed ahead and requested.

Bower Street - Gavin's House

At my student house in Maidstone, I have my own 'Green screen studio' set up in my basement. This is where we'll film all the green screen footage because we can use this area anytime and for as long as we like. I also have the lighting needed to light the green screen correctly so this helps us in this area as well. I checked with my landlord and he was more than happy for us to use this basement as a make shift Green Screen Studio.

Rochester - George Wing's Student House
For the majority of the filming, we'll be using George Wing's student house. This is because his room looks like a student room, his kitchen is small and a good size for the LED light set up, the bathroom is a good size and there is also a corner section with couches which we can use for the projector 'being used' at the end of the DIY building. George has checked with his landlord and other flatmates and they're all happy for him to film at this location.

Gillingham - Medway Maritime Hospital
For the 'live interview' we want to film the nurse at a location that is relevant. One of the most well known hospitals is Medway Maritime which the BBC and ITV use often for news broadcasts (according to their press office.), Jack also tells us that one of the nurses that he contacted works at this hospital so it would be the ideal location if we got her to be the interviewee. Jack has contacted the press office and they've informed him that we just need to give a date and they can give us filming permission for the location.
