SWOT Analysis

Time, weather, clothing + issues encountered with each

Time: If we are going for a neutral or sunny setting we will have to go out at mid-day when the sun is at its highest. This would work fine for the Crescent and the Royal Crescent, however the park would not work so well, due to the vast amount of trees on set. The Royal Crescent may present problems at this time of day, due to the amount of tourists which may cause an issue when trying to get silence when filming. In addition, it may take at least 10-20 minutes to get down to the set and so we will have to plan ahead when it comes to those sorts of things.

Weather: Time is a big issue when it comes to particular parts of the film as we will have to have a certain weather type including: cloudy, sunny, rainy or neutral. This is very hard to get right with British weather and with winter coming up, it could mean that it will be more dark in the morning and in late afternoon. We will have to make sure that we come on set at the right parts of the day and ensure that we get the right type of weather for the mood of the scene.

Clothing: When it comes to clothing we may use a wide range of clothes with a wide range of colours. This may affect how the shots look but we should try and keep to the theme of the site - no bright over colourful clothing that may look out of place. When filming in the royal crescent we will be shooting at around 12 o'clock to fit with the time in the film, so clothing colours should not be much of an issue. 

Issues: Car plates are a big issue - we will have to avoid getting them in shot so it becomes a little easier when it comes to editing the film. This is the same with shops, we will have to ensure that the logos are not in shot when filming. Hopefully when it comes to the shots that are going to be used in the film no car plates will be visible in the shot and if they are we may have to use a different shot angle.
