Pre-Production Paperwork
Introduction
Before we started filming, we have produced pre-production paperwork which is made up of production schedule, location reece, location release form, risk assessment and client release form. Creating these documents were very important as before filming, we have a clear understanding of the risks involved and that we have permission to the locations that were filming at. Without these documents, we cannot film as we may get stopped by police and may be asked to clear the area due to the set up for the thriller that we are about to film.
Production schedule
The production schedule is very important and is given out to all 4 members in the group. As each member should be aware of the information revolving the thriller such as the date, time and location.

The location reece is given out to each member of the filming team and this location reece is very important as it has the locations listed so we know where to film. This is our example of A Location Reece:
The location release form, is a very important document as its legal to discuss the terms and conditions for the company, council and people to allow our team to film in their location. This is an example of a Location Release Form:
Client Release form
The Client Release form contains the risks and locations making everyone involved of what is going on. This is our example of a Client Release form:
Risk Assessment
The reason why we have carried out a risk assessment as it is legal and it is important that the crew is prepared for a safety statement which will prevent accidents from happening while on set. This is our example of a Risk Assessment:
- It has allowed us to identify the risks that may be caused.
- It has helped my team to understand the importance of seeking permission to use various locations

Good evidence that you have thought about the legal and safety requirements of your filming. Paperwork is filled out correctly and now your group is ready to start their filming process.
