Filming at Crystal Palace Train Station:
We carried out some filming at Crystal Palace Train Station and in order to have access to the station platforms we needed to gain permission from the station master. Upon arrival at the station, we spoke to the security at the platform barriers and asked if we could speak to the person in charge of the station. He directed us to the office where we showed our student ID cards and explained the reasons why we wanted to film on the platform.
We were granted permission by the manager to film on site so we proceeded to the platform where we spent roughly 45 minutes filming and then returned our visitors passes to the manager on the way out.
Filming at South Norwood Recreation Park:
For filming at South Norwood Recreation ground we did not need to gain any permission as it is a public park and we were able to film where we wanted.
Assessing Risks:
At both locations there were potential risks, for example at the Train Station we had to be careful we didn't go too close to the platform edge, we had to make sure our filming equipment did not get in the way of commuters travelling around the station, this is a reason we chose to go at a less busy time so that we wouldn't be all in the way. We also had to make sure we looked after the equipment so that it didn't get damaged or stolen.
The risks that were involved when filming at the park were that there was a big lake and although it is seperated from the pathway by a pavement, it is important that we stay behind the barrier and not go closer than we are allowed. There was a childs playground on entrance to the park where we filmed just outside of it, we had to make sure we did not get in the way of children who are playing and we had to notify any parents in the play area of what we were doing just so that they knew what we were recording.
During the filming of our production we did not come across any problems as we had assessed the risks involved and identified ways around them.
