Health and Safety

To ensure that I was safe and that the cars were not damaged whilst filming for my promotional video I had to make sure that when I was using the sliders to film the exterior of the cars that I put a towel down underneath the slider to prevent any scratches to the leather seats. I also had to be careful whilst using the tripod and dolly not to get to close to the cars and damage them. I also had to keep closing the car doors and moving out of the way of traffic while I was filming the cars interiors as cars were driving past me and I didn't want to hurt myself, damage the cars or damage the equipment. In one part of my video one of the cars that I filmed was being driven onto the drive so that I could pan the camera round and follow the car, at this point I had to make sure that I was stood back enough so that the car could pull up safely onto the drive and continue down the drive all in one long take.

I chose not to feature anyone else in my video and only focus on the cars. My design brief from my client stated that they didn't want any interviews and wanted to let the cars promote the business themselves. Due to the fact that I didn't have anyone in my video I avoided the need for talent release forms, this meant that I didn't have to wait around for anyone to sign the release forms and could arrange my filming dates quicker.
