Unit 4 working to a brief Task 2

The Brief was set by the local organisation River Tees Rediscovered to make a new promotional video for them showing a guided Walk through Thornaby Woods following Bassleton Creek, the making of Bat Boxes, A tour of the Tees Barrage specifically it's control centre,  a water Pumping station in Darlington.


During Pre Production of the video there was few pieces of paperwork other then some limited planning and scheduling for who will film what segment but there was little or no planning regarding what would be filmed other then get a few establishing shots and interview a few people.










Legal and ethical considerations
When Filming in a wild life environment there appears to be very few legal considerations if any. if there are any considerations they would appear to be mainly ethical.
  
The screen cap above shows the principles of filming in a wild life environment and the screen cap below shows the guidelines for working in the field





The two sources above are the research I performed about filming in a wild life environment. but the filming of the segment  was apart of we were given permission to film the people taking part of the walk but we couldn't get them to sign the necessary forms on the day of the guided walk because it started to rain so we had to stop filming


The client requested that the Video would be roughly five minutes in length and highlight four specific locations  and/ or events that the client sponsors and that the video had to be appropriate for all audiences. The format of the video was to be a interactive media video. the video was filmed in HD 1080 and the file format of the finished video was requested to be a AVI file
