Brief Checklist

Talking to people:
Confirm ownership Exchange details Explain intentions Discuss fees/contract Editorial policy Are passes required? Availability and timings Local events Dress code Copyright issues Childrens details

My client may need my contact details to hand so I am prepared to do so Some workers at Haven Marina may ask of my intentions and the same goes for the boat owners in the Marina

I will need to discuss with my clients when I can film with them. This will need to be discussed at the end of each filming day I need to wear very warm clothes as it can be dangerous in cold conditions if I dont do so No children present. All participants are 18+.

Transport/access:
Landmarks for directions Neighbour disturbance Risk of trespass Internal access Vehicle access Toilets Traffic control needed? Shelter Safety for hazardous environments

No directions are needed as I know exactly where I need to go each time I need to film No risk. The workers at the Marina know of everyone who moors at the Marina Vehicles can easily access the Marina. Parking is also available for free Toilets are on site Building is sheltered As the Marina is located next to the water, there is a dangerous level of water near. To make sure I stay safe, I will always wear a life jacket and do exactly as the staff say As above, always wear a life jacket. Not as dangerous as being out at sea but still a risk There are boats all around but they do not cause any problems for me filming.
