Location Survey

As part of our Thriller we needed to decide where we were going to film and the main thing we were looking for was a high place on top of a cliff or hill. We came up with the location Beachy Head in Eastbourne. This would give us some effective shots off the cliff and by having the character just standing there by himself with the red balloon it will look awesome. Underneath is the details of how to get to the location and the address. 


Location:

Beachy head
Eastbourne District 
East Sussex
England


We decided to get the directions from Maddy's house, who is located in Horsham,  as she is the one who will be driving. As Tom lives in Burgess Hill and Matt lives in Plumpton, we needed a way to make it a shorter drive. To make it easier Tom and Matt would be going to Haywards Heath Station to meet Maddy who will carry on driving to Beachy Head.
   

By using the AA website we could choose a starting point off the drive and the end point, also with a via point. This gave us the full directions and how long the drive is going to take. The drive is going to take 1 hour and 20 minutes but if traffic is bad this could take much longer. (The Route)


A few other bits of information which may be needed whilst we are up there.


Nearest Hospital: Eastbourne District general hospital.
Nearest Police Station: Seaford, Sussex Police Station
Local Taxi Company: 720Taxis Eastbourne 01323 720720


No Other means of travel are needed as we are driving to the location but if needed we will have to use the local train station, Eastbourne Station, which has services to Brighton and Haywards Heath, so either way we can easily get there if anything bad happens such as Maddy's car decides to break.

What Technical Facilities are there?
None, Beachy head is very remote and we will have no technical facilities nearby, however we will have Maddy's car. We must ensure that we have all the equipment such as the The Camera (Sony HDR XR550V Camera), Tripod, Any Sound Equipment and Any Lighting Equipment. All equipment is fully charged and working before we leave otherwise we would have wasted a trip to Eastbourne and petrol is very expensive these days. Space for filming shall be no issue, beachy head is extremely large and open. We also need to make signs to alert people that we are filming to they do not interrupt us.

Cast and Crew Facilities?
There is not many places nearby where we are recording, except The Beachy Head Hotel which is also a Pub. This will be useful if food or drink is needed or if any of us need to use the toilet. If weather gets so bad, we will check before we leave because we don't want to film in the rain, we have Maddy's car to sit in just incase.
