Logistics:
Car park behind the other entrance into Portland house.
Would need to get permission from The Darling Buds Nursery, situated next door. But this could be used for additional small/medium technical trucks, including grips and lighting. This will also be used to obtain a crane birds eye view shot of the building, which will pan across to show its extraordinary exterior structures.
This will also provide adequate parking that is not as easy on the roads nearby.
However, the main production vehicle's will be at unit base: The Red Dragon Centre Car Park.

Close-up shot of Portland house to highlight its Grecian design and Neo-Renaissance style. Therefore, the discourses performed with this architecture adheres to the expectations of the tourist gaze since they can be gazed upon and encourage interest & curiosity within the audience.
Contrasts with heritage & modern - surrounding buildings include expensive flats, PR agencies etc.,

Impact & Risk Assessment
Local businesses and residents nearby will need to be notified about the filming taking place. The nature of filming, however, does not involve major disruption such as firing risk or stunts. However, public liability insurance will be needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Logistics/Access:

A team of location Marshalls will be employed to 'lock off' specific areas e.g., the start of roads/corners, to avoid pedestrians getting in the shot when filming. However, when a take is complete, pedestrians will be allowed to walk through the road so that no inconvenience is caused by closing off the road for a long period of time.
The 3rd AD will need to bring in more radios for this day, so the location Marshalls know when filming is happening and can communicate this accordingly.

This location are aware of the filming process, having being used for productions such as Doctor Who, Torchwood and Casualty several times before, as advertised on their website.

Beautiful establishing shot of the exterior of Portland House.
This framing adheres to the expectations of The Tourist Gaze, including classical compositional elements that creates interest and engagement within the audience - 'beautiful images'. This includes the contrasting architecture between buildings in the area. Capitalism in urban society - demonstrates the wealth and architectural style (Ancient Greek influence e.g., pillars).

Risk Assessment:
Any filming including vehciles needs a risk assessment which will be carried out before any production activity. Also, enough rehearsal time will be allocated to this. We wanted some moving vehicle's to represent the hustle and bustle in the scene. Our two lead characters will then stand out amongst the crowd.
The 3rd AD will need to bring in additional radios for the drivers.

Filming and unit signs will be positioned around the area to notify the public.

# data[].attributes.body
Access:
Filming will take place both from the exterior and interior. However, the exterior shots will only take place over a one day period, and for this, Bute Street will need to be locked off due to the narrow space on these roads. For the rest of the days filming, it can be opened again.

Dedicated parking spaces will need to be allocated for 2x minibuses, who will be travelling to and from unit base. This is for various factors such as travelling SAs (Supporting Artists), travelling items from the 2nd AD (Assistant Director) at base, crew members with equipment, as well as items for the tea table, directors chair, cast chairs etc.,

Logistics:
As well as production/technical vehicle's needing to be parked near to the set e.g., camera and lighting, we have also thought about access/space for the following.
- Catering Ez-up
- Tea table
- outside portable toilets for crew
- Green room for cast members will be located in a venue room within Portland House itself - this will allow for costume/make-up to do final checks on cast/SAs etc., & for cast to relax in between takes

Practicalities
Accessibility
- Film permit required (apply online through the Cardiff Film Office) as it is a council-owned location
- Risk assessment and public liability interest insurance required
- The entrance to the park is easily accessible, just off a main road (Cowbridge Road East)
- No designated car park but there is on-road parking surrounding the rest of the park
- No through road on one side of the park - unit base could be set up here as the public/vehicles are already restricted in this area
Sound
- The bandstand where filming will take place is located further up the park, away from the main road
- With only the one main road it minimises sound issues stemming from the surrounding environment

Impacts
- notify businesses on the main road as they may face economic impacts e.g., less visitors to the park therefore less visiting the local shops/amenities
- notify residents to ensure there is enough room for the vehicles/trailers, to avoid disruption, as residents park outside their homes
- not necessary to close off the main road however location Marshals can guide pedestrians safely past, or allow residents in the surrounding houses through

Compositional Elements
Rule of thirds
Contrasting colours

Accessibility
- the bandstand is located at one end of the park with gates located at a few points around it
- this shot is taken from a side where beyond the gates there is terraced housing and on-road parking (residents vehicles and visitors to the park)

Impacts
- residents would need to be notified of the filming, even though the houses are not being filmed
- the grass may be used for equipment if necessary but, due to the intimate nature of the finale shot, it is likely that moving equipment in and out of the park will be easily done

Additional Location marshals will be employed to help 'lock off' the area when filming is happening.

The small, local business essence of the pantry makes it very intimate and the color contrasts with subtle lighting fits well within the romantic genre.

Compositional techniques like leadings lines and rule of thirds can be used to draw attention in certain scenes

-Road near the shop may have to be blocked, permits to be applied at Cardiff Film Office
- Location Marshall's will be employed to lock off surrounding roads when filming is happening

The Secret Garden Florist breathes an air of romance into the location immediately allowing for an idyllic atmosphere with the use of warm colours and flowers. We felt that stalls like this will help to create the intimacy needed for the romantic moments of the scene.

More intimate shot - compositional elements are evident.

The rule of thirds is prevalent in this image and is used to place the audience directly into the quaintness of the location. In each stall is a collection of different products and cultures brought together in one singular location where everyone can interact. Placing the contrasting backgrounds of the two leads here allow for them both to be introduced into the community.

Ease of access to Cardiff market is difficult but not impossible. As it is in the central area of Cardiff, travel would have to be more considered when planning the nature of the shoot, however, there are many car parks nearby and hotels to allow for multiple days of shooting. Nearby are local parks which, depending on the size of the shoot could be used for trailers if needed. However, as a more intimate shoot, it is most likely this is not.

Cardiff Film Office allow for the application of filming at the location of Cardiff Market which appears a straightforward process. They offer information on the fees of permit charge as well as the guidance of traffic management. As Cardiff Market is more in the centre of town and as the shoot is mostly interior bar a few exterior shots, it is likely that no roads would have to be closed off to accommodate as St Mary Street is currently pedestrian-friendly.

However, it is also important to consider the businesses inside the location as depending on how much of the location is used and how long the shoot is as it will cause disruption to them. In addition, it may also affect pedestrians in the area.

Filming and unit signs will be distributed around the area to ensure that everyone is aware of filming taking place.

An exterior shot of the location, this photo acts as an establishing shot to both the lively environment and intimate atmosphere of Cardiff Market important to the themes of the brief. The shot also adds to the heritage value of Cardiff, as the Victorian exterior allows for the romantic aura the period has come to represent in popular media.
