The driver who will drop us to our location.


Contact to get to the location where we are filming.


Transport/access


The driver will take all the cast and crew to the location, and will drop everyone back home after filming.

Desert /shooting next to the road – risks need to be assessed for location and PRAF done.
There are cars on the road, and quad bikes in the desert that would need to be considered if filming there.

Toilets are available in the petrol station on the way there.

Camera/sound


There are power banks and power supply available to us anywhere at the location.

There are other cars and people that could cause problems if shooting in that area.


Food 

There’s a cafe serving basic confectionery/sandwiches in the petrol station. 
Moreover, we will provide drinks and some snacks while filming, and after the work is done we will all have a picnic in the desert.

potential locations 


There are two good viewpoints by the desert, the road and the desert view (see over).  The desert itself looks quite good but there’s a lot of potential disruption from members arriving/leaving and taking part in activities and access is not easy.  (Photos available if you want to see them)
There’s a warehouse where we can shoot if we want to.  Fairly static and not particularly interesting/unusual.


Location 1 desert view 


Transport/access

Easy vehicle access to this location with a car park nearby.
The driver will be provided for all members of the cast and crew.




director issues 

There were lots of quad bikes and safari cars around to provide cutaways.
Tracking and all kinds of shots are possible 
There are no particular director issues 

Location 2 road view 


Camera/lighting issues 

The sun in the desert might cause a lighting issue. 
The ground in the desert is uneven and could be a problem for tracking 


sound issues 

This is a quiet busy location with a lot of cars and quad bikes which might be a potential sound disruption
The proximity of the desert could be a problem – cars arriving/leaving the car park and visitors can be heard.
