Address:
|
Jl. Mayjen Sutoyo No.55, Dauh Puri, Kec. Denpasar Bar., Kota Denpasar, Bali 80112

The actor getting dragged out of the car
|
Advantages of location:
|
- Cheap, (only pay for a parking fare)
- The place is big -> many areas to film
|
Disadvantages of Location:
|
The location may be crowded, therefore there are a lot of cars parked and many people can walk by. This results in us having less chances or opportunities to film, we will spend more time filming because there is a higher chance of redo-ing the takes, maybe because of cars driving by, or loud sounds from the trolleys etc.

Personal Reflection:
During risk assessment and location scouting, I learned how essential it is to identify potential hazards and practical issues before filming. Assessing risks like weather conditions helped me understand how to ensure safety and avoid disruptions. Location scouting wasn’t just about finding a good-looking spot, it also involved checking lighting, noise, and whether the location fit the project’s mood. This process taught me the importance of balancing creativity with practicality, and I now see how important preparation is for smooth filming.
