Preparing to shoot on location

It is important to make a plan before going to shoot film or audio on location because you need to find out weather situations and how crowded the area is going to be. If you know you'll be in a location such as, a stadium before a football match then you know there would be drunken people interrupting your broadcast, also it would effect the audio if there are many loud people in the background.
If you do not plan complications could arise such as if you do not check the weather you might not have the right equipment. Or if you are not organised then everything could be disfunctional and not go to plan. If you don't have the right microphones for the weather then that could ruin the whole broadcast if you cannot hear the presenter.

In this clip the things I would have done differently if I were directing the report would be checking the location again and the positioning of the reporter, he was stood on a ski slope and right in the middle of people slaying. If he was stood in another place, closer to the camera he wouldn't have got hit by the people skiing. Also if he was stood closer to the camera the audio would have been picked up better because it sounded quite faint.
