Lighting Information:
There is are fluorescent overhead lights
available, as well as lamps which can be hung
from the rafters or rested on a solid surface.
Torches are on hand as well.

Sound Information:
Whilst the house itself is quiet, being in the
attic means that traffic can be heard. This is not
a concern, however, as my project is stop
motion and does not require the sound to be
recorded on location.

Solutions:
As there are no windows in the attic, I do not
have to concern myself with blocking out the
light to prevent discrepancies between frames.
Batteries will be kept on hand to supply the
torches. The lamps are powered by mains
electricity, although additional bulbs will be on
hand.

Power Information
Solutions:

itself, as well as an extension lead to power any well as a spare in case one breaks. Additionally,
additional appliances.

more time available to focus on recording the
production, the more time there is to refine,
improve and edit.

Hazards
One of the earliest hazards I will face
during production is falling down the
ladder/hatch to enter the attic.
There is also the risk of knocking my
head against the ceiling as the roof can
be rather low at times.
There is the very minimal risk of
electrocution from the open sockets on
the extension lead.
Dropping/shattering lightbulbs will
mean that glass litters the floor.
Stepping on this will result lacerations,
and should be avoided.

Solutions:
I will take care to ascend the ladder
slowly. Likewise, I will carry any
equipment up in separate trips so as
that it does not get damaged, and I do
not get injured.
I will ensure that I keep low and do not
stand up until there is adequate room.
Everything will be stored away from the
lead, especially small objects which
could get lodged in the sockets.
Likewise, I will not touch the actual
sockets until the mains power is turned
off.
I will wear slippers whilst working in the
loft in anticipation for the worst case
scenario. I will also keep a dustpan and
brush and spare bulbs on hand in order
to tidy the mess and replace the
expended item.
