Firstly , if filming takes place  near the houses this means residents could potentially be disturbed and angry as they could be accidentally filmed through the window or back garden . If the park is cut from the residents houses, they have no freedom around the park and this can create complaints from the citizens. In addition, a potential risk is that if any filming equipment damages the resident’s property, it will cost a lot of money to repair the damage and may increase the budget too. However,some pros are, that the residents can help out the film crew and give them food to eat when they are on their breaks.

Secondly, a school is right behind the park. If filming took place inside the school that means a lot of children would be losing their education and this can cause a lot of job problems for people. It will also cause a lot of problems for the film budget and the film crew is not allowed to film anyone under 16 unless there is permission from the school and parents. A huge pro is that cooks and food truck drivers can be hired to use the cafeteria and make food for the crew whenever they are on their breaks.

Thirdly, if the children park is used for filming this can cause a lot of financial problems for the park and the film budget will rise higher too. A potential hazard is that if any film crew member accidental slips or trips on something they could lose their control and hit themselves on one of the playground equipment and become seriously injured.

Fourthly, local people, school children and college students may use the park in the afternoon when work, school or college finishes. If the park is shut off from the public without a strong and valid reason for filming it can create a lot of complaints. In addition, if filing does take place if people are in the park it can cause a lot of sound and noise pollution when they are trying to shoot a scene. 

Conclusion

Overall, although there some cons and risks, Stratford’s local park is a great place to film as there is plenty of space to shoot some amazing scenes.
