This shoot should require team to be on set a maximum of  1 hour, though in likeliness we will be there no longer than 30 minutes. It is simply one shot of the character kissing a random girl on the dancefloor, in a montage of flashbacks. This shot should last no longer than 10 seconds.

All members of the team will be pre-briefed on conduct and safety procedures and exits before shooting and will adhere to the relative host’s requirements under Health and Safety.

Due to the nature of the drama being shot and our planning, the actors will wear planned but normal clothed costumes but no safety equipment will be required.
