Control Measure

1

Cast, Crew and Public

Animals

/

 

 

As it is a public space, especially a wide plot of land, it was expected for dogs to interrupt. However, they are under the control of their owners, and therefore the only control measure that can be taken is to avoid interaction in order to avoid damage to the shot/equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

2

Cast, Public and Crew

Crowd/Public

/

 

 

When questioned, simply explain the topic of the scene that is being shot. Answer their concerns and questions.
