Filming a fire

Today I shot the scene with a fire that I wanted. I had planned ahead by booking this date with everyone who needed to be involved to help supervise such as the deputy head of the school, the school caretaker and before starting the fire we had a health and safety officer inspect the area and equipment to make sure it was safe to light the fire. We also booked a day that was in the school holidays therefore no children would be present in the school whilst the fire was lit.
