In terms of health and safety, we moved all unused wires and lights in the TV studio to aside to avoid tripping over during filming and setting up.
On the 1st day in the studio, we did a little read through a little script (thriller, crime based) that my peers and I came up with to bring some enthusiasm into the task regardless of its simple and easy targets we will have to meet, as well as testing the lighting on the left image so that the lighting shines dominantly on the suspect in a room which would almost be considered 'dark'.

In these 2 images, we are setting up 2 cameras so that one is behind me and the suspect in a 180 degree essence. We were also setting up the briefcase as our dominant prop where we experimented with trying to light it up from the inside with our phones to give the impression of something important an valuable inside. We dropped this idea after the effects not catching up the cameras, but it's worth considering this method of lightning in the post- production/ editing stage.
To keep with the continuity aspect needed to pass the task, we've made sure as a group that the room stays as it is and that we keep constant in our outfits in shots especially as we end up filming over one day easily. It's fortunetly a locked room in which our teacher has the keys for, so it only involves going to his office and asking for his keys to get in the room filming.
So far we have filmed most of the task inside the TV studio with enough shots (and bloopers for that matter) to give us enough choice of best audio/ shots when editing sooner or later.
Good use of detail, Matthew, with appropriate acknowledgement of the key technical areas and a useful Health and Safety check!
