Location Security
When a member of the crew or public approaches a filming location, the first person they will encounter will be a security operative in a high viz jacket and he/she will need to be friendly, polite, informative as well as a vigilant guard.These first impressions are important and will reflect the Movie Lot, the Location department and the Production as a whole.
We offer trained and experienced Film, TV and Media operatives who work as part of a competent team to contribute in making the production run smoothly, timely and within budget.
Unfortunately a fact of today’s world is that not everyone will have the best of intentions around the film set and unit base with valuable props, cable, office areas and trailers at risk, we at the Movie Lot provide a full consultancy service where we will advise on the most practical and beneficial solutions to reduce potential risks and secure high risk areas.
We pride ourselves on good communication on site and relay everything on radio from parking the crew cars to artists movements to any issues on site, a Location manager on radio will fully know what is going on around them at all times. We mainly designate an operative to Unit Base through the project and he liaises with the Unit Manager, 2nd AD, Transport Captain, Caterers and Facilities to secure and run the Base in an efficient and safe environment.
We are happy to sign any confidentiality agreements and offer a bespoke public and employers liability insurance for Film and TV at £10,000,000 (rising to £20,000,000).
All of our operatives are trained to the highest standards, governed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) our Door Supervisors follow strict guidelines that conform to British Standards BS7690, Door Supervisors Code of Conduct and BS7858 security screening.
