1.3 Bristol Blue Glass
History of Bristol Blue Glass
Bristol Blue Glass was set up in 1989 by its founders James Adlington and Peter St Clair. They have revived an ancient form of hand-blown glassmaking. These techniques can be dated back to as early 2000bc in Mesopotamia. They specialise in the cobalt blue glass but can make objects and vases in lots of brilliant colours and have recently introduced a green glass. When glassmaking was originally in Bristol is hard to ascertain but it was known to exist in England from the 1500’s. As Bristol has its harbour and links to exporting goods via the sea it is an ideal location for making these types of ware.
At one point there were 60 glass houses in Bristol and they made 50% of Britain’s glass. The processes of making the blue cobalt glass have not changed much in over 500 years and with their very skilled workforce Bristol Blue Glass make a huge array of objects.
They have two shops selling their glassware with the main shop in Brislington offering the chance to take part in glass blowing experiences.

RISK ASSESSMENT
This document sets out the guidelines for Health and Safety on the set. It will show you what are risks, how to prevent the risks, what to do if the risk happens and a scale of how likely it is to happen. It could be a high risk factor, but a low occurrence, but all eventualities have to be considered. The risk assessments are what would happen on set, not things that could hinder production ie., if rain occurs we all need umbrellas. It is more to define the events that are more likely to happen but its main objective is to keep all members of the crew safe.
It is useful for production as it means everyone is safe and they know how to deal with all eventualities if they occur.
CALL SHEETS
A call sheet comprises everyone on the crew, their phone numbers and contact information as well as where they need to be and at what time. It also includes everyone of importance not directly involved, but who may needed to be contacted on the shoot.
It is useful in production as it is all in one place everyone also knows where to look for all contact information, it keeps everyone organised and where they need to be on time.
LOCATION RECCE
We attended the location a week before the shoot date. This was to help with the Health and Safety elements of the risk assessment. To make sure we know exactly what and where we would be filming and what to expect. Especially as the location had elements of risk with high temperatures in the workshop and to make sure we all knew how to stay safe. The shop is also a working environment and would have members of the public coming in and out to purchase glassware and to just browse around, so we needed to be aware of this and to be able to factor this in when filming the shoot.
This was a really good experience and good for production as it means it would minimise the risks of surprise on the day and give us more time to film and not waste any of this time.
KIT LIST
​
The kit list is comprised of everything that is being taken on the shoot. We decided to take two cameras, one of which was the personal camera of one of the crew. A gimble which is for getting steady shots which we needed for the glassblowing scenes. We had one tripod, and one light with a light stand. We also supplied our own Christmas tree, decorations and fairy lights.
​
The good thing about having the kit list means it lets you plan ahead, what its going to be used for and stops any duplication as everyone knows what will be there and who is taking it to the shoot.
SHOT LIST
​
A shot list is used to keep everyone organised on set but this doesn't mean that it has to be stuck to, things on the set can change that and it just means that you have to adjust and tweak them to work in the environment. This list is a breakdown of every shot to be taken over the shoot. This is to try and think ahead of every angle and prompts you on shot day to make sure you cover all the angles. It also covers all the locations as we shot inside the workshop, inside the actual shop as well as outside shots.
​
This saves time on the day and makes sure you get as much filming done in the time allocated so is very useful.
