You would need to take a camera, microphone, mobile phone, notepad, risk assessment, directions, student ID card, brief and a checklist.
With talking to people you need to confirm ownership, exchange details, explain intentions, discuss fees/contract, editorial policy, are passes needed, availability, timings, local events, dress code, copyright issues, children's details.
When thinking about transport/access you need to include landmarks (for directions), neighbour disturbance, risk of trespass, internal access, vehicle access, toilets, traffic control, shelter, safety for hazardous environment, tidal waters and boats/safety.
You'll also have to think about camera/lighting like the position of the sun, window direction, power supply, size of location, strobing,TV/computer screen, is floor level, secure place for it, cables and smoke alarms/sprinklers.
With sound you have to listen, look for traffic/aircraft/school noise, see if there are any electrical hazards, weather/background/air conditioner music can impact sound and wooden floors can overpower the sound.
Things for director: photos, GVs/top shots, cutaways, backgrounds, events and additional contributors.
Food and accommodation are vital to sustain filming at a maximum ability.
