This article is a devastating incident that occurred on the set of Martin Scorsese's upcoming film called Silence. A Taiwanese construction worker (Chen Yu-Lung) was killed after a ceiling collapsed on top of him and two other men during pre-production of the film in the Chinese Culture and Movie Center. According to a spokes person for the film, the incident occurred after a specific building on CMPC studios backlot was said to have been unstable. The whole plan was to hire and independent contractor in order to reinforce the building and make it "safe". It is apparent that idea didn't work out all for the poor two men who suffered head and leg injuries along with the death of one person. The Taiwanese spokes man for the film also mentioned that the accident was not expected to affect the filming schedule and they must try their hardest to keep moving on. Martin Scorsese regrets the fatal accident as well, but knows that he must continue with his work. The film is due to be released by next year 2016. This is important to me as a filmmaker and student because it really makes you strongly think about how little mistakes can turn out to be deadly ones. In this case, simply choosing location for the film, but taking the risk knowing that the building was pronounced unstable. It was a dangerous decision to be made that ended badly. Everything you do in Film must be properly planned out and safety should always be your first concern. This could have taken the lives of many more if the ceiling hadn't decided to fall that early on those three men. That's why you must always take precaution when it comes to location selection and think about the cons. As a consumer, this makes me feel really bad about the families of those three men. It felt as if the incident happened, but everyone had a brief moment of sadness and then it was back to work from there. It's the sad truth, but things like these aren't supposed to stop the planning of an entire movie in the film industry. They can't afford to lose time, which is why Martin Scorsese told the public the film's schedule wouldn't be affected.This raises questions like: Are the amount of deaths on set high? Will this continue to be an issue in the future? Will dangerous location sites for action films be avoided?
