P1(F) RISK ASSESSMENT

For this section, I had to put together a risk assessment stating the risks our group would be under during the filming process. Completing this, all the potential risks needed to be considered, in order to gather an accurate representation of the dangers that could occur. These bullet points below represent the risks our team could come across during the filming process, then the table shown below demonstrates the level of danger the risks could come under. 

Risk Assessment

While filming there is a few things you should keep in mind to keep the safety of all the actors and film markers, these being:

• When filming Ivy getting hit by and car make sure theres a sate distance and no one is in danger, but still make it look realistic, this can be used by having clever camera techniques. 

• Make sure that the all the film equipment is all in tact and theres not loose wires or cords along the ground where people could trip over then and injure themselves. 

• The locations where your filming to be careful and pre-scan them before filming to do a risk assessment, be careful of: Traffic, don't talk to strangers, don't go to friendly old mens white vans, etc. 

• Remind actors of what we would like them to wear the day before filming and on the day of filming. Also bring clothing of our own that could be used as an alternative if our actors forget 

• Ensure our group members stand either side of the tripod preventing the public from making contact. 

• Before choosing a day to film look at the weather forecast to try and ensure we pick a day where it is not raining
• When filming with the crane, be careful to ensure camera and 'add-on' equipment is well fitted, to ensure nothing falls on actors and causes harmful injury. 

This table demonstrates the risks we personally could come under when dealing with equipment and the strains we may suffer during the day, such as maintaining hydration and energised. 

Below I have included a table, consisting of images and explanations of risks and next to them, solutions. This will make it easier for me know how to prevent these issues from coming up, but if they did this also prepares me to fix problems if they did come about. 

As we will be shooting in different locations, several risk assessments will have to carried out in these different places. 

Here for example, this is one of the locations for the film shoot. This is the road which we are going to film the car crash scene on. As this is a road, important risk assessments need to be put into place, someone will be watching the road at all times to warn us if any cars are coming. This is also the location where we will be filming with the crane. So additional risk assessments will be required, in order to make sure everything is secured on the crane so nothing falls. This is to ensure that no one is injured through something falling on them from the crane, but also to ensure none of the equipment is damaged. 

The screenshot below demonstrates the location where the marriage scene will be shot. This will be in my garden so an in depth risk assessment is not highly needed. However, we will be filming under a tree, therefore it is important that we assess the risks of a branch falling on the actors.
