Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment
It is essential that I produce a risk assessment for the task at hand. This is so that i am prepared for any unexpected incidents, and so that i can weigh up my options if something has a too high risk. I need to ensure that a consider all of my ideas and the risks that come with them. Luckily i plan to film the actors inside, with a few shots from the outside looking in. 
RISK

  1. Filming on hard to reach or uneven ground - assess the area for unseen hazards and take your time to reach the area. Make sure people have full concentration throughout.
  2. Filming near roads - Be constantly aware of traffic, don't get too close to the roads or do anything that could be dangerous.
  3. Weather when filming outside - Make sure everyone wears suitable clothing as you can be outside for a long period of time.
  4. Rain- Ground can be wet and unpredictable to work on, equipment may get damaged 
  5. USB lead for camera- Can be unreliable as leads for the cameras from school are often broken, double check its in good condition.
  6. Permission- Some areas you will need permission before filming.
  7. Unpredicted problems- always have a back up plan of what to do if something happens to prevent you taking photos e.g) Unpredicted bad weather, think of a suitable place to take photos in doors.
  8. Filming within school- Ensure you film at a time when there are few people around e.g. Not at lunch or break.
  9. Tripping up when running up stairs - Ensure that actors are extremely cautious and understand that they don't have to take a risk.
