Risk Assessment

With filming, it is critical that every aspect is risk assessed in order to ensure saftey as a group, so that no-one gets in trouble or in danger of being hurt or worse.

Below is a list of all of the things that could prove a potential hazard to the group and with the risk assessment we will hope to avoid all the dangers in filming:

  1. Filming on/near the road
The road can be very dangerous, especially in the peak times that we will be expecting to film. the main hazard is obviously walking out in front of a car. The way we will hope to avoid danger near the road is to simply be careful and make sure that there is always one person watching the traffic and making sure that the group don't stray too close.

     2.  Filming in the road

For one scene of our film, we will be required to film laying down in a road for the crash sequence, this will require great safety as we would not be able to close the street itself because it is clearly a public place. The way in which we wish to solve this problem is by filming the scene on a quiet street near one of our homes, a road well known to the members, and outside peak traffic times. We will be looking at numerous locations to film the scene to find the best place.

     3.  Dangerous props

We don't have many dangerous props in our opening, however, a few of the objects could be dangerous if we are not careful - items such as hot tea, broken glass and the knife used to cut the toast and spread the butter. Most of these can be avoided so we will just need to be careful.
