Risk Assesment.

As part of our planning for our final film piece we have taken into account some likely risks.
While filming in my bathroom we need to take into account dropping the camera in the sink, slipping over in the shower when filming. These risks can be reduced by cleaning the shower before filming in there, and not wearing socks in there. And keeping the camera on a tripod so we are unable to drop it. My bathroom is rather small, so if a lot of people are moving around tripping over peoples feet or the legs of the tripod could occur, this could be prevented by only having the people we need in the bathroom.

While filming outside in the dark, we may experience a lot more accidents, this could be wiped out due to having torches, and making sure we are aware of surroundings and be careful when we are moving around. As we plan to film near busy roads, we need to watch where we are going so we don't end up going off the path by accident. Whilst filming the knife shot, be extra careful when handling the knife and make sure no one steps on it when it's on the floor. Filming on a bike could cause a lot more accidents, so we must make sure we are familiar with the surroundings we will be riding in, be careful whilst riding the back and make sure we don't drop the camera.

While filming the swings in the park, make sure people don't walk directly in front of the swings so decreases the risk of getting hit. While Filming in the dark we may run into other members of the public, this could be wiped out by using torches while filming and being careful and stay aware of surroundings. Also hitting people, the camera, or the window whilst throwing objects out of the wardrobe is a big problem, we need to make sure we aim where we will throw the objects and practice it before using the camera. Also being chased by Dogs in Balskell Park could be a big problem, we need to make sure there aren't any dogs close by before we film.


Now we have identified the risks we can illuminate injuries to cast members or any memebers of the public.
