Risk Assessment

When filming we must follow several safety rules and regulations, we must also use simple common sense when filming. Some of our locations contain danger but can be easily avoided with simple common sense. Our starting location of Ward Royal contains the following dangers:

• When filming on a road we must be aware of approaching cars, when filming near hidden corners we need to have someone with a full view of approaching cars.
• Filming at heights for some shots can cause some danger or potential damage to the camera, we must make sure we hold the camera through the strap.

The second location we use is Jason’s house this location contains minimal danger:

• The use of fake drugs is a potential health danger, we used flour because we know it can be easily digested. We needed to get the shot right on the first time because our actor couldn’t repeat it constantly.
• One shot contains Jason hitting a fridge in anger, this must be shot well and acted well without causing any pain to our actor.

We then finally use the location of a toilet to act as our kidnapping location:

• One shot is the swing of the steel bar, this shot must be taken with care but also look professional, the fact we took the shot from behind Lucy allows us to take more of a space between the characters.
