Risk Assesment

  1. Risk – Breaking/damaging the equipment during filming or during transport.
Level of risk – Medium
What’s at risk? – Camera and Tripod
How to avoid the risk – To offset and prevent from this risk occurring we have taken some selective measure to ensure the equipment remains safe. The camera will be attached to the tripod at ground level; this will reduce the impact on the camera if it were to fall. This would not entirely stop the danger but reduce damage inflicted. All equipment when not in use will be put straight into the protective packaging and stored out of way of filming to ensure no damage from the actors other unforeseen scenarios.

  1. Risk – Losing/stealing of any equipment/props
Level of risk – Low
What’s at risk? – Props and equipment
How to avoid the risk – All equipment from when it is in my possession will be kept inside a secure house overnight and transported by car to and from shooting. While at shooting equipment when not in use will either be locked into the car out of sight or kept within hands reach from myself or another actor. Also a check will be carried out every hour that all the equipment is present.

  1. Risk – Trip hazards
Level of risk – Low
What’s at risk? – All personal
How to avoid the risk – Picking a route for the actors and others to travel to and from the shooting or during the shooting while the actor is running. Clearing the floor space to set up a five metre radius for the filming location and a 1 metre channel for the actor running.

  1. Risk – Other people in the area
Level of risk – Low
What is at risk? – All personal
How to avoid the risk – Not to start filming if there is suspicious people around and also to watch out not to disrupt other peoples day with our filming. This is due to the majority of our locations being public land.

  1. Risk – Complications with public
Level of risk – Medium
What is at risk? – Anything
How to avoid the risk – Make sure not to infringe on peoples personal space or personal affairs. Making certain not to film anyone in my film that I don’t have permission from or who does not want to be filmed. This is done by checking the background for passers-by.

  1. Risk – Illness
Level of risk – Medium
What is at risk? – All the personal
How to avoid the risk – Tell all personal to bring warm clothing for cold days and sun screen for hot days. As well as to inform someone if they feel sick, or have been sick. Filming will not continue in the same location if someone becomes sick.
