Risk Assessment

The last post brings me on to this. We need to think of the health & safety risks whilst recording. Whilst we are recording we are going to have to think about the wires that will be trailing from the camera to the external monitoring kit. To do this we are going to tape the wires down to the floor.

Other risks would be spills from the coffee that were going to use to make the title for the film, so were going to have to keep the electrical equipment away from the coffee.


Some scenes will be shot on a busy road, to prevent any accidents we will be staying on the path and being being very aware of traffic flow.





During the bus shots we will be using heavy equipment on a moving vehicle therefore could cause injures to passengers on the bus, to prevent this from happening we are going to be sensible with the equipment placement and be aware of the bus braking and accelerating and situations on the road.


Incase of an emergency Connor is a trained life guard, and I have passed basic first aid so we will have an understanding of how to resolve a problem, we will also carry phones with us to call emergency services if necessary.





Below is a formal list of risks and preventions, we will take this out with us when we film, and show it to our actor beforehand to ensure he is aware of the potential risks and responsibilities for filming.



Now that we are fully aware and have considered the risks, we can look at finer details like the costume.
