Risk Assessment

Risk Identified Shooting Location Responsibility Strategy to Overcome/Prevention

Weather Outdoors N/A

To prevent having to film in bad weather, I will check the weather forecast for the days we need to film outside, this is because rain and bad weather will be inconvenient as it may affect the sound and can damage the equipment.

Illness / injury AllActor / myself and

Gillian

Incase an actor is injured or falls ill during the filming, I will make sure someone else is there as a substitute. If Gillian or I is ill or injured, we will just have to reschedule for a day when we are better.

Actor Inconveniences / clashes All

Actor/ myself and Gillian

To ensure that Gillian, the actors and myself can make the shoot scheduled for that day and the shoot doesn’t clash with another event, we made sure that the most reliable actors were chosen for the job. However, we made sure that we had substitutes incase there are any inconveniences.

Public interference AllActor/ myself and

Gillian/ person who interfered

Because the film is set in/ at a sixth form, there may be times when students may be in the way, or cause risk to he equipment. We may need to bring along an assistant to keep watch for new people entering the scene and to keep watch on the equipment, this is because it will be difficult to do this ourselves, as we will be too busy filming and performing.

Malfunctions withcamera All Myself and Gillian

I will make sure that before and after every shoot, the camera will be charged, so there will be no problems with low battery during filming. Also, I will bring back up memory cards to the shoot, incase the original one runs out of memory.
