Risk Assessment

This is the risk assessment i created for the fliming whilst Adam devised a filming schedule for us.

Camera gets wet – could cause electrocution or other dangers - Try to shelter the camera if the weather is starting to look bad, as it is electrical and could cause serious safety problems.

Injury whilst carrying the sofa – could hurt back or slip and fall - If it is too heavy to carry, get more people to help so it reduces the strain. Also make sure that the path you are carrying it on is clear so there is nothing to fall over.

Burned by the fire - Always stay a safe distance away from the fire when filming or when off camera. Keep flammable objects away and to the minimum.

Inhale fumes from the fire - Make sure that nothing being burned on the fire is toxic and try to stay away from the smoke.

Fall over whilst running through the streets - Make sure the path is clear before filming and any hazards have been removed or avoided.

Slip in the mud (if it’s been raining) - Try to avoid filming in muddy areas as falling could damage you ankles.

Dangerous objects in the grass where filming - Check the grass where filming before shooting to make sure there are no hazards hidden away that could cause damage to the actors e.g. needles

Whilst actor is walking and staring down the camera lens they could be unaware to dangers around them - Make sure the area is clear of dangers before beginning to film as the actor will not be paying attention to what is around them.

Weather - Try to avoid filming in bad weather conditions such as rain, hail, or thunder.

Poor lighting - Use extra lighting in dark scenes (campfire scene) as the actors and cameramen will not be able to see all that is around them.

Equipment being stolen - Make sure that the equipment is always in sight and try to hide it away when other people are walking past.

Other people - Try to film in places that not many people would go as they could ruin the shots and/or become a threat.
