Miss G, Risk assessment

Considering risks before filming is important as anything can happen from many things can go wrong throughout for example fire alarms will have to be renewed as they could be faulty and could go of randomly. Another example will be props/iconography make sure that the props are suitable to our thriller that they are not dangerous and will not put the crew in danger. We need to consider what risks will be inside the house we are using to film, even small objects around the house that are not needed can be a risk.

A risk assessment will assist us with our filming as it guides us through what could go wrong what risks we could come across whist filming. Our risk assessment will help us prevent these risks and will allow us as a group to work around similar risks. As a group the risk assessment will put our thriller opening in a safer environment.

The risk assessment will also help the film become more of a success as the filming wont be affected by any hazards and we know how to work around those hazards.




Risk Assessment.

Risks	How to avoid
Wires on the ground could be tripped over.	Be aware of wires on the ground make sure you move them away from working area, put a mat down over the wires which will prevent people working from tripping over.
Slippery surfaces again you can trip over and hurt yourself.	To avoid this we will first of all make sure there is nothing on the surfaces that can make it slippery and wearing the appropriate foot wear.
Items that are not needed whilst filming in the house could get damaged or put the filming task at risk.	Remove all unneeded items away from the filming set before we start filming.
Camera falling over when on top of the tripod could damage the camera.	Make sure we are handling the camera at all times so that it will not type and when we are not controlling the camera take it of the tripod and put it somewhere safe.
