Post 28 - PRE-PRODUCTION: Risk Assessment

RISK ASSESSMENT

When in members of our group's houses, we had to make sure that any wires from the microphone or personal objects were tucked away to avoid any damage to equipment or members of my group.

Members of my group made sure our own items were put to the side in an orderly way to keep the most amount of free space possible.

In the penultimate scene we shot in my own house and because of re-shooting, we had to move around furniture to accommodate the continuity of out film but also to make sure our actors were no harmed. As we filmed before and during the Christmas period, we would have to make sure that when there was a Christmas up, the mechanics of our film worked as followed: Moving the tree away from shot and actors to allow free movement and keeping equipment from the tree to avoid any tangling of wires, the tripod etc.

The outside shots the second scene would pose difficulty, the pathway we are using will be used by the public and we must make sure that the placement of our equipment does not post any threat of harm to the public. We also have to make sure all equipment is in sight at all times and with us to avoid any breaking or stealing of it.

We had to be aware of the fact that the ground was somewhat muddy and using the tripod on the grass for some shots was going to require us to be very careful with the equipment.

There is the possibility of cramped spaces in our indoor locations, this means there is the possibility of breaking or knocking over our camera/tripod. To fix this, we will make sure only one person is around the camera at once and that the tripod is tested for stability beforehand.
