Risk Assessment

This is our Risk assessment for filming.
Title: Trapped in my Mind
Writer: Rachel Taylor
Date: 28^th October 2011
Date and time of filming:……

The possible hazards are as follows:

• Getting unwanted students in the film causing problems with illegal policies.
• Risk of disturbance from household members
• Risk of not enough light causing a hazard for crew members
• Risk of equipment being damage or stolen due to misuse
• Risk of furniture interrupting or harming actors.
• Risk of crew tripping over wires or equipment.
• Risk of disturbance from teachers or students
• Risk of fire hazards
• Risk of actors and crew falling over on slippery surfaces due to the coke spill scene
• Developing a dead battering when filming
• We can’t get into location which we are filming
• Members of the crew being unavailable due to sickness or work

The safety measures we will take to avoid these risks:

• Tape and secure  all cables and wires to the ground to minimise risk of tripping and falling. A mop and bucket to clean up any spillage from liquids used.
• Film in a suitable room with sufficient lighting
• We will make sure only people with experience with the camera film
• We will rearrange furniture and make sure the set is clear
• We will make sure that all cameras and equipment are tidy and this will eliminate hazard
• Make sure to film in a secluded areas where we wont be disturbed.
• Renting out batteries, bring a space camera and charger.
• We will make sure that there will be enough of us to get enough footage and keep control of the situation if a member was ill.
• Speak to member of staff or security guard, making sure they are aware of our presents and open location if necessary.
