Risk Assessment
When filming the risks should always be discussed and considered, this is to prevent any mishaps. It is important to consider risks so that when the filming is taking place all the right precautions are taken to avoid mistakes and accidents. We examine the dangers before filming so that when we actually film we are prepared to deal with the issues making the process smoother and safer.
Our risk assessment will help my group when we are filming by not only making the set safe but making sure nothing goes wrong in the shots. An example of the precaution we have taken to keep the set safe is to do with knife prop, having a knife around a large amount of people could cause a potentially life threating accident if the knife was to hurt someone. To prevent this we have are going to make sure the knife is put away safely when it is not in use, it will be keep away for the production team and cast so that their is a smaller chance of injury. A major example of how we are going to make sure nothing goes wrong with the camera equipment and shots is to keep the camera charged. If the camera was to run out of battery it would cause a big issue meaning we wouldn't be able to finish filming, elongating the finish date. To prevent this we are going to make sure every time we film the camera is fully charged and maybe even take a spare battery. The risk assessment to asset us when filming our opening sequence by preparing us for issues that we could face meaning we can deal with hem quickly without wasting unnecessary time. When filming we did encounter an issue that could have been a risk to filming which was passers by getting in the shots. Because we were in a forest filming on a public footpath it meant anyone could walk through. To stop this from happening we had to have someone looking out asking them to wait or telling the filming to stop until it was safe to continue filming. We knew how to over come this risk by looking at our risk assessment to find a solution to the problem.
This demonstrates some understanding of what a risk assessment is and the purpose that it has to a production. The table that you have included also demonstrates some good group planning.
