Risk Assesment

Why is it important to consider risks before filming?

It is important to consider risks before filming because I don't want my actors, actresses or other group member to get harmed during the filming. Also if something were to happen it could ruin the whole filming process and we cannot afford to lose time as we have to edit it all. Also whilst filming in Woodford we had to use a car scene, in which I parked my car in the road so that we could film a mid shot of the car lights. The risks that we had to check before doing this were that we used a quiet road and that we parked the car as near to the right as possible to prevent an accident happening with other cars driving past. Also using the storyboards we had previously written out was useful as we knew exactly what to film so we could get it done as fast as possible, preventing less accidents to happen.        

How will the risk assessment assist you with filming?
The risk assessment will help us when we film so that we can prevent any accidents from taking place. Also if there is a scene we need to film but for example it is raining, our scene is outside we will have to put it off, as many risks could happen such as the camera break, the actor slipping if he runs etc. Also part of our filming involves an actor eating a burger so, in case he has any allergies the risk assessment will be a good reminder in making sure we buy a burger that is approved by the actor.
