Risk Assesment

Location
Train station: When filming at the train station we need to be careful especially because of the fast moving trains. Also the weather is likely to be rainy so the ground could be wet and slippery so we need to move with caution to ensure we don't fall onto the track. We also will have to cross the track over a bridge which contains many stairs, we have to walk very slowly to ensure we dontt slip as we will be carrying lots of equipment such as cameras and tripods. It could get very cold at the station so we will need to ensure our actress is warm enough. In the case that an injury did occur depending on the severity of the injury we could either take them back to my house (2 minutes walk) to seek appropriate treatment or take them to hospital in a serious case.

Kitchen: When filming in the kitchen I will warn Chrissy to be cautious when pouring from the kettle, however the water won't be boiled so it won't burn her. However I do have an Aga which can get very hot, so in the case the someone got burnt, I would run the burn under cold water assess the damage and continue accordingly. In the scene where Chrissy has to drop her phone, we will use a fake phone so that there was no smashed glass etc. This could be a danger to others.

Bedroom: While filming on the bed, if not being sensible someone could fall off and injure themselves, in order to prevent this we will make sure everyone is sting responsibly.

Car: When filming in the car we need to make sure the actors didn't push on any pedals, move the gearstick or the handbrake. This could be very dangerous if our actors didn't listen or weren't responsible, luckily when casting our actors we considered this. We will use special effects (SFX) such as fake rain, so may get wet, if this happens we will need to get changed into warm clothes after to ensure we didn't get too cold.

Motorway: This is the most dangerous location, it was above the M4. I will have to walk up a busy road to get to the location/bridge. I will take multiple torches to make sure I am well seen by cars to avoid accidents. I am going with a friend incase one of us got hurt, in this event we would have called the ambulance.

Street: We must be careful of both the cars and people on the high street, The road is busy and can be dangerous and the pavements are filled with people, in the case that someone got pushed into the road we would have called an ambulance.

Hospital: The risks of this location were more respecting others privacy and confidentiality in the hospital, we were not allowed to film other patients or staff at the hospital without their consent. Luckily for us we only wished to film Chrissy however we had to be patient when waiting for staff and patients to move out of the shots.

Bathroom: In the bathroom scene Chrissy has to throw objects so we made sure they were all plastic so couldn't hurt anyone.


Equipment

Cameras: Cameras can get damaged, in order to prevent this we need to carry our camera equipment safely. We must ensure the camera is not attached to the tripod when carrying it around and that the camera and equipment is not left lying on the floor as a trip hazard or to be damaged. Also when we are not filming we must make sure the lens caps are on so the lens do not get damaged. We will have two cameras when filming so this applies to both.

Tripod: When carrying around the tripod we must fold in the legs and carry it upright over our shoulders so it does not hit anyone. Also we must not leave the equipment on the floor as it is a trip hazard.

Lighting: We may use lighting so we need to be careful of that if used because if broken the lights will leave glass which is hazardous to everyone, also some lights can get very hot and set fire so we mustn't leave them on for long periods of time, or leave them lying around for people to trip over.
