Risk Assessment (Miss Georgiou)

1. Why is it important to consider risks before filming?
By considering all possible risks and the prevention methods put in place before filming will help us save alot of valuable time when filming as without injury all the scenes will be able to be filmed on schedule.

2. How will the risk assessment assist you with filming?
Setting up precautions to take whilst filming will help us be more organised when filming as well as making me more aware of the extra props, behind the scenes that are needed to ensure peoples safety. For example, as a result of the risk assessment table I now know we need to buy gaffer tape to secure down leads and bring towels to filming to stop any water falling on the floor. 

Description of hazard	Prevention of hazard
Someone could trip or fall over trailing leads while filming.	Use gaffer tape to secure leads to the ground.
There is the use of a bath in one of the scenes so if water goes on the floor someone could slip over.	Mop up and clean the floor with towels as the water spills.
Dropping the camera during a handheld camera shot.	Use the strap around your hand.
Getting too cold when filming outside.	Wear warm clothing and have breaks inside.
Tripping over the tri-pod	Place it sensibly when not in use, closing the legs of the tri-pod.
Going into the road with cars.	Film sensibly ensuring to look before walking and being aware.
Filming in a busy area, pedestrians could knock the camera over.	Be aware of our surroundings, moving out the way when necessary and filming at less busy times of the day.
