Risk Assessment

Description Of Hazard
Prevention Of Hazard
When the tripod has its legs fully expanded they will be very wide and can get in the way of actors and production crew. This could result in somebody tripping over and injuring themselves or would cause for equipment to fall over which would break or damage them which would take away time and increase costs of production as things may need replacements or fixing.
Make sure to remove area of unnecessary objects and open the tripod legs enough so there is still enough to move around. Also make sure you check where you are moving around the film set so you do not walk into equipment or cause something to fall over, or even trip yourself.
Having our villain actor dressed with his mask outside may attract unwanted attention. That may cause nearby residents to phone the police or to personally question you while you film in the street and this will waste time as people or authorities may get in the way.
Make sure the production crew is always visible, once people see the camera and actors they will see that there is nothing bad is going on and they will not interfere.
We have to film a scene where water is drunk by an actor, if any water gets on to any electrical equipment it could damage it or start an electrical fire which can get very dangerous
Make sure water is kept on stable surfaces, away from any electrical items and do not use electrical equipment or devices near water.
There is a scene where the actors have to run in the road as the villain is chasing the victim. If the roads are busy it will be very difficult to film as cars will be on the roads
We will have to makes sure it is not a busy time as cars may come at high speeds and we would like to avoid this to prevent any unnecessary collisions.
Surfaces outside aren’t always going to flat and suitable to filming outside as it would be inside. This could make it harder to film a flat frame or even might result in equipment falling over due to a steep surface and this would add unnecessary costs to repair damaged equipment.
While filming we will have to adjust the tripod with the spikes on its feet so that its firmly places on to the rough surface of the concrete so that it is stable and straight which will prevent the equipment falling over or have any damage done to them

  1. You have made a start in considering some of the hazards for your thriller film and the table that you have included above, helps to show some understanding of why a risk assessment is essential to carry out.

    Did you counter any more risks while filming?
