RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk Assessment-

HIGH RISK:

1)   TRIPPING OVER WIRES- this is a high risk as it is easy to trip over wires whilst filming. In order to minimise this risk we will make sure that the wires aren’t tangled. Also the further minimise this risk I will ensure that the wires are tucked away from where we are filming.

2)   FILMING NEAR WATER- this is a high risk because a heavy amount of our film is revolved around water during the murder scene. In order to minimise this risk we will place the camera on a tripod, to ensure no electrical fault with the water.

3)   ALLERGIES TO DYE IN THE BATH- this are a high risk because we don’t want our actress (Jess) to have an allergic reaction. In order to minimise this risk we will ask if she has any skin allergies, and put a bit of dye on her skin to see if it leaves a rash.

    MEDIUM RISK:

4)ALL EQUIPMENT IS FULLY COMPLIANT- this is a medium risk because we don’t want to get an electric shock whilst handling the equipment. In order to minimise this risk we will check that the equipment is up to date and that there are fuses in the plus.

5)   DROWNING- this is a medium risk because we don’t want the actress to drown when we are filming. In order to minimise this risk we will be careful not to fill the bath with too much water, so it won’t be deep enough for the actress to drown in. Furthermore we will be cautious when a hand pushes her under the water.

 LOW RISK:

6) DARK LOCATION- this is a low risk because the filming will be done in a safe location, a participant house. Therefore, we are filming in a safe environment so that little harm can be done to us. However, we will be filming in the garden at night, so to minimise this minor risk we will be extra cautious when filming the scene in the garden, and make sure we have some lights on, so we will be able to see what is going on in our surroundings.
