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 THE MAKE UP WE WILL USE TO MAKE BRUISES - this are a high risk because we don’t want our actress to have an allergic reaction. In order to minimise this risk we will ask if she has any skin allergies, and test out the makeup we are going to use before filming those scenes.

4)  FILMING OVER A DUAL CARRIAGEWAY- Filming on a bridge alone is a high risk as there is a chance of dropping the camera, so filming on a bridge over a busy road increases the risk even more, thus we have to be extremely careful when handling the camera during the filming at these locations. To minimise this risk, we will use a tripod on wheels to move the filming equipment to avoid dropping it. Additionally, we will be extremely sensible when on the bridge to prevent any chances of us falling off the bridge. 

5)  FILMING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD- This ia a high risk because there are fast moving cars going past so we need to ensure that w aren't filming too close to the edge of the road and make sure we are well on the pavement and out of the way of moving vehicles. 

   MEDIUM RISK:

4)6)  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.

57) DROWNING- This is a medium risk because we are filming near a river so there is a possibility that our actor ould fan in. To minimise this risk we will ensure at all times to keep a safe distance from the bank of the water. Additionally, the camera equipment will need to be held securely to prevent nay chances of dropping the equipment. To do this we will ensure, when filming by the water, there is at least one person spotting the person holding the camera to enhance the safety around it. 

LOW RISK:

8) POTENTIAL RAIN- As we are filming in November there is a chance of rain on the days we are going to film because the whether in the UK is extremely unpredictable. This is a risk because our equipment could get wet. To avoid this being a problem we will use waterproofs over the cameras to prevent them from getting wet.
