Risk Assessment - Miss Georgiou

It is important to consider the risks and hazards you may come across when filming a sequence because if you are faced with one on the day, you will know how to deal with it so it does not disrupt your filming. For example if it begins to rain on the day and we had not thought about it the camera would have got wet and stopped us from filming. Because we have thought about this potential hazard, we have decided to bring an umbrella with us to hold above the camera if it does begin to rain. Considering the risks and hazards will also allow us to prevent several hazards from occurring in the first place such as the possibility of tripping over the camera leads. By thinking about this and how we could prevent it we have decided to brink so masking tape when filming and stick the wires down to secure them and make it less likely for someone to trip over them.


Risk assessments will assist my group when filming because it makes each group member aware of what may go wrong or interrupt our filming. It will help us to take responsibility for anything that does go wrong and let us know what we can do to prevent this happening. To prevent hazards we have thought about, my group is going to bring an umbrella to hold above the camera in case in rains because that would damage the camera. We will also bring extra torches, be cautious of our surroundings and check the path before filming so that our actors do not hurt themselves by tripping or treading on something etc, in the chase scene, especially as our victim will not be wearing shoes. In case our actors, particularly our victim, gets cold or wet when filming the scenes we will bring coats to put on in-between filming. There is also the possiblity that members of the public could be in the background of our camera shots. To prevent this happening we will make any passers-by aware that we are filming.
