Planning: Risk Assessment

Risk assessment for filming

When planning my filming I have had to think of the risks of different aspects of my video. Some of the things had to think about include:
·      
High Risk - risk for actors: I made sure that the actors that I was working with had experience using the smoke grenades and that they only held the grenades for 30 seconds at a time maximum so they couldn’t cause any harm to their hands. This was quite a high risk so I had to monitor it carefully and check the actors were comfortable doing this. I also made the actors a practice run wearing protective gloves to make sure the grenades did not get too hot. 
·      
Moderate risk - risk for actors and director: I also had to be weary when filming in the pool as the the surface was slippery and my actress had to swim in clothes so she had to be a good swimmer. I made sure that the actress that I worked with was a confident swimmer and was comfortable in the pool. I also ensured to film shots that used the pool side before it was too wet and slippery. I also had to be careful when using the camera equipment when filming in and around the pool as not all of my cameras were water proof so i had to make sure that I was not distracted when filming around the pool and that any equiptment that did have a protective case had it on, i also had towels on hand. 

·      
Moderate risk - risk for director and actors: when we were filming in the woods we had to check the ground for any tripping hazards as my actress had to run for quite a few of the scenes in the video. To prevent tripping i checked the areas before we shot scenes where we had to run and I moved any branches that were in the way. I also made sure that the actress and I were wearing sutible foot wear.
