Risk Assessment

Before we start filming we have to consider the potential risks that can occur when filming so that none of the actors or crew get hurt. We have decided what potential risks there can be and have listed them below.

Risk - getting hurt by an incoming vehicle 
We must make sure that there is someone on lookout when we film by the main roads and down the narrow lanes for incoming traffic so there is no danger. This could be quite a high risk as if we are not careful and if the cars are coming at speed we my be in trouble, however as long as we keep lookout and are careful on the roads everything should be fine.

Breaking of props - bike
We need to make sure the bike is safe for our actress Eleanor (Genette) to ride so that she doesn't fall off or injure herself. We will just check before we film each scene that everything is ok with the bike and that there is no punctures or anything.

Keep actors safe when they are filming their scenes
For one of our scenes we have two of our actors sat on part of a mini bridge and there is a small risk that they could fall backwards and off it in the water. This is an unlikely risk and the drop isn't high at all but we need to make sure that the actors are not messing around so that there is no injuries.

Breaking of equipment
We need to make sure that we handle our cameras carefully when filming as the consequences of dropping them will delay our schedule and would be very expensive. From preventing this from happening we will make sure the camera is on a tripod when we are taking our shots so it is secure and that when we are walking from scene to scene with the camera we wear the strap around our necks.



    
                                     

Rob Jones Visit

On the 7th February Rob Jones who is a director and photographer and short film maker came in to give a workshop to the class and he watched our film openings and gave feedback. He owns flock 92 productions. 

This is the feedback he gave us

• Good shots of her walking she looks like she is walking towards danger and this adds tension
• Good enigmas
• Good timing of shots
• The transactions needed to be smoother 
• He liked the idea of crosscutting between Genette and the killer.
