PLANNING - (PITCH) Risk Assesment

Risk Assessment:

Last year we were required to fill out various forms for use of school equipment during plenty of our projects both prelim and actual recordings, however especially in our actual thriller recordings and filming sessions last year we had to undergo various safety procedures and this is the case during our advanced portfolio filming sessions. So as a class firstly we have already filled in a form that consents us to take cameras home or away from college during our half term holiday if necessary. Below is a list of the dates we are going to be filming.

OCTOBER: 18th, 25th

HALF TERM: 31st, 1st, 2nd

NOVEMBER: 6th, 8th, 13th

We must undertake weather forecasts for these dates shown and focus on what times it is safe for us to film and take the equipment out seeing as the locations chosen for our video require quite a bit of travelling. Before filming we must ensure the surface area is cler so neither performer or our group member eecording slip or fall and injure themselves and damage equipment.

Above is a clear weather forecast outline for the first few dates that we are filming and if you look clearly it is actuallyraining or drizzling on three ocasions and on these occasions we must take a safety precaution which will be to hold up umbrellas above the cameras.

We also have to be aware that we are filming in locations at night so we will also face other safety issues. There is a possibility that are camera equipment can be stolen so we have to take extra caution when filming in these locations and avoid filming in any dark alleys etc.

We will be filming in locations which contain water for example south bank, because of this we will need to keep all the equipment away from the river Thames. This area is also know to be very busy so filming with a lot people around us may cause bystanders to try get in the camera frame which means we need to add in extra time for filming, or not film at peak times.
