Risk Assessment

Identify the hazards-
  • There are potential hazards in the filming of our project. While shooting the scene where our main character kicks the hand of a homeless character, there is a possibility that the actor playing the homeless character can get injured. 
  • We plan to use a high angle and ceiling shots which will entail the camera operator standing on a table or chair which could cause them to fall and injure themselves. 
  • While filming some of the scenes out doors there is the danger that passers by could misconstrue the acts of violence for reality and try to intervene, putting them and our actors at risk of getting injured.

Who might be harmed?-
  • The actors are in danger of being harmed either by each other or the public whilst filming as some and the camera man/director may be harmed whilst performing certain shots.
  • The location of some of our scenes are out doors most probably in Belfast town, late at night which carries certain dangers which the whole crew are open to. 

Precautions-
  • To avoid these dangers, precautions will have to be taken. These include, filming as soon as it gets dark rather than waiting until late at night, using the suggestion of violence to avoid having to film real violence which could escalate and cause harm and using something stable to stand on whilst filming the high-angle and ceiling shots.
