Thriller Task - Risk Assessment

As a group we all completed a risk assessment together to assess the risks and how to prevent them from happening when filming.

Risk: Cliff top
Reason: This is a risk because there is a chance of someone falling off this cliff and getting seriously injured as the cliff is quite high.
Prevention: The group can overcome this by acting sensibly and not going to close to the edge of the cliff. Also filming on stable land which is not to close to the edge.

Risk: Damage of equipment
Reason: This is a risk because if the equipment became damaged or broken, it is our responsibility we will have to pay to replace it, which could cost a lot.
Prevention: We can overcome this by acting logically, but using it to the best of our ability, keeping the equipment with us at all time and not leaving it unattended.

Risk: Weather
Reason: This is because it could ruin the eerie tense atmosphere that we are tyring to create with the opening sequence. It could also damage the camera equipment. If it snows or becomes icy it may be difficult to even reach our location.
Prevention: This can be prevented by keeping the equipment in cases and avoid filming in bad weather conditions. We could also check the weather forecast the day before we are going to film to make sure the weather isn't bad.

Risk: Other people
Reason: This is a risk because if wandering people may disturb the shot while we are filming, they may also get in the way of the shot and ruin the tense atmosphere that we are trying to create.
Prevention: This can be prevented by filming in a quiet location of where we are filming, so that not many people will be there to disturb when filming.

Risk: Damage of Props
Reason: This is a risk because if a prop is dropped it may become damaged and broken, this again is our responsibility. If the item belongs to someone else we need to take extra care.Prevention: This can be overcome by keeping an eye on the props at all time and using them carefully when in use.

Risk: Damage to Crew and Cast
Reason: This is a risk because there are nettles and bushes that can be harmful if they are dangerous. The land could be uneven and there could be rock causing an accident to the cast or crew while filming and acting.
Prevention: This can be overcome by acting carefully and being aware of the surroundings around the location.
