Risk Assessment and Filming Schedule - Miss Georgiou

Risk Assessment

It is important to consider all risks before filming, as the health and safety of everyone included in the film-making process is important. Furthermore, identifying all risks and how to avoid them minimises the potential hazards. The below risk assessment will therefore assist us with filming in that we now know how to avoid hazards.

Hazards:

1. Trailing leads while filming. We can prevent this by securing all leads with tape to minimise chance of tripping and keep every crew and cast member safe.
2. Knife. We will be using a knife in our film as it is the murder weapon. To minimise the risk of getting hurt due to this knife, we will use a fake knife. This reduces the chance of injury, self-inflicted or other.
3. Filming near roads. We were careful when filming the outside scenes near the road to not be near cars, as this could cause an accident.

Filming Schedule

It is very important to have a filming schedule. It helps organise the filming and speeds up the process of filming. We tried to follow the schedule exactly as it was, however, we did not quite manage to do this. The photo album was not completed in time for filming, so the 8th shot needed to be filmed after the originally planned day/time, on Tuesday 10th December. Moreover, some shots were filmed slightly later (up to an hour) later than planned due to unplanned delay. However, all shots that we were able to film were filmed.
