Our Risk Assessment:
This is the risk assessment for our production. As a group we have discussed all the possible risks and things that could happen at our shoot and below are the numbers for the emergency services should we need to use them in an emergency.
Locations:
Friningham Manor abandoned house (Detling):
This is the risk assessment for the abandoned house in Detling. We weren't sure what to expect and what state the building would be in entirely as the website online about the location was dated back to a few years ago. So we had to construct our risk assessment based on what we expected to find in the building. We also had to plan for all weather conditions in case the weather was awful and the equipment was damaged. As it was, it did rain on our shoot and as we had not taken any protective sheets to cover the cameras we used a jacket to cover the camera and the person filming. On the website for the house it also alluded to the idea that there were some caravans on a patch of land a few minutes away from the house and so we had to factor the possibility of seeing people into our risk assessment.
School Stage: (Maidstone)
This is the risk assessment for the stage. We had to consider aspects such as dealing with equipment and props to make sure that if any accidents did happen we were prepared for them. Things such as slipping on the sand or glitter are medium risk as the sand and glitter is bound to fall onto the floor when the drums are hit. To combat this risk we will make sure we clean up any mess straight away which will also help with the final clear up.
Underground tube station and Leicester Square: (London)
This is the risk assessment for the filming in London on the underground stations and in Leicester square. London is a massive place and well known for its pickpockets so we had to take extra care when writing this risk assessment as we had to factor in for any equipment being stolen as well as things like fines for the underground. We really had to plan ahead for this trip working out train ticket costs, which tickets were suitable for the underground, which stations we could film at and which would be quiet as well as factoring in members of the public and their reactions. As it was the underground staff were immensely helpful with a few even getting involved to make sure our shoot went smoothly without any interruptions and many members of the public offered to help out by getting in the time lapse shots to make them look busy.
