Risk Assessment

Risk assessment

1.       Why is it important to consider risks before filming?

One of the main reasons why it is important to consider risks before films is to make sure that no one gets hurts while we are filming, and to make sure that they know all of the different hazards which could happen while filming and make them aware of anything which could be dangerous. Another reason why this is important is so that  don’t put any of my cast or crew in danger while filming and make sure that everything is done properly to ensure that no one gets hurt in the making of this music video.

2.       How will the risk assessment assist me while filming

I will use the risk assessment while filming to make sure that I am not putting any of my cast or crew in danger. I will inform them before filming of the possible dangers which could occur if they don’t conform to what is says on the risk assessment. This is because it is important that I make them aware of all of the different potential hazards which could happen while filming, for example some of my shots will be filmed in the middle of the road so therefore it will be important for me to inform my cast and crew of the potential hazards of the road, so in this instance making sure they are aware of everything which is going on in the road, and making sure that they are aware of the upcoming traffic, as it could be coming from either directions. Also as I am filming in low key lighting conditions, to make sure that the cast are even more aware and alter of the traffic which could be coming, and to get out of the way when traffic does come. Also while filming I will just be checking that what my cast and crew are doing is not risky. Below is a copy of the risk assessment which I used and showed my cast and crew to make sure that they were aware of the risks involved while filming.
