Risk Assesment

When filming, it is vital that all risk possibilities and precautions are dealt with and looked at. In our film, due to the fact it’s a chase scene with lots of running, there obviously are going to be many risk factors (tripping up, running into objects, slipping etc).

·         Because of this, we have written down any possibilities and assessed them so that things hopefully won’t go wrong.  The list shown below:

o    The first problem that came into our heads was obviously climbing on the bins and jumping off them, clearly there is a big risk of falling etc their, however, we are aware of the problem and so will be careful when climbing and jumping.

o    In addition, another problem is obviously running on the road, due to the bad weather, the roads shall be icy and wet because of the now, however, we shall be careful and obviously not sprint. With a fast paced jog we should be fine and not slip.

o    Another issue which could potentially be dangerous is in our last scene when the criminal throws the bin bag behind him hitting the policeman’s body. The obvious potential injury is if the bag is thrown too hard or hits the policeman’s head. However, we shall fill the bag with a soft material, making it look like there is rubbish in the bag, when it will really be filled with pillows most likely.

o    Furthermore, during the last scene, it requires us chasing down a flight of stairs. The potential risk/injury here is clear, but we’ll be careful when running down the stairs whilst trying to make the scene still look dramatic and dangerous.
