Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

Driving and filming at the same time could cause distraction towards the drive, causing him to loose control of the car and thus cause an accident.  To prevent this we will make sure the person driving the car is aware of the camera when filming so they don't get distracted and thus cause an accident.

The person in the boot of the car needs to be cautious and careful when in the boot, as if not supervised carefully, they could actually get trapped and seriously hurt themselves. Therefore to prevent this my group and I will make sure that the actor/victim in the boot is aware.

The rope could cause serious harm if it is tightly tied and is could potentially hurt the actor and cut off their blood circulation, as well as causing rope burn. To prevent this my group and I will make sure that we don't tie the rope too tight for the victim.

We need to make sure the car isn't moving when the person is present in the boot- as it is against the law and dangerous, to prevent from  this happening, a jump cut should be used to show the person in the car when the car is stationary. To prevent this we will make sure the driver isn't driving when the victim is in the boot of the car.

We will be filming our film in January/February meaning it is winter, therefore it will be cold, so we will try our best to ensure that we keep warm for as long as possible of the duration of the filming. For example outside the house, in the road.  To prevent this we will make sure we will not be  in the cold for longer than 20 minutes.

We will make that we all take turns on each role so that it isn't unfair on particular members, as well as swapping roles so everything is consecutive and fair. We will do this when filming, taking pictures and most importantly directing. To prevent this happening, we will make sure that we all were aware that we had to take turns.

When the kidnapper chases the victim down the road it will cold and therefore possibly slippery or icy, therefore we will need to take extra measures in order to be careful as we don't want any injuries. To prevent this, we will all make sure that we are careful when handling the cameras when walking on the roads.

As we will be filming on a public road, someone may want to steal the equipment off of us whilst we are not looking- therefore we need to be with the equipment at all times and not leave it un-occupied. Additionally a public road may cause background noise from the public which may affect the filming quality- we need to make sure it is silent when we film.

We need to make sure that no one looses/breaks the camera equipment as it is expensive and belongs to the school,  we need to make sure we don't drop any of it incase it breaks or gets marks. To prevent this we will make sure we are nearby at all times.
