Risk Assessment - by Grace Peel

When filming our opening sequence we all will have to consider the risks involved before filming it. For instance, when we ‘break’ into the school, whoever climbs over the fence will have to make sure their safe and are not at risk of causing harm to themselves whilst doing it. Also we will have to walk around the areas of the school that we are shooting in and make sure there is nothing in our way that we could fall or trip over. We will also have to walk round the inside surroundings of the drama studio, and when one of us falls over the banisters in the drama studio in our sequence we will have to make sure there is a mat at the bottom were they will land as then they won’t hurt themselves or put themselves at risk of an injury. Also little things such as running in the yard of the school, we will all have to watch out for on coming vehicles leaving the school as we will be filming at the end of the school day when it is busy. We will also have to watch out for each other when filming, as we won’t want the person who is filming being knocked over by one of the actors and then damaging the camera equipment. We will have to plan out were the person who is filming is going to stand after every shot to make the shooting and running of it flow.
