Risk assessment

During filming there are many problems with the sets that may be hazards and cause danger, so we have to think about these hazards and what risks we may need to take, in the bedroom we have to think of things like wires and other filming equipment getting in the way, like wires and the tripod. to combat this, we can either tape all the wires to the floors and try and minimize the amount of wires we use.
the other hazards inside rooms is that the area maybe cramped for the whole group to fit in and so, before shooting all the rooms will be cleaned up and to make sure there is not too many people in one room at any time, there will only be the actor / actors on set with the camera man.




Outside there could be problems such as busy roads, slippery surfaces, mud, animals (dogs) and uneven surfaces, all these dangerous factors also have solutions, the road we are using is not a main road and is classed as a drive with the only cars going up the drive being ours and two other households, to make sure there are no vehicle hazards i will personally visit my neighbors and warn them. for the slippery surfaces and mud, we will make sure the actors stay on film ground i.e. concrete and will ensure the camera man has sturdy boots on so they are not hurt or slip, this goes the same for uneven surfaces. the problem is dogs can not be controlled and it is hard to keep all the dogs in the village under control, however through my own knowledge and the general closeness of the village, i know there are no harmful dogs in the village and the worst any of the dogs can do is run in front of the camera and ruin a take.
                           

There is one scene in the film that may be of some controversy, in this scene Jamie aka Brad crashes on his bike into a grass hill, now we spent alot of time thinking of how this could happen safely, and in the end we concluded that because the slope is at such an angle, it will not impact up on the crash but be like getting off a bike in the wrong way. so although adding greatly to the comedic value, the actor involved will not be harmed.
