Risk Assessment
It is very important to consider the risks for our group before we start filming as otherwise it could lead to someone getting injured or possibly even dying. This is why we have considered all possible risks and worked out how we can prevent them from ever happening to any member of our group, which will keep us all safe while filming. We did this by bringing all our concerns together whilst brainstorming all the possible risks that we could incur.
We followed the risk assessment and this resulted in none of our group being hurt or injured and we agreed that we would stop filming immediately and seek medical attention if anything was to happen. We would also not use that location as it would be a considerable risk to go back to the same area to film. This would not stop all injuries but would decrease the chance of any happening which would make the filming of the video much safer.
The risk assessment will assist us when filming as we do not need to identify the risk and prevent it when we are on location. This will make it much easier to film around the location and less time consuming which will give us more time to look for interesting locations, this would keep our equipment and us safe whilst still getting the best scenes and locations. Furthermore we had with us a health and safety kit which could have helped prevent serious injury if anyone was hurt during filming. Overall then it can be seen as a success as no one was injured during filming, although at some points we did brake some minor rules we made sure that the camera and person filming was safe.
When filming we did realize other risks such as that of the camera being stolen , so we always had a member of the group with the camera, this was managed as the camera was not stolen. Another risk on set was the weather in that it was raining and the surface was very slippy, furthermore as we were sometimes filming in high places it was a big risk. We managed this by having the camera man aware of his surroundings and removing any objects that were possible trip hazards, this again was a success as we had no injuries while filming. Furthermore when filming the fight scene although they were pretend punches it would be easy enough to actually punch the actor and cause injury. Furthermore when the actor goes on the floor we have to check the area for glass and other possible hazards.
