Risk assessmentHazard Description of

hazard (why is it’s a hazard)?

How it might affect the event

Who it might affect

Level of risk (high, medium or low)

Prevention

Equipment If it gets damaged or doesn’t work

It will delay filming as we are unable to continue filming

Everyone in the group

Low Make sure that the equipment works and use it responsibly.

Travel Mode of transportation could break down.

It will mean that either we can’t get to the place of filming, or we can’t get back home.

Everyone in the group/ people present

Low Make sure your vehicle is filled with petrol; don’t put too much pressure on the engine.

Access We can’t access the area of filming

Prevent us from filming there so we would have to film in a different location

Everyone in the group

Low Make sure that the area is easily accessible or make sure that it is accessible on Satnav. Also, do research on your location.

Lighting The lighting would be dark if filming in a dark place and people cannot see

Someone could trip on something and hurt themselves, damaging them.

The person who tripped

High Make sure that people can see by making the lights less dim (or turn them on) if in a room, or give torches for those who are outside. Carry first aid

Weather Someone could trip over if the weather is rainy.

The filming will might be suspended till a later date

Everyone in the group

Medium Wear appropriate weather-type footwear and bring in a first aid kit

Surfaces Someone could slip over

The person will be injured so the filming will be suspended.

Everyone/ person who it happened to

Medium Don’t film on slippery surfaces (unless necessary) and wear appropriate footwear.

Hazard Description of hazard (why is it a hazard?)

How might it affect the event

Who it might affect

Level of risk (high, medium or low)

Prevention

Stunts Performing a stunt incorrectly could result in serious injury.

It will mean that that person is unable to perform in helping the group film.

Everyone in the group

High Don’t perform stunts unless you are certain in how to do them (and are expert)

Acting conditions/ physical exertion

Can increase your heart rate and then rapidly decrease it when finished

Meaning that you are unable to perform as well in filming

The person with these conditions

Medium/ high Don’t do too much physical exercise before filming

Animals They can be involved in the film when, in the story, they are not supposed to be

This could lower marks as the film contains what your planning work might not have.

Everyone in the group

Medium/ low Make sure animals are out of the way of filming – by moving them out of the location of filming

Noise Too much noise can disturb the setting of the film (and may not be part of the film)

Can ruin the setting of the film that you have tried to set.

Everyone in the group

Medium Try and cut out all background noises or film in a location where there isn’t loud background noise

Lifting things Things can be heavy and can damage your body physically (especially shoulder and back

It would give the person injury and they might need to see someone

The person who was lifting things

High Don’t lift heavy things or get more than one person to lift the heavy things to reduce the chances of someone’s body getting physically damaged

Props/costume/makeup

You could forget the costumes/ props/ makeup

You cannot make an effective film without the desired M-E-S

Everyone in the group

Low Remember to bring all of the needed props/costumes/makeup. Maybe get someone in your group to make a list so that they don’t forget.

Confined spaces You won’t have as much filming space and it is difficult to get around/ someone could trip over

Makes filming harder Everyone in the group

Medium Film in a large space or a space that isnt so confined so that it is easier to get around
