Risk Assessment

1. Fire- In 4 of our shots, we are using fire as a method to build tension. The sequences will be shot in a garden, with the camera panning around to show the visuals we wanted ( a newspaper burning etc... )This will be filmed in a excluded area, creating more an eerier tension that if open plannedPotencial Risks- Burning of protagonist, creating wounds - Object other than prop setting on fire - Fire becoming out of hand How We Will Avoid Dangers- Have an adult start and observe the fire - Have a fire blanket near by - Do not leave fire unattended - Do not leave anything near fire in chance of setting on fire 2. Glass - In 1-2 sequences, we wanted to add glass smashed on the floor as a way to demonstrate destruction - therefore, building tensionThe sequences will be shot in one of the group's kitchen. This will allow the camera to pan around and have close ups ( a method from Alfred Hitchcock )Potencial Risks- Filmer and actors cutting self on glassHow We Will Avoid Dangers- Clean up effectively - Be cautious around the glass- Have first aid kits around- Let other people ( family ) know about the glass 3. Makeup - In order to create verisimilitude, we wanted to have the use of makeup. This consists of cosmetic makeup and wounds ( e.g. fake blood ) Potencial Risks- Allergic ReactionsHow We Will Avoid Dangers- Make sure actor knows we will use makeup- Ask actor if they have any known allergic reactions to cosmetic products- Have wash kits near by
