When producing any film, it's always important to consider the potential problems and risks that may cause harm to those involved in the practical side of the production. Steps will need to be taken in advance to ensure health and safety.
Potential risks that were considered:
- Equipment
- Weather
- Location aspects
- Crew/talents
- Members of the public
Equipment
Little equipment was used during shooting. The equipment for the shoot included a Canon digital camera, a tripod and my car for transportation and camera movement. To prevent theft or damage, the camera equipment was kept by my side at all times and were secured so that they would not obstruct and cause potential physical harm to members of the public or myself/subject.
Weather
Due to poor, wet weather conditions whilst on our college trip to Manchester, I was unable to record some of the outdoor shots I had desired due to potential water damage to my camera equipment. Fortunately, the weather of the shoot that later took place in Tamworth caused no problems.
Location Aspects/Members of the public
Due to the sheer open space of the settings, few potentially harmful obstacles were present. At points, the low key lighting of some potential shooting areas meant that the safety of ourselves could have been more at risk in terms of unknown potentially harmful strangers and obstacles. Hence, we thought it was best at the time to stay within well-lit areas.
Crew/Talents
(To my knowledge) Neither the cast nor I had any illnesses that could have been passed on to each other that could later have caused either of us any harm.
