Risk Assestment

As we are planning our film we have to identify any possible problems which may arise throughout our time with the camera's and films involved, the possible risks and what precaution we can take to make sure these will not happen, and how to deal with them if they do.

Risk

Possibility

Prevention

1 As we are filming in Cambridge and alone as a group there is a high chance that we could get lost, to stop this Luke and India have maps available on the phones so we will know our way around Cambridge.

2 Another element of filming in Cambridge there is a chance that people will be worried why we are filming and who we are filming, to solve this we will tell the people who walk past and ask that we are filming for our media project and there is nothing wrong with what we are doing.

3 There is a chance that Dan could have an epileptic fit is there is any flashing lights or sudden lights, to prevent this from happening we will not use any flashing lights, and as Dan is used to the situation, he can warn us if there are any potential problems soon to come.

4 As we intend to film an element of the project with people entering or leaving a bus, we will film it on a day where our teacher, Miss Mapp will be on bus duty, with her help we can make sure that the students know we are filming, and are controlled so that we can get a clear and successul shot.

5 As we are trying to portray our character within a dark room, there is the possibility that the camera will not be clear enough to see what we are filming, to prevent this we will take test shots of the room with different lights affecting the brightness, so it will get a good and clear shot.
