Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

·      Our sequence uses a knife to show the killing of a character, therefore the main risk affecting our safety is the blade. We must be careful not to actually injure the character in anyway and also to store it safely when it is not in use.

·      We must be careful not to fall down the stairs when transporting equipment into the flat as we may trip or slip because of the weight or shape of the equipment used. If the equipment becomes to heavy to carry, we will all contribute in carrying a certain piece at a time.

·      As the shot is filmed upstairs, we must be careful not to trip down the stairs or damage the equipment by dropping it. To avoid this we will be aware of our surroundings and other aspects, which may put us or the equipment in jeopardy.

·      As we are using meat, which is raw, we must be careful not to eat or make any unnecessary contact which may spread germs or put the characters at risk. To avoid this danger, we will wash hands after contact with the raw meat and also to clean surfaces after we have finished filming.
