Risk Assesment

This is the risk assessment for my main location which is a forest which is in the middle of no where and we chose this location because it really conveys the horror conventions, the problem with choosing this location and having to film in the dark is there is some risks that is why we created the table below to help us keep everything safe. We only use one other location and it is only for one scene right at the end which is a bedroom, so we did not feel it was necessary to create a risk assessment for this as it is an empty room with just a bed.

Risk	Solution
Filming from a car	Wear a seatbelt at all times, try not to go too quickly as it could lead to dropping the camera out of the window
Not being able to see due to dark environment	Bring a torch and possibly use headlamps from the car to light up the location
Equipment being knocked over	Check that all equipment is stable and set up correctly using tripods for the cameras
Falling over because of a slippery surface	Wear sensible footwear and watch wear we’re going
Getting lost	Make sure that we check out the location before hand to get to know the area, possibly take a map
Tripping over sticks or roots	Be careful and look where we’re going
Falling out of a tree whilst taking a high angle, or birds eye view shot	Use safety equipment and be careful
Falling over the cliff	Stay away from cliff
