Risk assessment

• camera must be held out the window of car while filming the middle of the road - have to hold the camera very safely and get the minimum amount of film that we can in order to protect the schools resources.


• must use the bat appropriately for the film - when we started filming someone swung the bat around and broke it on a wall, so from then on we had to use a metal pole for the main character to carry around, this being more dangerous than a bat. I used the pole safely to make sure no one got hurt.


• when smashing things such as the TV and clock the camera man and person smashing the item have to be careful. We are lucky because the characters wear masks and hoods so are protected of a sort, but whoever is filming will also have to cover up, and stay as far away from the item being broke as possible.


• where we are filming is an abandoned RAF base, and the village is smashed up and wrecked already, giving us a perfect setting to smash our items up. Once the items are broke we need to clean it up and throw the TV and clock in the skip. We have to be careful were we stand as there is smashed glass all over the floor and rooms burnt out, but we can all wear thick shoes and big coats to protect ourselves.


• the masks themselves will restrict our vision, so we have to be careful when running and especially smahsing things. In some clips, where our backs are turned to the camera, we could not wear the masks as long as no one turns around.
