RISK ASSESSMENT
A Risk Assessment meant that me and my group could discuss the possibilities of what could go wrong throughout filming our opening sequence. To show this, we created a table to show the hazard and how it could be prevented ( the table above ). If we consider these risks before filming then we can plan ahead and take precautions so nothing interrupts our filming or anyone gets hurt. Before filming in a certain place we will evaluate the scene to make sure where we are going to film is safe and compatible for what we need.
Risk assessments are very important as they form an integral part of a good occupational health and safety management plan. They help to: Create awareness of hazards and risks.
Planning ahead gets us ready and means we are all aware of the risks that could happen. One of the most important hazards we thought of was 'fire'. As our finalising scene is a piece of paper burning with pictures of victims on, we thought that the piece of paper could easily catch alight, so we will be using a suitable area with sources around that can help prevent this from spreading.
Another common hazard that can take place when filming is hanging leads from the plug to the camera. This is a hazard because anyone could easily trip and hurt themselves, or cause the camera to stop working in an important bit of the film. We can prevent this by either charging the am era before or hiding any loose wires under a mat or tucking them behind where no one can hurt themselves. Another hazrad that links tho this is the darkess, if the weather is bad and the night is approaching then there will not be much light available in the forest, this means that extra precuations should be taken with hanging wires aswell as what is on the floor e.g. large branches or stumps on the ground. A torch should be used at all times to ensure safety for all group members.
Nature cannot be helped when filming and as we are in the forest this may be a hazard. Animals such as a fox may approach us when filming a scene and this may distract us or prevent us from filming. Being aware of this will prevent us from being harmed or even distarct us from filming as we dont want this to happen, the time we spend filming is crusial as its hard for me and my group to film when there is light.
All of our hazards are important and need to be taken seriously. The next hazard is the weather. Again this cannot be helped, although some precautions can be taken. Before filming check the weather to see what the forecast is, all group member agree on whether we thingk this is accpetable to film in or not. Another precaution we can take is having an umbrella close by to hold over the camera itself aswell as the tripod. This ensures that the lense will not get damaged and no mechanical faults can take place throughout, putting aside any risks to me and my group members.
Overall i feel that me and my group have outlined all of the major hazards that can take place when filming our thriller opening sequence. We have taken the necassary precautions to ensure our safety aswell as the equiptment we are using. If anything is to go wrong when filming then we have all the necassary precatuions/equiptment ready.

This post demonstrates some understanding of what the purpose of a risk assessment is and the table that you have included, also helps to show some group discussions with your group. However, you need to elaborate on the points that you have included on your hazards and preventions, to demonstrate further planning.
