risk assessment

As we are about to go out filming we need to know what problems we may incur and ensure that nothing happens to the equipment and that we stay safe. After a discussion with the rest of the group we have came up with possible risks and danger of filming in a busy London. The possible risks and dangers are:

1. We could lose equipment
2. We could have our equipment stolen
3. We could have our equipment damaged
4. We could film on private premises and get in trouble
5. We could hurt ourselves
6. We could get lost on the way to our location
7. We could lose all our footage
8. We could waste too much time and not get our filming finished in time

As we have now listed all the possible risks and dangers it is now our priority to make sure none of the above happens therefore we have come up with ideas to try our best to prevent this from happening. The ideas are:

1. Check weather to see its not raining therefore equipment wont get damaged by rain, if it is scheduled to rain make sure we take an umbrella
2. We will make sure at all times at least one person is in possession of all the equipment that is not being used to make sure we don't lose it and have less risk of it getting stolen
3. We will use google maps to see the safest ad easiest way to get to our location to prevent us from getting lost and wasting time
4. We will not take any risks when filming and make sure everyone is safe. For example not climbing up anywhere to get a different type of shot or go near an edge
5. We will double check that all the equipment is being used correctly and safely such as putting the camera on the tripod appropriately
6. We will make sure we only take equipment that is necessary to use
7. We will make sure everyone has their mobile phones just in case something happens to someone
8. We will ask site managers for permission to film on private premises if we want to film there.
