Health and Safety



Before we start filming, it is important that we take a risk assessment of the area that we will be working in. This is to make sure that the place is safe for our actors, actresses and crew to work in. After we got permission from the Café we will be filming in, we looked all around the area to see any potential dangers to us and everyone around. We figured out how to remove any possible dangers and decided how we would keep ourselves safe from any hazards we could not remove.

Before we even start filming, it is important that we understand that there is a busy road outside of the café, so even just crossing it is a hazard that we need to be aware of. When we film inside the café, we will be filming very close to a window which could get quite cramped for the camera operator. We could move the table away from it, even if it is simply a few inches, but only if we get permission from the owners of the café. Some of our actresses will need a mug to drink from which will include real hot coffee to make our sequence more realistic. The hot coffee could be a danger to them as one of them may accidentally spill it and burn themselves.

  1. so, does this mean that you have permission? Where is your evidence. It would be much better if you just did a short video to demonstrate the hazards and talk over it saying how thou will make them safe - OK?

  2. A good start for deadline two. Read all the comments under the various posts. Fill in the various gaps.

    If you aspire towards a level 4 (highest level), then you need more footage - short video discussions, permissions, Health and safety. Go to the list in the boo and complete all aspects of deadline two - character development is an area you need to concentrate upon.

    You should be looking to film ASAP.
