The purpose of a risk assessment is to identify any hazards that may occur whilst filming. By identifying the risks and hazards, it is much easier to prevent them from happening, as you can work out the necessary methods to reduce and stops risks and hazards.
If I were not to complete a risk assessment, I would have an increased risk of a hazard occurring, which could have been prevented by doing a risk assessment. Not only can a risk assessment protect myself from harm or facing risks, is can reduce or prevent damage of the equipment used, such as lighting, cameras and tripods. By taking simple precautions noted on the right hand side of the risk assessment, I can reduce my risk of facing problems and facing hazards.
Shooting alongside and on a road posed the greatest risk of the film shoot. This is because throughout the filming cars had access to the road and therefore we had a danger of an accident. However we were exceptionally cautious when working near the road, especially when filming from the car POV in order to present an accident occurring.
Filming in the film studies room and turning that into a studio also involved a number of risks. Due to a large quantity of lights being set up, thus resulting in many wires and trailing cables. Acting carefully and positioning cameras, lighting and crew members in safe areas to reduce the risk of injury or damage to equipment.
The flashback scene raised a few issues on the day. Playing football and running around on grass meant there was a risk of falling over or injuries when an actor falls over. We had to thoroughly direct the actors involved to ensure they were playing safely and the fall was executed in a safe manner.
