Planning: Risk Assessment

This risk assessment stopped any potential accidents from happening, highlighted any threats or dangers within the shooting location and helped in the overall objective of planning; time efficiency, smoothness and general organisation of shoots whilst in the phases of principal photography.

Risk Assessment

Danger that could occur	Why this could be seen as dangerous	Solutions
Branches, trees and logs in the forest	This can be dangerous as if the characters are running through the forest; they may trip, or bump into things if not careful.	We can ensure that the characters are running in a wide enough space for all of them to fit. We can also make sure they do not run too fast, as this can be changed on editing. Characters should also watch where they are running, and know when to stop.
Weapons being used	This could be a danger to all characters as this could cause serious harm if not used with care	We should always ensure that we are keeping the knife away from any characters, and at a far distance. We should also ensure that we do not joke, or play around with the weapon. This way we can prevent any accidents from happening.
Speed of the car	This could actually cause potential accidents, or even cause a real crash itself.	Ensuring that the driver drives slowly for the production, as this can be changed during the process of editing.
