Risk Assesment

Weather and Lighting


As we want to maintain continuity throughout our production we want our production to keep to the storyline which is set in the daytime. This will consist of high key lighting so it would be benficial to us to film the majority of shots at the same time on a day pre-planned to have the same weather throughout. Also, to minimise risk, we will be shooting shots multiple times so we have back ups in case of emergencies, and if upon review during editing, they are not up to scratch. This will not affect the outcome of our video as the shots will be recorded in chronological order so the natural cycle of day light will not be interrupted.

Camera reliability

The camera we will be using is a high resolution Canon 550D as I already own this camera. As we are not hiring it we won't have to the problem of insurance so in order to create minimum risk we will be handling equiptment with care using tripods at most times so the camera is stable.

Actor absense

This could occur due to many reasons such as illness or personal. This hopefully will not be the case due to filming the shots in a single day or maximum of two days consecutive. If for any reason an actor/actress can't make the scheduled filming date then either Joe or Luke  will step in, and in the case of female lead, Lukes girlfriend Poppie will step in in place of Lauren.

Transport

Joe is  planning to pass his driving test by the time of filming, so we will be able to choose more elaborate locations to film, but in the case of unplanned circumstances we have a lake 5 minutes walk from two group members house. This is very fortunate as the location features all the appropriate scenery that we can use to achieve the scenes we're looking for.

Computer failure

There always is a chance that my computer might pick up a virus of some type, in this case we will be keeping the shots on the camera to upload to either mine or Luke's computer. Also we will be saving all files in two documents in case of corruption or some other computer failure.
