Risk Assessment

It's important to consider risks before filming because there may be some factors in our location or parts of our props that may come as a hazard to our actors/film crew and even others that are around us but aren't necessarily a part of our filming process. For instance if we were to use our sparklers and then just leave them in a field once we're finished, we'd run the hazard of a member of the public touching them and getting burnt or them over heating. It's also important to write out an actual risk assessment so that we've had dedicated time to think of all the possible risks and hazards that we'll face while out and filming. Since we've taken our time to write out a risk assessment, there's more chance that we've carefully thought through everything possible so that we're more likely to be aware of the dangers we're inflicting on ourselves and to members of the public, which all in all will make our filming process run more smoothly as well as safely which is the main priority.

The risk assessment will assist my group with filming because we've got reminders of all the potential hazards listed out and not only that but it's helped us consider what it is we have to do to make sure that we're safe and can film our music video successfully. It'll benefit us in the long run because even though preventing these risks may be more time consuming, it'll make the process much smoother without any interruptions or disturbances from where we've caused inconvenience to ourselves and people around us.
