Risk Assessment. 6/12/10

   Before beginning filming we had to think of any risks we may come across in filming our scenes, and how to overcome them. These are the points we came up with:

•    In the forest scene, the person acting may scream because they're acting out a reaction to seeing two young girls dead bodies. Because of this, it would be sensible to film in a less busy part of a forest so as not to worry any passersby.
•   The preparation for the scene of the policeman finding the girls clothing in a bin could be extremely dangerous, as their tops are meant to be burnt. To make sure nobody is harmed in the burning of the tops, we should make sure there's a fire extinguisher nearby or a bucket of water if the first is not available. Also we must make sure to keep any flammable materials away, and make sure the conditions are generally controlled.
•   Before filming the bathroom scene, we should check to make sure there are no wet surfaces as this could be dangerous for the actors moving around the room. To make sure no injuries happen by actors slipping over we should make sure everything is completely dry in the room.
•    The shot of the girls walking along the street, in a CCTV style shot could be difficult to film as we have to find a high point to film from. If we found a tree or fence nearby to climb and film from, we would have to take precautions with the camera, making sure it's somehow strapped to the body of the person climbing so it doesn't get damaged by being dropped etc.
