Risk Assessment

When using any equipment even a basic camera it is important to look at the risk assessment to reduce the change of injury to those involved in the film making.
There will be a lot of potential physical hazard when filming such as car parks, near main roads, parks with dogs, any raised areas. Making parts of the film which are ICT based will require regular breaks to rest eyes and have a stretch to avoid muscle cramps.
Making sure that equipment is set up correctly can prove vital to avoiding injury, checking a camera stand is set up and secure will avoid the risk of it falling over onto a nearby person.
Having a check lift of people on the filming site will make it clear how many people should be in any particular spot at one point making sure there is enough space for these people. over crowding can cause pushing and lead to people falling onto hard surfaces.
