Risk Assesment

Whilst dealing with the camera, we understand that it must be in somebodies sight at all time, it can never be left unattended. Also, the camera is very expensive, so we as a group know that we have to handle it with care. We understand that there should always be two people minimum around the camera. If the camera is kept at someones house, then it is out of the way of any possible danger and it is a place where it is safe. (Preferably in the bottom of a wardrobe to avoid dropping) Further more, the weather may have an effect on our filming, but more importantly on our camera, therefore we as a group understand that purchasing an umbrella and/or a cover for the camera is essential. The same goes for the various pieces of equipment we will be using (Tripod, Speakers, Lights etc) none of these items can be left unattended at anytime and will be kept from harms way if kept overnight or over the weekend. When we finish filming, we know that it is essential that the camera is dismounted from the tripod correctly, because dismounting it incorrectly can badly damage the tripod, which is another piece of expensive equipment. Furthermore, we are entering autumn, which means it may rain more often. This means it could rain whilst recording and our artist may get wet which could ruin her costume. So we will endeavor to purchase covers/umbrella for both the equipment and the artist. A lot of our shots will be shot in the dark, therefore we will endeavor to keep the camera in our sights. Also, we will check bus/train times to see if there are any delays that could set our production schedule back.
