For this task, we have had to create risk assessment that we are going to do when we are shooting our film. We are doing this because our films location is taking place within a multistory car park (which is private property) and we have to make sure that we have carried out the correct safety precautions in order to ensure that we are safe and that the people that could (potentially) be in the background of our film are safe too. We have also decide to do this just to be able to identify the dangers that could take place when we are filming and how we can manage these risks if they do occur.
Risk 1: Traffic/ cars/ public - we are at risk of coming into contact with other members of the public, also because we are filming in a parking lot we have to be careful of the cars. We will prevent this from happening by keeping alert of the environment around us and ensuring that we are filming in an area where there is much going on . As well as that, we have chosen to film on a Sunday when it will be much less busy because there will be less shoppers and cars.
Risk 2: We will also need to be careful of where are filming and what is in the frame, because we might accidentally capture someone's number plate. This is something we need to be especially careful of considering we are filming in a parking lot. We will manage this by looking over the clips after we film and making sure that no one/nothing is in the frame that could cause problems.
Risk 3: Because we are filming late at night in a area which we don't know very well there is a slight risk of being faced with people who might interrupt what we are doing. In order to prevent this we will make sure one person is at least with another at all times to make sure if anything does happen they will have back up. We will try and stick together, however for some shots it might require the actor to be in a completely different place to the person with the camera. We will make sure we look out for one another.
RISK 4: We are filming at a local multi-storey car park which is private property. This could mean that we could get in trouble if we were taught filming there. To avoid getting caught we contacted the owner/manager of the car park and we have negotiated with them about filming on the property. They wanted to support us in our final film and therefore they are allowing us to film there. Contacting them was a positive step and this has allowed us to gain experience in the wider world and conversing with other people in order to be able to achieve what we want.
