In order to make sure that we are as safe as possible when filming this Sunday, we visited the
location and found any potential hazards and addressed how we can prevent them being an issue.

Preventative measures
|
Lighting could get very hot if on for a long duration when filming.
|
Any of the production team, or the actor who may adjust the lighting during filming.
|
7/10. Quite likely that the person could get a slight burn.
|
Ensure that when the lights are on, no one touches them. If the lights need to be moved, ensure they are turned off, wait a few minutes until cool, and then proceed to move them.
|
The shower could be too hot.
|
Our actor, Evan, when he is in the shower during shots 2-5.
|
3/10. Not very likely that the shower could be extremely hot and burn him, however precautious methods should be taken.
|
Ensure that before Evan gets into the shower, that the water from the shower head is set to lukewarm.
|
When taking one of the ‘pills’ our actor could choke.
|
Our actor Evan, could easily choke when taking one of our ‘pills’ which will be a tic-tac or mento.
|
5/10. It is fairly likely that this could happen as if he is moving he could easily trip and choke.
|
When taking the ‘pill’ make sure that we are all watching our actor and ensure that he doesn’t move too much. This way we are likely to prevent this hazard.
|
Could fall down the stairs
|
Our actor or production team could trip down the stairs during shots 28 and 29, especially if concentrating on the camera and equipment. This could also damage the equipment.
|
8/10. It is highly likely that tripping on the stairs could happen.
|
When filming down the stairs we will ensure that one person isn’t holding anything so they can go to the aid of someone if they are struggling to move down the stairs and hold equipment at the same time.
|
Could trip over the wires or equipment
|
Any of the production team could easily trip on the wires from the lighting especially if focusing on filming a scene. This could also damage the equipment.
|
8/10. It is highly likely that when filming, someone could not be looking at the floor and focusing on filming the footage and then trip over a wire.
|
To minimise the damage on equipment and our production team and actor, we will ensure that all wires are out of the way where possible, and when walking over the wires, that full attention is payed during any dangerous areas.
|
Sharp edges on furniture/furniture could get in the way e.g. chairs.
|
All of the production team plus our actor. Furniture such as chairs could pose as a trip hazard and sharp edges could be painful to walk into or fall into.
|
4/10. Frankie’s house isn’t cluttered and therefore it isn’t likely for chairs to get in the way. Where we are filming there aren’t many sharp edges either.
|
Ensure that all chairs are tucked under tables, and if any sharp edges do pose as a threat, ensure the production team and actor know about it so that they can be cautious when filming in those areas.
|
Could trip over our friend’s dog, or her dog could run into our equipment.
|
All of the production team plus our actor. Frankie’s dog, Daisy, could easily get very excited with all the people in the house, start running under our feet which could mean we could trip over her. As well as this, she could easily pull on a wire and cause the lights to fall down, which would be a hazard to both us and Daisy.
|
7/10. It is likely that Daisy will get very excited and run around.
|
In order to minimise the chances of this happening, we should ensure that Daisy is either being supervised by our friend, or she should be put with our friends parents in another room so that she can’t accidentally knock over equipment.
