Risk Assessment

I am going to complete a risk assessment for my group's thriller opening because as we are filming outside in a public location we need to be aware of potential risks and problems that could arise. We are filming in a park and so for this reason we need to be aware of certain things. The two most important things which we as a group need to take care of are -

1. other people who may be in the park at the time (though we aim to film in an empty park)
2. the filming equipment being stolen/lost

We will overcome the potential of lost equipment by making sure that we are always with the camera so that it doesn't go missing, and we will prevent it from being stolen by carrying it around in the camera bags so that we don't ever have it on display whilst it is not in use.

There are other things we need to be careful of, for example making sure that we have permission to film in our chosen park and also that we do not annoy other people by accidentally filming them. This will be overcome by filming in a park which is not popular and by not doing it during hours which children will obviously be there (i.e. after school times).
