Health And Safety Precautions

For the original storyboard:
It is important when filming that our actors and ourselves are safe from all the possible hazards, otherwise there could be painful consequences and the legal issues could arise. For the first day of shooting we are filming the park scene in Tonbridge park and these are all the potential risks we could think of and how we could prevent them from occurring:

Risk	Potential Hazard	Solution
Cold weather	Hypothermeia or cold sickness or neumonia	Do not go near river and ensure the location is not by the river
Bench	Ebony could fall off the other side	Make sure she doesn’t fall by having both feet firmly on the seat
Cigarette Lighter	She could burn herself accidently, especially if it is a windy day	Get Ebony to simply fiddle with the lighter and not to flick it on
Uneven surface in playground	The actors could fall and hurt themselves when running around the camera	Choose a location where there are no obstructions or uneven surfaces for our actors to run across

Risk	Potential Hazard	Solution
Obstructions on the floor	When filming on a floor with lots of props the crew member filming could easily trip up and hurt themselves	Create a path way for the cameraman and get them to observe the floor before filming the tracking shot
Bulb burst	Having lighting so cold to Ebony’s face, there is a very low risk it could explode and glass could get in her eyes	Make sure they are new bulbs and that the crew members are prepared for any situation that may occur
Water by electrical wires	The water could accidently be tipped over and someone could be electrocuted	Ensure there are no cabels or sockets near where we are filming and be aware of the water and not to knock it over
The chair and bed/ working with heights	Falling off the chairs and bed that we need to stand on to film above shots and hurting ourselves	Choose to stand on a chair that is stable and follow out the three point of contact rule at all times to ensure complete stability

Risk	Potential Hazard	Solution
River in the park	Drowning	Do not go near river and ensure the location is not by the river
Bench	Ebony could fall off the other side	Make sure she doesn’t fall by having both feet firmly on the seat
Cigarette Lighter	She could burn herself accidently, especially if it is a windy day	Get Ebony to simply fiddle with the lighter and not to flick it on
Uneven surface in playground	The actors could fall and hurt themselves when running around the camera	Choose a location where there are no obstructions or uneven surfaces for our actors to run across
