Risk Assesment

There are many risks involved with the filming with the video.

Firstly, as the video is being shot in the field, there is long grass and will be equipment such as wires and tripods lying about, this will mean that actors and crew could fall over this making it a serious hazard. The severity would only be medium, as it cannot cause any extremely bad injuries but could cause things like a twisted ankle. The precautions we could take would be to try not to leave things lying about on the floor and to make sure all members of crew know about the equipment lying about.

There maybe some temporary structures such as ladders up, so all crew will need to know how to use it. It's severity would be high, as a big fall off the ladder could result in multiple injuries. The precations we would take would be to make sure that a person was always holding the ladder and that they are positioned safely.

As in the field, we will be using cars to light up the area where we are filming, we will need to make sure that they are in neutral and are positioned so they are not blocking anything off. The severity of the risk is low, as it is unlikely that something could go wrong but we have to make sure that everything is taken seriously. The precautions are, as previously mentioned to put the cars gears in neutral.

One other prop we are using in the video  is that of a firework. The severity of this risk is obviously very high, as it is a dangerous object which can cause many injuries. Precautions such as wearing gloves and keeping a safe distance will have to taken, so that nothing goes wrong.
