These are issues that we need to consider fully and carefully when carrying out our filming.
Firstly, we need to make sure that the area we are filming in is practical. This means that it shouldn’t be dimly lit, in case of an accident.
We need to make sure there are no hazards nearby, for example busy roads, that we plan to film the characters crossing, climbing trees, filming near any transport like train tracks etc.
This is obvious but I’m still going to write it, we cannot light any fires for filming, or use any illegal substances like drugs. Also if we want to show characters with alcohol, then it should be faked, for example using apple juice in replacement of wine.
We need to remember that we will be filming in public places, and some areas can be dangerous, therefore it would be best to inform parents or guardians of our whereabouts.
We need to film on public property, unless one of our group members owns the land and has given permission for us to film there.
If we are filming from a height, we need to find a safe and stable raised area, so that this can be carried out without injury.
Public areas could present problems in terms of hazardous waste, for example the ground we will film on needs to be checked for, glass, animal excrement, cans and other objects that could harm cast members.
We should select a member of our group as risk manager, this way they can assess the potential problems with the filming locations.
