Planning: Risk Assessment

When we go out filming there are going to be many external risks that are out of our control; the possibility of theft of the camera or tripod when filming in crowded and big exterior locations, especially Camden Town, Brick Lane and Kings Cross. When we film in these locations our group is going to have to be extremely careful; one person will be in charge of the camera and another the tripod and will never  take their eyes of the equipment; that way someone is always with the equipment and knows where it it is... this makes it less likely that theft will occur or that anything will get lost or accidently left behind somewhere such as on transportation like the bus or train which we will be using to travel to our exterior locations... these modes of transport tend to be very packed and crowded so extra precautions need to be taken. 


During our filming time in Kings Cross we need to be wary that the fountain (which we plan to use as backdrop for a base track) does not get within distance of the camera as the water will damage the camera and could possibly damage or break it. 

At Ladbroke Grove skatepark we need to be cautious of not getting too close to the skateboarders when filming them as they could crash into the equipment and break or damage it. Our performer also needs to stay at a distance as she could get hurt quite badly if one of the skateboarders crashes into her.  At the skatepark, we need to be aware of our footing in the sense of how we set up the camera and where we step as the skatepark has quite an uneven ground; especially the ramps which we will be standing on and be next to when filming and if we aren't careful we could trip and hurt ourselves or the equipment could be set up unsteadily and get damaged or broken.
