Risk Assessment - Miss Georgiou.

Why is it important to consider risks before filming?
Considering all the risks which you may face when filming is key in ensuring that all the actors, filming crew and pedestrians all remain safe and there is no accidents when filming our music video. This is important because it ensures that everyone involved with the production process knows exactly how to undergo the filming process in the safest possible way without injuring themselves or anyone else, as they have previously recognised these risks and acknowledged how they can be avoided and know exactly how to act when faced with each specific risks.

How will the risk assessment assist you with filming?
Our risk assessment will assist us when filming as it means that we already know how to avoid these risks and therefore we can immediately take precautions rather than us recognising these risks, and having to take precautions, as we go along which would take more time and possibly result in us not preventing these risks. The fact that it prevents us from these hazards also will assist us with filming because if we was to cause one of these accidents then it would take up a lot of time but this risk assessment should make sure that we don't unnecessarily waste this vital time.

  1. You have made a start in explaining what the purpose of a risk assessment is. But you also need to ensure that you have fully explored the whole of your production and especially your club shots.
