1. Risk Assessment
As Director I am responsible for the majority of these risks, however
it is important to remember that general health and safety rules and
‘”common sence” should be obeyed at all times.

In the case of the actor being
ill, I will ensure a substitute is in
place a few days beforehand.
All
Me/ Actor In case of myself being ill,
the risk cannot be overcome
and imminent reschedule will
need to take place.
Sometimes there may be
unexpected circumstances in
which the actor or myself is
unable to make a shoot sue
All
Me / Actor to clashes with other events,
and as such regular face-to-face
contact will be maintained to
ensure that the project runs
smoothly. The actor has been
chose based
on their reliability and they are
unlikely to let me down.
I will check the weather forecast
beforehand and ensure that it is
appropriate for the relevant scene. If
it is not, rescheduling will need
Outdoors
N/A
to take place as early as possible
and thus the forecast will check
at regular intervals leading up to
the shoots. Weather such as
heavy rain and wind will
beinappropriate in all circumstances
as it will be inconvenient and may
damage equipment.

2. Memory card full
/ formatting
Malfunction
All
Me
I will ensure that I bring at least
two back-up memory cards to ever
shoot so that if one does not work
I am fully covered. I will use USB
memory cards as these hold huge
amounts of video footage.
