Risk Assessment

One risk which is possible at our location is filming on the stairs. This is because we are planning on filming a tracking shot which will require the camera to follow the actor up the stairs, there will also be a low angle shot from half way up the stairs. To prevent this risk from happening we will make sure that we are all careful when walking up the stairs.

Another risk which could occur is spilling the fake blood or getting it on equipment/ items at the location. To prevent this risk, we will be using the fake blood the day before and putting it on props a day prior to filming. This will allow time for the fake blood to dry and therefore we won’t have to use fake blood on the day.

This location is good to use in our thriller opening sequence because it already has a teenage girl and her family living in it. We will be filming on the stairs, the living room/ conservatory, the hallway and the teenage girl’s bedroom. We are going to film in the conservatory instead of the living room because it is extremely light and we need lots of light when filming, whereas in the living room it is quite dark even with the lights on.

We will need to make sure that we have lots of light in all of the settings in the house so that it is easy to film and we can see clearly what is happening in the scene.
