panning to each of them.
The camera operator as there
w as a counter that they had to
film underneath.
Medium chance of risk We made sure to keep the area as clear as possible of both people and possible trip obstacles to give the
camera operator enough space to get in and out of the space w ithout injury.
A narrow room where we
were filming.
All crew members w ere at risk
of tripping or knocking over
equipment in the narrow
space.
Medium chance of risk We made sure to move equipment out of the w ay in order to avoid knocking them over and w e either taped
dow n or moved tripped hazards, such as wires, so we could move around w ithout tripping over.
A scene where a character
runs and dives out of shot
The actor is at riskof receiving
carpet burn injuries fromthe
action.
Medium chance of risk We discussed different waysthat the actor could still shoot the scene that w ould minimise as much riskof
injury as possible, w e also had a first-aid kit just in case of injury.
Shooting in a corridor
outside of a classroom.
Other students that are trying

Low chance of risk. We tried filming as far fromthe classroomdoor as the shot w ould allow , we also made the teacher and the
class aw are of where we were before the lesson began.
