1. Evaluation
Pros: We have the main idea about what the short film is about and we have the main
characters.
Cons: We need to get permission for the location we want if we need it and getting the
costume and props that we need. On the other hand we have five characters but for four
people.

4. Risk Assessment
Why should you carry out a risk assessment?
Risk assessments are very important as they form an integral part of an occupational health
and safety management plan. They help to: create awareness of hazards and risk. Identify
who may be at risk ( e.g., employees, cleaners, visitors, contractors, the public, etc.).

6. Location Recce Form
We are planning to film in Epping forest which it is easier for everyone to get to because it is
a camping scene to get to Epping forest you will have to drive up to the forest but you will
have to get the bus or train upto loughton station and then walk 30 mins.
I like how it's not a crowded area so that we can film a forest is a good place to film a horror
film because it is isolated and gives off a scary atmosphere and also filming in a forest is
good because are film is based on camping.
The problem that we could run into is there could be drug dealers in the forest because they
know that no one would come into the forest.
The only way to overcome the problem is by avoiding them in the forest.
