planning

1. Risk assessment
Hazard Person or persons at
risk
Likelihood of hazard
(1= least likely to
happen, 5= most
likely)
Severity of hazard
(1= lowest risk, 5 =
highest risk)
Risk level
Likelihood + severity /2
Measure taken to reduce risk
tripping or falling in the
woods, causing wounds
the whole production
crew and cast.
dependant on the
weather risk can vary
from 2-5
depending on the
place from when they
fall or if they fall onto
something most likely
2-3 possibly 4 if really
bad
the risk level whilst
filming in the woods
would be ranging from a
2-5 as it is dependent on
the weather on the dates
we are set to be filming
on.
wear appropriate clothing whilst on
site filming and wear shoes with a
lot of grip on the ground or boots if
you have them. Bring medical kit
with us in case this happens.
not being able to set up
camera correctly whilst
filming shots
camera crew 1-2 nothing bad
should happen just
shots wont be as
desirable when
filming
1-2 n 1-2 low level risk bring adjustable tripod that allows
for the camera crew to position the
camera in a wide variety of locations
.
Falling out of a tree whilst
trying to get high up shot
looking down on our
characters
Camera crew 1-2 shouldn’t happen
at all really because
these types of shots
would be fairly rare
anyway
3-5 depending on how
high and how far they
fall from
3 should not occur but if it
does could be a severe
accident.
Have someone with a mobile phone at
all times just in case accidents occur, so
that we can call 999 if anything serious
happens.
Getting lost The whole production
crew
1-3 probably will not
happen as Leon knows
his way around the
woods fairly well as he
lives locally in the area
surrounding the woods
1-3 get lost in the
woods unable to find
each other, an incident
could happen whilst
lost.
1-3 gets dark very
quickly as it is winter
and you could get lost
as a result .
Bring a map and or a compass
whilst filming so that we know
where to go if we get lost whilst
filming. And bring lighting
equipment for if it gets dark.

2. Permissions
Whilst creating a film it is extremely important to have received all of the necessary permissions needed from the production
crew actors and owners of the location as it giver you the right to the
The impact of failing to inform relevant authorities could result in unnecessary police resources being deployed. It can disrupt
your filming and the local community.
If you are a small crew — five people or fewer — using a handheld camera and your filming will not cause an obstruction then
there is no restriction to filming .
If you think you are likely to cause an obstruction whilst filming then you need to apply to film via the appropriate Local
Authority. But as we are a small crew we don’t need to because we will be using a hand held camera, wont be causing any
obstructions, so there is no restriction to our filming.
