The document describes various types of safe working practices utilized during a photo shoot. For wires, a blanket was used to cover them and everyone was notified of their location, though gaffer tape could have provided better protection. A cat was entertained by someone else to prevent disturbances during the shoot. Equipment like a suitcase of clothes and a nightlight were moved carefully after alerting others. A ceiling fan was turned off after warning about the risk. Clothing snag hazards from equipment were avoided by informing all of placement. Lighting was tested in advance and changes were communicated to avoid surprises. Improvements like individual outfits or post-shoot light editing were rejected for compromising the overall quality or vision.

1. Evidence of
safe working
practise
Type of safe working practise How I utilised safe working practise Any improvements
Wire protection When taking photos inside my bedroom, I
managed to keep the wires covered so no one
would trip over them. I also let everyone know
where they were so everyone was aware.
I probably should have used more affective
way to keep them safe like use gaffer tape
instead of a blanket.
Cat protection I made sure that someone else in the house
was able to take care and entertain the cat so
he wouldn’t mess up our shoot or cause a
ruckus. Also we had the door shut.
There isn’t any improvements I could’ve made
other than waited for him to leave the house
but seeing as the shoot was at night, him
leaving was unlikely.
Heavy Equipment
(suitcase of clothes, nightlight)
I let the people know I was moving the
suitcase or nightstand when I was and where I
was putting it so no one would accidently hit
it.
I could’ve given the actors their outfits
separately which would’ve eradicated the
need for a suitcase to bring as everyone is
bringing in their own outfits.
Ceiling fan In my room there is a ceiling fan which could
harm anyone if they were to raise their arms
or jumped. I solved this issue but letting
everyone know of it and turned the fan off.
I could’ve wrapped it all in a protective
material so no one could even get close to it
but I found that unnecessary as when the fan
was off it was no longer a threat.
Trapping body and clothing in
equipment
I made sure everyone was aware of where the
equipment was so no one would snag their
clothes on anything.
I could’ve tried to make the clothes less baggy
but that would’ve affected the overall images
outcome for the worse.
Unusable lighting I made sure when prepping for the scene the
lighting was suitable and only made it darker
when it was time to shoot the photo. I would
also tell them when I was making it darker.
I could’ve attempted to take the photos in the
light and just changed the light levels in
photoshop later but that would’ve affected the
overall quality of the image.
