This document provides a template for conducting a risk assessment for a film opening title sequence shoot. It involves listing hazards, who may be harmed, existing controls, risk level, and further actions. Many of the risks identified are related to computer viruses and ensuring virus protection is up to date. Other risks involve children's safety at a park and not obstructing roads during a shoot. The risk assessment chart defines risk levels from extreme to low based on likelihood and consequences of hazards.

1. FILM OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE SHOOT RISK ASSESSMENT
This document is intended as a basic template to assist in the completion of a risk assessment for film production activities.
Detailed information is available from a variety of risk management and risk assessment specialists. Useful information can also be obtained
from the Health & Safety Executive www.hse.gov.uk
When conducting a risk assessment, consider all the likely hazards; who may be harmed, property which may be damaged, and the controls
already in place. Then, for each likely hazard, bearing in mind the controls already in place, record the ‘risk assessment’ level. The further
action(s) to be considered will be determined by the level of risk assessment.
