This document provides a template for conducting a risk assessment for a film production. It includes an example risk assessment of hazards like hot sand and an uncontrolled dog. The template includes tables to assess risk based on likelihood and consequences, and an action plan template to address risks rated high or extreme. Contact information for emergencies is also included to coordinate response for issues that may arise during production.
Film Language: Camera Movements in Cinema and Film Studies. Ian Moreno-Melgar
A long PDF that has been used to introduce GCSE Film Students to the complicated process of identifying and explaining the use of camera movement. This is a fairly detailed series of slides which I have used in school for a couple of classes now. As it is a PDF the clips do not play but where possible I've used SlideShare and YouTube to embed the relevant videos which is why some images or slides may appear repeated. Included on the slide are a list of the videos referred to and used. . Similarly, as it was designed to be used in lessons the overall 'structure' is somewhat disjointed and is missing slides that includes answers or ideas that were discussed in lessons. In order to help where possible, I've included large versions of worksheets so that these can be clipped and printed out if necessary. Many thanks for taking a look and please feel free to take a look at my other uploads as you will find plenty there on other aspects of Film Studies
Eduqas New GCSE Film Studies: An approach to Component 2, Global Film. Ian Moreno-Melgar
A PowerPoint presentation I've presented at various Eduqas (WJEC) CPD sessions in January/February 2017 that looks at possible approaches to Component 2 of the new Film Studies GCSE. This presentation focuses on the use of Let the Right One in, Attack the Block and District 9 as well as how to incorporate elements of Film Language and context. There are several resources included here, many of which can be found on the WJEC/Eduqas Facebook group. Please get in touch if I can help in any way.

1. FILM PRODUCTION 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 (see table on
following page). The further action(s) to be considered will be determined by the level of risk assessment.
Example
Hazard Persons who may Property which Risk controls already Risk Assessment Further action
be harmed may be damaged in place LOW, MODERATE, required to control
HIGH, EXTREME risk ***

Give careful consideration to the availability of information and ability to make contact in the event of problems.
Examples to consider:-
• Is there mobile ‘phone reception in the area ?
• How will you keep up to date with changes in the weather ?
• How will you be informed of changes in tidal waters ?
• How easy is it for members of the emergency services to reach you ? (cliffs, beaches, quarries, etc)
