The document discusses conducting a risk assessment for a school photography production. It identifies potential hazards from equipment like the camera, lighting stands, and props, as well as from overcrowding the set. To prevent issues, the assessment recommends securely mounting equipment, limiting time using hot items, restricting access to the set and stands, and safely storing props. Within budget constraints, the plan is to use volunteer student models from ages 16-17 with permission and during after school hours in compliance with child protection laws. Props chosen are content appropriate spy accessories that will be obtained through school resources.

1. Risk assessment
I will personally conduct a well formulated and precise risk assessment for the purpose of when
taking shots with a 550d camera for my production and models.
Equipments images What are the hazards How can I prevent them
550D camera • The camera falling
because not screwed
on
• Camera overheat
• Double check that the
camera is stable on the
stand
• Use camera for set time
Photoshoot back screen • The set becomes
overcrowded
• Light stands and wiring
• Minimise the amount of
people allowed to be
on set
• Ensure that actors are
aware and away from
stands and wires
Props (plastic swords) • Ensure that it does
create harm to anyone
• To be used in the
wrong way
• The prop shall be
placed in a secure place
• Only those permitted to
use he prop can use it

2. Budget
I realise that I will be using school material and I personally do not have the finance to support professional
actors and equipment's. My solution to this however is to use correct volunteered candidates at my school,
preferably 16-17 years teenagers. This is because to allow them to use equipment with a sense of maturity and
to also allow with their permission if they could be used for a photoshoot. I will follow the child protection law,
this is where students have the right to study without uneccry intrusion and must have permission to be used
for non profit images”. I will follow the regulations by setting a convenient time where the teenagers can come
freely, this will be during afterschool. I will also need to have personal consent form from them for proof to
use their images for non profit.
The props I have chosen to use are
Spy glasses Spy pen
The props I have chosen to use are content appropriate for both my primary
audience and secondary audience. i will attain thses props witin school
resources, they will be used for the purpose of the front cover of magazine
and furthermore these props add to the idea of my magazine being with the
latest trend, action.
