Planning

Risk Assessment...
When my group and I had planned the order of the opening sequence, we picked out possible risks and dangerous situations which could be harmful to the actors, and came up with ways to prevent accidents from happening. Below I have listed all the possible dangers the actors may face when filming and ways in which the risks can be reduced or the accidents can be avoided.

Crossing the road (Scene 1)

• People will be watching the traffic whilst the person filming crosses the road with the camera.

Stabbing needles into the voodoo doll (Scene 5)

• Actor playing the killer will ensure that their hand isnt under the voodoo doll.

Body standing on table with noose round neck (Scene 9)

• People who aren't in the shot or who aren't filming will be standing either side of the table to ensure the actors safety if they were to fall.

Going upstairs (Scene 17)

• People who aren't in the shot or who aren't filming will be standing behind the camera on the stairs to ensure safety of the actor and person filming.

Body in bath under water (Scenes 19,20,21)

• We will ensure that the actor goes under water as late a possible so that they are under for as little time as possible. When being pushed down, it will be filmed quickly to give the actor time to come back up for air.
