Pre-production - Risk assessment

Now I have submitted my draft script I can start the production process for my short drama, Ripple. 

Today I printed off 2 copies of the 'UCA Risk assessment for student work' and filled them out. 

This is a risk assessment for the main location (riverside). I carefully detailed the potential risks that may occur during filming, who would be affected, likelihood that the risk would happen and the harm it would do. This location is next to a river so the obvious risk is that someone could fall into the river. Part of the location is near a main road so it is likely that a risk could happen. 

The other location is at the beginning of the film, the bedroom. The risks here are low as it is a controlled environment, having said that a risk can happen at any time so I made sure that I checked around the location to see if there were any risks that could happen during filming. I detailed the doors as a risk due to my storyline having the character rush out of the door. The risk here is that someone could injure themselves by trapping their finger in the door or knocking into it as it shuts (being a fire door). 

I put it as a low risk with both injury and likelihood being unlikely. 

I have both copies ready to be checked and signed by Simon before I can begin filming.
