Risk Assessment - Miss Georgiou

Within my planning process i created a risk assessment to ensure that all the members of my group avoided accidents when filming our opening thriller sequence. This chart consisted of a description of numerous potentential hazrads and how we can prevent that particular risk. This was important within our filming process as it ensured that all our group members were safe when filming with potential dangers such as the knife. I believe this process was successfull as we avoided all accidents when filming, this was because we recognised what the potential hazards are then we under-went precautions to ensure we avoided these hazards.

Within our risk assessment the most obvious and dangerous risk was the one of the knife, this convention of the thriller genre would be used within our thriller to cause fear within the audience but was also a risk to the people creating the opening sequence. We planned to prevent this risk by not running with it as this would ensure that we wouldn't drop it, when filming we also used a knife cover when we wasn't using it this meant it couldn't cut anyone when being transported.
