risk assessment

Risk assessment is important to a film maker, as not matter what you are filming, a risk assessment should be made before you film your production. Film maker makes risk assessment by thinking through the filming day and consider whether there are any potential hazards, what could result from this hazard and how the risk can be reduced or avoided. And this makes sure film makers' responsiblity as they need to consider the safety of everyone in the filming.

When I am looking at the risk assessment for my production, it is unlikely that I will write out a formal risk assessment, since in my production, there are less hazards than those in an action movie. However, I still found out some hazards for my production, and therefore, I still make a simple risk assessment for my product.

My production name is called 'Study Abroad', which is a TV documentary about a Chinese student studying in a British school. It is made by me, Ziqi Zhang and my friend Melissa Fu. And our main location for the documentary is the school. I think our production making will start from 7th Feburary till 20th Feburary.  In our production, we are going to film a Chinese student, Cynthia, about her daily life in a British school, and we are going to interview some people, here is mainly our EAL teacher, Mrs Allen. Therefore, the main risk assessments are in those two part.

I made a risk assessment by using a website which is called 'Risk Assessment Tool', which the main use of it is to create the risk assessment.

Here is the risk assessment that I made:
