Planning: Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment 

Trip over the tripod

 As we were using a tripod for filming with, there was a risk that myself or one of the members in the group could trip over the legs of the tripod and cause injury to themselves or others aswell as damaging the tripod itself. We will attempt to avoid this risk by making sure we are aware of when the tripod is in use and to be careful of it and also to make sure we put away the tripod carefully after we have finished using it. 

Dropping equippment 

Dropping the equippment is an issue as it would mean that we damage the camera or tripod or other pieces of equippment which could result in them being damaged or broken. To avoid dropping any of the equippment, we will make sure to always wear the camera straps around our necks and to keep all camera equippment in the correct bags that they belong in to protect them from being damaged.

Tripping over branches, rocks, being aware of loose branches
We plan to do some of our filming in a wooded area, so some risks we might face are tripping over branches of trees, rocks and other folliage. This could result in injuries inflicted on either myself or the others in my group, and also, if conditions were windy, we would have to be mindful of any loose branches that could fall onto our heads whilst filming. To avoid this risk happening, we would be mindful of our location and be careful of where we walked. 

Get lost
The wooded area were want to film in was quite large so there was a possibility that my group could get seperated or confused to where we were and may get lost momentarily. We would make sure this wouldnt happen by not going to far into the wooded area and always be able to contact each other via mobile phones. This risk was unlikely to happen but we decided we still needed to consider the possiblity that this could happen.
