Risk assessment - Miss Georgiou

Risk Assessment

It is important to consider risks before filming as it means that we can identify any potential hazards and hopefully find ways to avoid them when we are filming. We have found 8 potential hazards when we are filming and identified his we will stop them from happening. It is important to consider these risks before filming as it means we have considered the safety of the group and the public. 

The risk assessment will assist us when filming as when we are filming and we come across hazards we will now know how to deal with them and mean that we don't waste any time trying to overcome the problems. This means that we have more time to spend filming rather than wasting time overcoming issues when we could be editing our footage or filming more.
