Planning - Risk assessment - by ciara

We will be filming in Highgate Wood's which is approximately a 25 minute journey, some risks can be encountered on the way there and back and during filming.

Problem	Risk	Precaution
Carrying the filming equipment to and from our destination.	The equipment could be damaged, lost or stolen.	Ensure each group member has responsibility for individual pieces of equipment.
There is a short walk from each tube station from the college and to the woods involving crossing roads.	Equipment could be dropped or people could get run into.	As a group, we need to cross roads sensibly and where there are designated crossings.
We are filming outside so we need to be careful if the weather isn't very appropriate, i.e. if it rains.	The ground could be muddy and slippery, someone could slip and fall or damage equipment.	Make sure correct footwear is worn and take extra precaution when filming in more slippery or muddy areas.
Our title sequence is very fast paced and therefore involves a lot of fast movement such as running.	This could result in someone falling or tripping over branches or logs on the paths.	Check before filming the route we will use to ensure we know where such objects are or move any that could be potentially dangerous.
We also intend to film in the dark, as the sun starts to set	Like the previous risk, not being able to see where we are going someone could trip or break equipment.	Make sure we have suitable lighting to help guide us and so we can see what we are filming properly.
