Planning- Health and Safety

When planning filming there are various health and safety risk that we need to take into consideration. Each location poses its different threats and we must overcome.

Football stadium

• There are thousands of people at a football game . we therefore need to try to avoid the crowd whilst filming them. To do this we have discovered various places where we can film safely where there will not be lots of people. ( see Recce of location specific)
• The locations we have chosen to film does not provide any electrical power source to charge cameras. we will therefore have to take various fully charged battery packs with us when we film.

Train Station

• A train station is obviously a very dangerous place . the station we have chose to film at is very small which makes it even more dangerous. we can reduce this risk by filming at the station at off peak times the allow ourselves more space.
• to also eliminate this risk we have spoken to the station manager of ' Drayton park station' and let him know the dates we will be filming.

Around Finsbury park

• in this location we are mainly using tracking shots of the main character running. we therefore have to use moving equipment like trolleys or skateboards. the locations we have choose have smooth pavements or smooth bicycle tracks which will reduce the risk of injury.
