Risk Assessment

Location
The primary location for filming will be taking place down Steeplestone Close which is a dead end road.


Hazards
Procedures
Vehicles
Prior to filming we must ensure that the road is completely clear, making sure that there are no pedestrians who could be in danger.
Weather
If it starts to rain profusely we must halt production as the equiptment is being borrowed from the school, thus not wanting to damage electricals.



Location
The secondary location we will be filming at will be the interior of the house.


Hazards
Procedures
Fire
If in an emergency where we need to exit the building in case of a fire, we have assigned evacuation points.

Location
The location for filming will take place at Steeplestone Close, a dead end road which will be the main set for the soap opera.
Date
Tuesday 1ST March 2011
Time
3:30pm
What will we film?
We will film the scene where the car pulls into the road and when the car pulls outside the house.
What we looked at?
This location is suitable for filming, as it is a dead end road thus allowing us to film the trailer without frequent disturbance and interruption by pedestrians. As we approach the summer the natural daylight is significantly brighter than basic halogen lighting. We have to ensure that the road is clear in order to film without disturbing other members of the neighbourhood. The purpose of filming down this specific road is due to the fact this particular road will be the main setting within the soap opera, much like Coronation Street.
