Risk Assessment


Risk
Threat
Severity
Actions to take
Vehicles whilst filming very close to a busy road in the town center.
Crew or cast member falling into the road and being hit by a vehicle.
High
We will ensure to maintain a 1metre gap between the road and the shot at all times.
Being distracted during the scenes inside the car.
Other road users misinterpreting the car which could lead to collision and angry drivers.
Medium
One member of the crew will be on constant lookout for cars and hazard warning lights will be used when other car users arrive. We will also film on a quiet road.
Falling over during the filming in dark scenes.
Tripping over during the night time shoots. This could lead to injuries such as cuts and potentially a broken bone.
Low
If the pavement isn’t clear, use the torch on your phone to make it clearer and avoid injury.


Before shooting, we created a risk assessment which encountered and dealt with the major health and safety concerns. There were many other issues that we needed to consider but these were the main three that we thought we needed a plan of action to avoid.

Final Theatrical Poster Ideas

Image
These are the top two posters as part of the promotion package for our film: We chose this poster as it fits with the conventions of real media products and the addition of film festivals compared to the other posters adds a level of authority. The image chosen shows a young girl smoking, immediately making the audience question the film and bringing about themes of innocence and vulnerability as well as harsh themes. The title of the film is bold and a lot bigger than the rest and the poster contains credits, making it look professional. We also chose this poster as one of the top two as it highly inspired by the 'London to Brighton' poster and follows the same format as the theatrical poster for the film. The fragmented images give the audience some ideas of the action and the scenes that are seen in both the trailer and the film. The colours chosen for this poster fit the colour palette extremely well and closely and by adding quotes from well known critics and...
