PITCH TASK 16 - risk assesment (Sam Jahan-Ahmed)

Location: Old Street

Risk	Hazard	How this can be prevented or changed
Roads	Could get hit by vehicle or cyclist.	Stay on the pavement; make sure you are a safe distance from the curb.
Roads and pedestrians	Camera could get hit by vehicle or cyclist. It could also get damaged by pedestrians	Try to avoid peak times like rush hour where these streets will be crowded. Try filming in the side path locations at this time. We should ensure that we are with the camera at all times and guard it.
Dropping camera	The camera could be dropped onto the pavement	We need to be careful with the equipment and guard it.
Night	It could be dangerous at night for the night scenes we need	We should film as soon as the sun sets as it will be winter so the days will be shorter. This means we will not technically have to go out very late but it will be dark

Location: Regents Canal

Risk	Action carried out	How this can be prevented
Canal	Us, or the equipment, could fall into the canal while filming	Film away from the water edge. We should stay where the railings are.
Walking public	They could knock over the camera, get into the shot or find it inconvenient	Make sure to not loiter and stay as quiet as we can. People are friendly there but it would be polite to do so. We should film when it’s less crowded and we should shoot when we’re sure people have walked past the pathway.

  Location: Railings

Risk	Action Carried out	How this can be prevented or changed
Walking public	Members of public could bump into us or the apparatus	Try to work around people and try to film when it’s not crowded
Night	It could be dangerous at night for the night scenes we need	We should film as soon as the sun sets as it will be winter so the days will be shorter. This means we will not technically have to go out very late but it will be dark

  General

Risk	Hazard	How this can be prevented or changed
Thieves	The equipment because it is very expensive might get stolen.	Make sure we aren’t anyway too unsafe, with people around even if it’s not crowded. Stay with our equipment at all times.
Fake flare	Could be unsafe or an annoyance in a crowded area. Could be dangerous to us and the public as they may suspects a fire especially in a city area.	Make sure we use an area where it is appropriate and with no houses or estates or buildings around. We may need to look into the fields around my (sam's) house or another area as we cannot use side paths as we initially planned.
