Health and Safety

Before filming, health and safety of the public and crew must be considered, this is incredibly important to do because an injury to crew or public can result in a film being delayed, going over budget or being scrapped entirely. Therefore potential risks must be considered such as the weather, location aspects and members of the public.

When filming, the floor conditions must be taken into account at all times, ensuring there aren't any objects that could result in a person slipping over or damaged equipment. All wires must be taped down at all times to ensure that no one will trip over them and hut themselves or damage equipment. When shooting with a tripod, precautions must be taken to ensure that it will not fall over and break anything or hurt someone, when using a tripod, you must be extra aware of other people's workspace so that you do not invade it or that they do not invade yours, this is how accidents happen.

When shooting in the photography studio, all wires must be taped down to ensure no one hurts themselves or damages the lighting equipment. Studio lights should always be turned off at the plug when not in use to ensure the bulbs can cool down before being handled as the bulbs can become very hot and could burn someone or potentially break when moved.
