Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

When producing the film sequence, an important factor to keep in mind is that some scenes being carried out may need to be completed in front of members of the public, so it is important to ensure they do not interpret the actions carried out, as offensive or realistic enough to seek help. Here I am referring to the aspects of crime that are explored such as drug trafficking, the transport of alcohol, knife crime and gun crime. Included within this could also be any use of offensive language. 

It is also important to keep in mind the safety of the actors whilst carrying out certain scenes. When filming parts such as the stabbing in the park or the gang war, it must all be calculated who is going where and what action is occurring at what time, otherwise it can turn into something where people get hurt. This will including taking into account traffic on the roads if characters need to travel from one location to another, whilst carrying out a fight scene, this mainly applies to the third ancestor sequence when the gang war is occurring. 

In relation to safety, the props used for weaponry must be suitable and have no ability to cause real harm to other actors. It is also important that the actors know how to use them and when, to ensure no one is hurt or is anticipating a different action.
