Blog Post #19 Risk Assessment

 RISK ASSESSMENT CHART

       Filming in various locations comes with many risks. For some those risks may be natural disasters that delay filming, remote locations may require permits which can cost a lot of money, and some film locations like the inner city may have high crime rates which puts everyone involved in the production at risk. 

     The risk i am willing to take is filming at the park. The shots captured at the park will not only be during the day but at night as well. I have planned to film at Crews Lake Park. This park is home to many animals and some may even be dangerous such as snakes and spiders.

      Another risk present is the amount of other people at this park. By filming in a public setting I run the risk of dangerous people approaching my actors as well as myself. To avoid these risks me and my crew have decided to avoid speaking to strangers and proceeding through the park with caution and respect for the wildlife. 

     Although this is a risk my actors and i are willing to face, this is a mild risk due to the fact that it is highly avoidable. This means that if we do not put ourselves in the face of danger by talking to strangers we can avoid this risk from occurring. Acknowledging the risks that come with filming is important so you can set a plan in case something was to happen.
