Risk assessment - Miss Georgiou

The reason we have to consider risks is because when filming a particular scene, some things could happen that were not meant to happen and this may lead to making the shot useless. It also helps so that the group can counter the problem quickly and efficiently making sure that all shots are acquired before it is time for everyone to go home or before it gets too dark making it hard for the camera to capture anything.

Before filming we have to take the hazards into account  as we may encounter one while filming and not have a clue what to do, however if we had created a risk assessment we could concur with the problem while filming. For example, if there is someone in the shot that is not meant to be in there and we accidentally forget to retake the shot, and then it comes to editing and find that that shot is the only one we have of it then we have to re shoot it which takes time, but if we had a risk assessment then we would know what to do and just stop them and say that we are doing a shot or filming a short sequence and then let them pass after we are done filming that specific shot. It's also good as it helps with planning as it lets us get over the more challenging obstacles that we may run into.
