Research and Planning: Film Trailer Overall Production - Risk Assessment

The following are issues that may occur during our filming production stage:


  • Actors being busy (unable to film)
  • Weather (heavy rain for instance would prevent filming as damage to cameras).
  • Sound (cars, passer-by's, nature).
  • Loss of footage (other students use cameras and could delete unknowingly).
How we will try to prevent these issues occuring: 

  • Set up a schedule and agree times/dates with all actors required at that time.
  • Film inside and/or when weather clears.
  • Wait for time of quiet.
  • Label cameras clearly so others know not to delete footage without consulting us beforehand.
