Following safe working practices - P2(c)



Hazard
Persons who may be harmed
Property which may be damaged
Risk control already in place
Risk assessment
(LOW, MODERATE, HIGH, EXTREME)
Further action required to control risk
Rain
None
Camera
Make sure the actors have umbrellas in case of unexpected rain. Always have a bag for camera to hide it if the rain will start.
Unlikely, low
Check the weather forecast
Lack of commitment and support from some of the actors
Whole crew
None
Choose the right actors who are responsible
High, because if the actors decide not to cooperate, the production process is likely to be harmed
Explain the actors how important it is to cooperate productively
Actors being late
Whole crew
None
Emailing the actors about the time and asking them to be sure they come on time, organizing the actors
High, because if we have to wait the actors every time, the production process will be delayed and productivity will fall
Call the actors and remind them about the shooting process (time, place) 
Camera is running out of battery
Director
None
Make sure that the camera is charged before shooting
Unlikely, low
Always charge the camera, otherwise the production process will be harmed
Noise
Director, actors
None
Choose the right time to shoot, when there will be no people who can damage the shooting process and affect the attention of the actors
High, as there are a lot of students in the school, especially young teenagers who are likely to be noisy
Try to avoid time when a lot of students are in the school


Fortunately, we didn't face serious problems when there was a high risk to damage our crew or equipment as we were following our risk control plan. Actors were always on time and the weather was good so we were able to shoot without difficulties. We made sure our camera is fully charged before shooting process. Actors understood that the commitment is very important and tried to help our crew as hard as they could. We always chose the right time for filming and noone was able to damage our process and disturb our actors. The only problem we had is that as we are unprofessional directors we needed more time to get the right nice shots, therefore, sometimes the shooting process was longer than expected. However, all the actors were fine with it and helped us to make good shots for our  project.
