Graveyard
When filming in a graveyard we
must be very careful and
respectful of the grave around
us as we could end up steeping
on them or worse tripping over
them and causing ourselves an
injury. We must also look out for
uneven ground in the grass and
on the path as again this may
cause and accident if someone
was to step on a bit of uneven
ground.

Low

When filming in the graveyard

we must be respectful of the
graves around us and make sure
we look where we are going as
we do not want to accidently trip
and step on a grave. We must
also take care when walking on
the grass as the floor could be
uneven.

Alley ways
It is most likely to be dark when
we are filming down the alley
ways therefor we must be
careful as there may be uneven
grounds which could make us
trip and because it is dark we
must be careful where we are
walking as it is a possibility that
we may walk into something
and hurt ourselves. We must
also be aware of pedestrians
walking through alley ways
because we dont want to walk
into anyone.
High Street
We must take care in the high
street as there may be
pedestrians, again uneven
grounds and things that we
could walk into. Even though we
are most likely going to film on
the pavements we still have to
take into consideration the
parked and moving cars on the
road, as we do not want to
damage anyones car nor cause
a collision.

Low

As it will be fairly dark when we

film down the alley ways we
must look where we are going.
And maybe before we start
filming we should use a torch to
examine the space we have so
we roughly know how much
space we have when filming.
And we must be aware of
pedestrians as we do not want
them to appear in the
background of our film.

High

When filming in the high street

we must look out for pedestrian
as like I have mentioned they
cant be in the background of our
film. We must stay clear of
parked cars and moving cars.
And look out for uneven ground.

Car Park

Within a car park there is only

one main thing we should look
out for which would be the
parked cars and the moving
cars entering and exiting the
car park.

High

When in the car park we should

take extra care when filming and
make sure that if we are going
into the road of the car park we
look both ways to see if a car is
coming. And it would be a good
idea if one member of the group
standing on the corner so that
they can notify us when a car is
approaching.
We must take care on the stairs
and make sure we look where we
are going and we must not run
on the stairs either.

Stairs
The obvious hazard when
filming on the stairs would be
the danger of falling down
which could cause injury. We
must also be aware of people
walking up and down the stairs
and not get in their way.

Medium

Drama Studio
When filming in the drama
studio the floor is usually quite
slippery meaning there is a
chance that we could slip over
and hurt ourselves. The curtains
are also a hazard and we must
be careful as we could again slip
on the bottom of them or they
could fall down if any weight is
put on them. And the last
hazard would be the lights and
the wires on the floor, as the
person controlling the lights
could get an electric shock and
others may trip and fall over the
wires which can cause an injury.
Pavements/ Uneven floors

Medium

To avoid an electric shock we

should try and use the lights a
less as possible and look out for
the wires so we dont trip up. So
we dont slip we should wear
appropriate footwear to give us
grip. And as for the curtains we
should try and stay as far away
from them as possible.

Medium

We must look out and be careful

about where we are walking and
try to avoid the areas of the
ground which happen to be
uneven.

Uneven floors can cause

someone to fall over which
may cause an injury.

Road
Obviously a road can be very
dangerous as there are either
stationary cars parked on the
road side and we dont want to
damage them or moving cars in
the road where a collision could
be caused.

High

We must stay clear of parked

cars so we dont damage them
and if we do happen to go in the
road we must take very good
care making sure we look both
ways before we cross and
making sure the rest of the road
is clear. We should also maybe
have one member of our group
stand in the road at a safe
distance so that they can warn
the rest of the group if there are
any oncoming cars so we can
move off the road until the car
has past. But most importantly
we should try not to stay in the
road for too long.

Hill
Again uneven ground can be a
problem but the actual
steepness of the hill we need to
be careful of as there is a
possibility that we could fall
down which can cause an injury.

Medium

We must not run down the hill as

we may lose balance and fall and
again watch out for uneven
grounds and look where we are
going.
