The above enabled me to identify and understand more general risks of the film shoot, and furthermore come up with solutions that would help prevent these from occurring. Both the risk assessment and these general risks had to be considered throughout the day of filming, reducing the likeliness of accidents, damage to equipment or injury. Helping me operate with safe working practise.
Whilst filming in London, there was a vast range of hazards that could have possibly taken place throughout the day, therefore it was essential that I took great care at all times, completing every shot safely and efficiently, avoiding risks and hazards at all costs. In order to follow safe working practise, firstly I completed a Recce, in which I gathered information about local areas I was filming in, and familiarised myself with the surroundings. Additionally, I kept organised with the filming and kept out of the general public's way, and carefully placed equipment close to myself at all times, avoiding risk of loss or stolen items.
Hit by a car crossing the road
while crossing the road from the school to the path across the street there was a high risk that he would get hit by a car this is because we filmed it in a high traffic area we tried to minimise the risk by filming during an off peak time in the day.
Lighting
during some of the indoor scenes we needed to set up lighting this was to allow us to create a professional product we wanted to use lighting during the running scene this added a new danger which was the wires we had to tape these wires down to reduce the chance of the actor falling over while running down the hall.
Wet floor
Because we are filming during the winter we are very likely to get rained on and the floor is most likely to be wet so before we left i made sure everyone was wearing suitable foot wear with grippy soles and that the tripod has grippy bottoms.
leaving equipment unsupervised
I kept all the equipment locked in the bag when is wasn't being used and I counted all equipment before we left and when we came back and someone was watching it at all-times
RISK ASSESSMENT - http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg360.pdf
What is risk assessment?
Risk assessment is a careful examination of what could cause harm to people, so the production company/producer can weigh up whether adequate preventive or control measures have been taken or more should be done to prevent harm and to ensure that minimum legal standards are met.
You need to determine whether there are any significant hazards involved with the production activity and whether sufficient precautions have been taken to reduce the risk.
A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg chemicals, electricity, noise, work at height, loose cables. A risk is the chance that somebody will be harmed by the hazard, usually classified as high, medium or low.
Who should do risk assessment?
A competent person, who has knowledge, experience and understanding of the task or activity under assessment, should carry out the risk assessment.
If special technical knowledge is required, more than one person may be required, including someone who has the necessary competence in the particular activity, eg stunts, special effects, flying, animals, set design.
The producer is responsible for ensuring that risk assessments are completed for their productions. In practice, they may delegate risk assessment to other people, such as production managers, designers, heads of departments, the location manager or the unit manager.
In this case, the producer must ensure that:
● the person delegated is competent to perform the assessment, if
necessary, by providing training in risk assessment procedures or
other aspects of health and safety;
● the assessment is carried out;
● necessary controls are implemented effectively throughout the
production;
● the assessment is reviewed where changes or new circumstances have made the original assessment no longer valid.
For small-scale productions in low-risk situations, eg those involving a single camera or small crews, it is likely that the assessment can be carried out by the crew on the ground. The production company/producer must ensure that crew working on this style of production have the necessary
competence to perform risk assessment and implement effective controls.
In the case of ‘non-production’ activities, the responsibility for assessment rests with the departmental manager. Again, they are likely to delegate the assessment to others but will still retain the responsibility for ensuring that those to whom they delegate are competent to perform the assessment, that the assessment is carried out and the necessary controls are implemented
effectively and reviewed.
How do I carry out a risk assessment?
There are five simple steps in risk assessment:
Step 1 Look for hazards
Don’t get bogged down with trivial hazards; concentrate on those posing a
significant risk of injury or harm.
Step 2 Decide who might be harmed and how
Think about who may be affected and those who are particularly at risk.
Step 3 Evaluate the risk
Consider the chance and severity of harm that each hazard may cause, taking existing control measures into account.
Judge whether an actual risk (high, medium or low) is likely from the identified hazard. Determine the necessary control measures using the following hierarchy of approach:
● avoid the risk completely; but if this is not possible
●reduce the risk to acceptable levels;
● provide training and instruction, and personal protective equipment if the risks cannot be controlled in any other way;
● reduce risk at source by developing safe systems of working, giving
collective measures priority.
Step 4 Record the significant findings
The significant findings of the risk assessment should be recorded and communicated to those people who may be affected. In practice, this means ensuring that the production team and any contractors are informed of the significant hazards, the likely risks and the required control measures. Keep
a record for future reference, it will help to demonstrate compliance with legal duties. The legal requirement to record findings applies if five or more people are employed but smaller companies are recommended to record details in order to show that they have carried out risk assessment.
Step 5 Review and revise your risk assessment
New hazards can be introduced if there is any significant change in the
activity, equipment, substances or procedures. Risk assessments should be
revised following any significant change or when they become out of date. If
there have been no changes, the assessment should be reviewed at least once
every three years to ensure that the precautions are still working effectively.
cropping
I had to use the square highlighter tool found on left side tool bar and then I proceeded create a square using the tool i then used the bucket tool tool to fill it with a black colour this allows the white logo to stand out more which gives more emphasise on the logo.in addition to standard text, I also had to superimpose ralph Lauren logos onto the image. This helps the audience acknowledge the brand immediately, and therefore is essential to include within the final product.This process firstly involves importing the images into photoshop, this is done my selecting File, then Place:Secondly I had to select the image that was needed in the final image.After using the Magic Eraser Tool once again to remove the background, I had to use the Paint Bucket Tool to edit the image, changing it from white to black, otherwise the image would not be clear on the screen. I selected black for the foreground colour (shown below) to change the ralphlauren logo to white.

Lighting 
wet floor this would be a pretty low risk as everyone was wearing suitable shoes and it hadn't rained a huge amount 
the general public was a high risk on stauraday because londond was very busy
