In
order to prevent any members falling over appliances resulting to broken
leg/arm etc I will ensure all equipment and appliances are put away safely
towards a corner and not in the way of actors during production. Before any
camera work begins I will ensure everyone taking part is aware of the
surroundings which are being used for filming and therefore they will know
the boundaries to which areas are not to be used and where all the equipment
is if they need to use it.

Due
to use of food and liquid in scene 2 there is a potential risk of spillage of
liquid which could lead to: harm in electronics, and other cast members
slipping in order to ensure this does not occur I will make sure Hajera
(playing Sarah) is cautious and weary when shooting the scene.

As
I will be using a time lapse in my film of the sun set to show the transition
from light to dark and day to night, I will be in a very high building on the
top floor recording for a few hours. The dangers involve falling over from a
great hieght I order to prevent this I have therefore found a location that
is convenient as it has a glass window which I will be recording from.

When
using lighting as some individuals may have light sensitivity (whether mild
or severe). The use of light, specifically high key artificial lights which
(are adjustable ranging from extremely bright to extremely dim) may lead to
individuals having eye related problems, as the change in lighting effects
the eyes, in order to avoid this I will ask each member whether they are
light sensitive and adjust the lighting accordingly depending on the scene,
mes en scen needed and their own comfort.

As
my theme is zombie I will be using make up to dress my zombies to ensure I
capture the best possible mes en scen within my abilities, certain makeup has
chemicals which could cause a potential risk to skin such as irritation and
unwanted nuisance. In order to avoid this I will test all the makeup I am
using on my zombies before filming and ask each person playing a zombie how
they feel and where their comfort lies in using the makeup

When
filming although it takes rigours, long hours to film, there is a risk of
over-working the actors and actresses which could lead to back/leg/body pain
and general fatigue and poor health. I will ensure that none of my actors and
actresses do not feel they are being over-worked because I will spread the
filming time out to make sure that they are not constantly beign filmed also
I will make sure that they have regular breaks and stay dehydrated.
