Health and Safety

When filming we had to take into cosideration health and safety aspects within location and surroundings to ensure the safety of our actors, ourselves and people around our locations.
We had various locations in which we were filming so we had to make sure we thought about health and safety when it came to the filming.
1st location - Street (CCTV)

-We had to make sure the young girl (Angel) was safe walking down the road and make sure the road wasnt busy without disrupting any drivers.
2nd location - Field/Forrest
-When filming in an exterior location we had to be aware of the environment and so made sure not to litter or harm any animals that may be around.
-We also respected any people that were out as we came across some dog walkers as it is a public place and had to act politely to any public memeber around the filming location.
3rd location - Kitchen
-This scene was a busy scene with 3 of the actors featured coming in and out of the scene. We had to make sure the room was clear avoiding any trips and falls and injuries to our actors.
-We also made sure props were safely handled (butter knife) by an adult.
4th location - Bathroom
-When filming in the bathroom and with use of water, we had to be aware of the electrical equipment (camera) we were using to film in order for no damage to occur so made sure the camera was away from any water being used as this would not only damage the equipment but could also harm actors or ourselves.
