Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is the identification, evaluation and estimation of the levels of risk involved in a situation. We need to complete a risk assessment for our filming as we can be aware of them before any damage occurs. The two different risks that may occur in our Thriller opening is technological risks and physical risks. 

This is a grid of our Technological Risks-

Item	Risk	Risk Level	When	How to Avoid
iPhone	-When chucking onto the desk, risk of smashing, breaking phone and possibly glass. -Running out of charge.	- High as glass may be dangerous. - Less of a danger .	- Occurs at the start of the opening.	- Phone can have a case so less chance of breaking. Possibly not throwing down as fiercely. -Put on charge.
iPad	- Running out of charge.	-Less of a danger.	- After iPhone clip.	-In scene the iPad is on charge therefore will not run out.
Laptop	- Risk of laptop falling off bed as she sits down, or gets up. It possibly may break, and glass will shatter. -Running out of charge.	- Risk is at a medium level as laptop is more durable but still may fall and break. - Not a big risk.	- As she gets up and checks her iPhone.	- Put laptop securely in the centre of the bed and make sure, lead attachment does not get pulled and drag it off. -On charge during scene.
Camera	- Risk of camera falling off tripod. -Running out of charge. - Compact area, risk of tripod and therefore camera falling over.	- This is a medium risk as nobody is in danger, camera may just be damaged. -Low risk. - Medium as camera may get damaged.	- Throughout the whole of our Opening.	- Attach camera to tripod and make sure it is securely on. - Put camera on charge early morning till filming. - Make sure the camera is in an area with more space. Only one person around the camera at one time.
