Risk Assessment

During the production of our video we had to take into account the potential risks of filming around and preparing the scene with the bands initials in fire. During our filming we made sure to keep away from the flammable liquids used while my Dad who is responsible and has more experience poured them. For the shots of the petrol being poured we actually used a can filled up with water, the difference is almost unnoticeable and this avoided the danger of unnecessarily spilling petrol.



We also made sure to try out our idea for the bands initials on fire with smaller amounts of different flammable liquids to find the safest and most effective. Additionally for some of the filming we made use of the zoom function on the camera, this way we didn’t have to as close to a naked flame; however we didn’t zoom too much since this would have compromised the quality of film.



We also had to careful to keep clear during the scenes with vehicles driving in and to make sure the platforms we used for our high angle shots such as the back of the truck and the first few steps of a ladder were stable and secure.
