Risk assessment

One of the biggest risk during our whole film process was the outdoor filming location mainly due to the extremely dark lighting. When we filmed at our outdoor location it was a road at night that wasn't very busy and was surrounded mainly by trees but there were houses behind those trees and cars did come past ever so often. One of the risks was of a car coming down the road quickly and not seeing us filming, we avoided this by making sure we were filming from the side and edge of the road and not on the road so if a car was to dangerously speed down the road we would not be in immediate danger. Another danger is if a civilian was walking past the dark road and we could not see them when we were driving in the car scenes. We avoided this danger by always having the headlights on in thecae so a civilian walking pass would be able to see us coming from a safe enough distance to react. Lastly the side road where we filmed was also extremely dark and could have led to us tripping on the curb or over something else. We avoided this by bringing lights and lanterns to put on the floor around us so we could clearly see where we were stepping. 

Another risk came from the prop gun that we used. Although obviously not a real gun but there was still danger as it was a BB gun and these BB pellets if shot at you would still extremely hurt and in some places can cause high damage to someone. It was important for us to make sure there was no pellets loaded in the gun and the safety mode was on the whole time incase one pellet was lodged inside and could've still hurt someone. Another risk that came from the gun was because we spray painted it black. This was a danger as the prop gun looked very real and even more so in the dark so it was important that the gun was always hidden unless we were using it as we don't want to scare people thinking we have a real gun which could equally have put us in danger as a result.
