Pre-production: Health and safety

9) A list of health and safety issues I have identified and details about what steps I have taken to minimise these / address them / keep ourselves safe.


The scene in the woods when our actress is shot the contents that we make the blood on her shirt must be ingredient that is safe to inhale during the shoot and that it doesn't cause any irritation to the skin. To do this we must research the safety of the contents we mix.
Another scene in the woos we must ensure the safety of the actress and actor when are running from each other that we mark on the ground and choreograph how they travel between the woods so they do not trip and bump into trees. This could cause fatal injuries to their head or body.
The weather plays an important health risk considering we are shooting sometimes in cold conditions, therefore, we will provide our actors and crew behind the camera to come in warm clothing like weather proofs jackets in case of rain delaying our filming. We can ensure that everyone would be suitably dressed for whatever weather conditions.
The accidental shooting in the forest we have our actress Hannah tied to a tree before she is shot, so the rope that will be tied around her hands behind her will not be tight/ tied properly. To avoid limiting the circulation of her blood during the scene, once we got the panning shot around the tree with her arms tied the rest of the filming will be shot with the ropes off her. Instead she poses with her arms free around the tree to avoid all health scares for our actors.
As we draw closer to the end of our filming we continue to adopt these health and safety checks, but I will add any additional things if anything important that requires new rules or establishments to ensure good health and safety.
