We encountered many health and safety risks, which we had to overcome and avoid. Our first set of footage was based inside the house and everything was fine for us to proceed.
1. After leaving the house we had to ensure that filming any running shots had to been done with extreme care because our main character could trip on any logs, sticks or bushes. We checked the area and it was ok for us to continue. Along with our main characters falling hazards, Samuel, who was filming had to ride a bike whilst filming to catch the perfect shot. We overcome any crashing hazard by also checking the area and taking slow precautions when riding.
2. A high angle walking shot was took in the park which caused a health and safety risk because Samuel had to extend the legs of the tripod and hold it above his head to gain this shot. He could of dropped this and broke our expensive equipment, plus hurt himself. So we decided to walk slower to gain more control over the camera.
3. By the road our main risk was getting run over. As Jack approached the road as we were filming, he simply just stopped and waited for a large gap to walk across the road to make it safe to cross. We couldn't press the pedestrian button because it wouldn't of set the scene for our setting because the traffic lights can be seen. Also, filming this high angle shot was hard, due to there not being anywhere to place the camera but luckily we found a place but it was windy. This once again created the problem of damaging the equipment, so Samuel had to hold it in place for it not to fall.
4. Next, we started to film over Bedfords Park and it had began to rain causing us the problem of all our electrical equipment getting wet. Luckily, Jack had the idea of cello-taping a Pirates of the Caribbean umbrella to the tripod, which surprisingly protected the camera perfectly. We had to change camera lens' with extreme care also.
5. Our main health and safety risk was taking a replica metal gun into the public whilst filming. Fortunately, we had no problems with having it out as we were filming but we would of said it was purely for media purposes.
