New Risk assessment

Action Carried Out
Risk
How this can be prevented or changed
Filming the first shot of the opening scene.
The fence in the back garden which can cause injury on the fall down or even getting cut from the wood. There was also on one side thrown bushes, could also be sharp objects in the bushes which could cause cuts.
Placing a mat at the bottom of the fence. This can be resolved by cutting certain areas to prevent these and using common sense
Lighting up the inside
The inside is dark which could cause picture quality problems as the camera may not be able to pick up low lighting
Using a reflector to reflect light from a lamp in the room helps bring light for the camera for a better picture quality
Props and Clothing
If the clothes are baggy the clothes could catch on something and cause an accident 
Get actors to wear tight clothes to prevent this happening.
Incense stick
The stick could fall off and cause injury by heat
Not lighting the stick or placing it away from the actors
Cat
The cats walking all over the place from garden to house and maybe they could trip up
Placing the cats out of the way
Bread Knife
The Knife could maybe cut someone.
If someone gets cut get plasters and we could cut the bread before the filming

Unfinished


After all the problems that we have had with the construction of our final piece we finally got back on track, although its a little bit behnind the rest of the class. The venue for our filming was changed to Luis's house due to a lack of comunication which happened between the resturant and our group. This is the last draft before we should have finished the openning all together.

Although we have improved greatly in our filming techneques, there are still some problems which came up and were spotted after we had finished editting. The first main problem is the continuity break within Zygi's hood. This because when he walks into the french doors he has his hood up, but when he comes through the door from the shot of inside the livingroom his hood is down. Then when he leaves and is outside the house once again his hood appears to be up, this breaks the contunity rule.
Another problem is the timer on the CCTV as throughout the openning the timer is in sync, but when the shot moves away from the CCTV inside and jumps to a point of view shot then to the CCTV outside the timer had gone back in time once again breaking the continuity rule.
There is once again another problem aswell. We were unable to add any sound into the opeening at this time but when we go back and edit the openning we should be able to correct this and post the final production on youtube before our deadline.

Once we have corrected these problems and made sure Zygi keeps his hood either up or down we shoulod be finished and can start to evaluate our product.

Risk Assessment

Action Carried Out
Risk
How this can be prevented or changed
Filming the first shot of the opening scene.
The weather being different than forecast (snow) or a reflection in the windows which shows the film crew in the background from the windows.
Check the weather consistently and if the weather was to change, we can sweep any snow away out of the shot or break and remove any ice. We also shall angle the camera away from the door so there is not a direct reflection of the camera.
Lighting up the inside of the restaurant.
Wires on the floor causing health and safety risks. The angles of the lights may be difficult to produce and also in some cases depending on what is in the restaurant
Using proper ladders and stand if needed for the lighting and tape the wires to the floor to insure that there are no hazards of people tripping and injuring themselves.
Props and Clothing
All props and clothing may not match the theme and this would ruin the atmosphere. The clothes may also make the characters had to see in the light because of the colours used.
All clothing and props must be decided on and if this problem occurs the colours must be changed.
Glass Breaking in the shooting of the gun shot
Breaking glass would be really dangerous and this would be a health and safety hazard as someone could be cut or seriously injured.
There will be no real glass used in this shot but sugar glass alternative to resemble the smashing of real glass but with no hazard to anyone who is taking part in this scene.
Shooting of a gun inside a restaurant
The public outside of the restaurant maybe able to see into the scene while the shooting is occurring and may be distressed to see  gun being shot even though it is not a real one but a look alike. This could cause problems as a member of the public may do the correct thing and call the police although they are unknowing of what is going on. This could get our whole shot into a lot of trouble
As we are in a private place we should have no problems gaining permission to use guns on set although with this issue we will need to tell the authorities of the area of the restaurant that we are going to be using a look alike firearm to insure that there are no miss under standings and that no one is forced to waste their time.

Main production idea



This scene from "Casino Royale" can help us do our gambling scene in our main production as the light in the scene is focused in at the poker table and the main characters. We as a group hope to take the scene like this and take in for our main production.
