Health and Safety

For filming we have a few health and safety concerns which we need to ensure are managed in order to film safely.

Lighting: For one scene,  we are to film in a tunnel which has low lighting, we have one light for filming which will be used to make sure that the actor being filmed is viewable on camera, this is also useful as it will help us see in the tunnel. There are many cars driving reasonably fast as it is a main road, and so extra care needs to be taken which will be able to do with the torch.


Props: In one scene we are showing an actor throwing a bottle at a wall, this requires extra precautions such as ensuring he was standing an appropriate distance away from the wall, as only his hand and the bottle are visible in the shot this should be reasonably easy to do. For a different scene a cricket bat needs to be used, we have arranged the camera angle so that the person filming won't be hurt and no contact is made between the bat and an actor.


Drugs: For obvious reasons the drug-like substance which we are to use is intended to appear like the real thing and the actress simulates the actions of taking drugs without actually doing it, as it is illegal.
