Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’	Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm	Remote  e.g. <1 in 1000 chance	Very unlikely  e.g. 1 in 200 chance	Unlikely  e.g. 1 in 50 chance	Possible   e.g. 1 in 10 chance	Likely  e.g. >1 in 3 chance
Negligible e.g. small bruise		X
Slight e.g. small cut, deep bruise	X
Moderate e.g. deep cut, torn muscle	X
Severe e.g. fracture, loss of consciousness	X

Risk Assessment Form – Part B

 

Activity1 – Each individual activity you are proposing:			Location – where this activity will take place:  studio	Dates / times:
Hazards2  List what could cause harm from this activity   e.g. falls from height, trip hazard, fire, etc.	Who exposed  List who might be harmed from this activity  e.g. staff, contractors, contributors, public, etc.	Risk3  For each hazard, decide level of risk as if you were to do the activity without your controls	Control measures  For each hazard, list the measures you will be taking to minimise the risk identified  e.g. appointing competent persons, training received, planning and rehearsals, use of personal protective equipment, provision of first aid, etc.	Risk3  For each hazard, decide level of risk once all your controls are in place
E.g., Hot working environment	Presenter, camera crew, lighting crew, director		Airconditioning, keep doors/ windows open, have regular breaks
E.g. Object falling, moving or flying	Presenter, camera crew, lighting crew, director		Cameras, lights and other equipment should be stationary when recording,
E.g. Obstruction / exposed feature	Presenter, camera crew, lighting crew, director
E.g. Sharp object / material	Camera crew, lighting crew
E.g. Lack of oxygen
E.g. Physical fatigue	Presenter		Take regular breaks, use a chair when presenting if needed

The first place that comes to mind when it comes to locations is the studio, as it features great lighting, tons of space. Along with warmth, which although sounds like a rather strange reasoning, I find it to be important as it helps with maintain focus within the photoshoot. Different forms of lighting and a greenscreen, which allows for easier editing when it comes to the print advert, as cutting out certain things to replace the background is easier. Another location is behind the art department building, which provides the massive area of open space with the field, along with the privacy of the building covering you, which hopefully allows for less disruption, another factor that the studio benefits from. The other is at home, which allows for privacy and depending on the location it has good lighting however because of the location not being on campus it makes it harder if you wish to have other people be in your advert that aren’t from your household. ​

Pre production location scout from LeviPhillips5

Due to the circumstances caused by COVID, things had to be changed in order to fulfill the lock-down regulations, things such as working at home, which has definitely brought a change to my original plans, therefore filming from my home became the new location, which got rid of several risks that were brought by working in the studio, different equipment also had to be used, this has been made clear within my work by the presentation of the location of equipment, the ones shown at home became my new equipment for producing my documentary. This is due to the fact the equipment at college became too difficult to attain and alternative solutions had to be made, in order to overcome this hardship. Using equipment such as my webcam and openshot as an editing software, in the stead of the original equipment.
