Before we start filming we have to think about the safety of both our actors and ourselves. Although they might seem like obvious things we still have to think about them to make sure everyone is safe and our filming runs smoothly.
As we are filming some aspects of our film outside by a road we have to be really careful about cars on the road as we may not be concentrating hard enough on the road as our priority will be our film so we will just make sure we are always keeping a look out and consider using a street we know will be quiet like down a cul-de-sac and try to film these scenes at a time that roads will be quiet like in the morning after the school run and commuting times. This will also reduce noise pollution in our film.
We will potentially be using at least one actor under the age of 18 so we need to make sure we get consent forms signed by their gaurdian under the child protection act as we need permission from an adult to let us film someone under 18. Without these we won't be able to film that person. We may also have an actor over the age of 18, we will need consent forms from them too but for a different reason, there is a chance that once filming is over an actor might not like the film or just change their mind and say they dont want the footage of them to be used or that they didnt give consent in the first place. If we have the consent form its like proof that they did give consent and that they dont have the right to withdraw content. This is all explained on the consent form so when the person signs it they have given informed consent.
We are using a lot of equipment that w have to be really careful with. We have to position cameras, tripods, dollys and cables really carefully to ensure no one would walk into them and hurt themselves, we will have to make sure everyone is aware of what equipment is where.
