The main location for the shoot would be Alex's car - he will be presenting segments whilst driving and also interviewing his friend who is learning to drive. Before completing the risk assessment for this location we had to read the health and safety checklist for filming in vehicles. Once this had been read, I could do the risk assessment for Alex's car.
I had to amend the risk assessment slightly, insuring that no handheld footage would be shot while the vehicle was moving. The tripod would be secured in place in the car at all times when filming.
I did a location recce of Eastgate Events Venue - where the interview with the insurance broker would take place. This enabled me to see if there would be any trip hazards or any other hazard that could damage any equipment or injure any people. I also explored the location to see where exactly would work best for the interview. I concluded that the room in front of the car park would be best. This room has big windows that can see out into the car park (and as our documentary is centred around driving, I thought this would be a very good idea).
The room would be emptied before use so there would be no trip hazards. The location also didn't block any fire escapes. We also knew we wanted to get some GVs of Alex driving around, we thought that the grounds of Eastgate Events Venue would also be suitable for this. This would mean there would be some extra hazards (i.e. moving cars, uneven ground, kerbs, loose pavement) but we would plan out any movement with the camera before filming to ensure none of these hazards would be a problem.
The risk assessments were signed by myself and Helen and handed in to Ferg. We now have all the necessary equipment to film our documentary. We will be shooting from the 1st May until the 5th May.
