| We are filming in Will’s bedroom. The room will be stereotypically boyish and messy, and so there will be objects on the floor. We have to use lights in order to get the composition correct. We have to use tools in order to take our robots apart when needed for certain bits of the film. | There will be objects on the floor and so they will be a hazard, as we will have to make sure people don’t trip over the objects. The lights may get hot and so we must watch out for hazards of burning ourselves and danger of fire, if the lights get over heated. We must ensure no one is hurt when taking sharp objects apart and using sharp tools. | Concentrate when moving around the room in order to prevent a hazard and make sure everyone involved with the filming is aware of the objects on the floor. We will ensure that lighting is not left on when not needed in order to prevent over heating and ensure people are aware that the lights are hot and that they must not be touched when on. We will have one person in charge of taking the robots apart and using the tools in order to minimise the risk of people getting hurt | 1 1 1 | 2 2 4 | 3 2 6 | We could make sure that there are no objects on the floor where we will need to stand in order to make it easy for us to film. Instead of using spotlights we could use ceiling lights in order to get more light in the room, which will make this safer. We will ensure sharp objects are put away safely when not needed. | H.J.T H.J.T H.J.T | 1/12/09 1/12/09 1/12/09 | Helen Thurstan Helen Thurstan Helen Thurstan |
