Health and Safety

When filming we discovered many more hazards than we first anticipated. For example we wanted to film an actor walking towards camera with the camera moving back with him. We realised the this would be hard for the person filming as they wold have to walk backwards blind unable to see obstacles. We over-came this hazard by making sure when we do these shots that we always have one other member of our group guiding the person filming.




Another Hazard encountered was when crossing roads we didn't want to ruin shots by waiting for ages for cars to pass, this problem caused a few close shaves with cars. There was no real way to overcome this problem as we couldn't stop the traffic, we just learned that we'd have wait for the shot and that getting run-over was not worth it.
