Risk assessment summary

As you can see from Jack's post in regards to the risk assessment we have identified many of the risks that come with the certain locations that we are thinking of filming in. We have also worked out the levels of risk that are involved in our ideas. This is important as it gives us a base idea of how much concentration that we need for when we are filming and also reminds us of the dangers and risks that are involved in our filming ideas. We will now be wary of these different hazards when filming and be throughly observant of the risk assessment that Jack has created when filming.

Dealing with the weather shouldn't be an issue as we can easily look at the weather forecast. Though its not always entirely correct, from it we will be able to decide to film outside on the days where the weather is supposed to be good. As you can see from the sheet the area that we believe will be the highest risk is when using one of the group members cars. This is due to driving a car needing a lot of concentration and any mistake could lead to either damage of the equipment or something more serious.

Final Idea

Acting research

We need one actor to play the role as the main protagonist. This is because our group does not consist of anybody who deems themselves to be good enough at acting to play the main character. We will want someone who will be around our age, the same gender and who we know we can trust and rely upon to turn up and act to a good enough standard. As we are looking for someone who can act to a good standard we preferably want someone who has done drama at either GCSE or a-level. It will also be better if we knew the person who we need to act as this way it will be easier to trust and rely upon that person.
We also may need a few extras in some scenes, such as when the main character is at school and getting paper thrown at him by fellow students.

We may use Nicholas Baldwin as an actor for our film (above). Nicholas was in my group last year and did a reasonably good job at acting for my group, even though he could't attend the main filming for unknown reasons. 

We may also use: Myself

Conor Ellis

Adrian von Enckevort

Ghazi Cader

Jake Fitzgerald

Location Research

Our first location is Ruddlesway, this is where we will be doing most of our outdoor shots. It is the ideal as traffic is low, however it is below a flight path so this can interrupt our filming as the camera will pick up these noises. This is also a good location for one of our scenes as it will have less cars on the road and as we are having a driving scene, so the less cars the less risk.

This is the house we will be using, the reason we are using it is that it will have most of the props we need will be here but there is a problem as it is on busy street ,so to avoid this we will have to try to film during.

The last location is our school, this is a great location as it is easy access and also add realism to our film, the only problem is we can't use it on weekend and obviously in week days it will be filled with students who will most likely ruin the shots.

Location research

Windsor is a town located in the county Berkshire and is a largely historic town which has the largest Castle in the world, that is still used today by the Royal family.

We have made sure that all our locations are in Windsor as that is where all the members of our group live so it will make it a lot easier for all of us to be able to film when needed. We also believe that there are enough things to do in Windsor that will contribute to our bucket list ideas. We have noticed that most people who are in our sort of position in doing short films for A2 seem to choose in doing their film locally as it does make it a lot easier to know how and where you will film.

Location Research

For outside shots we will be filming down Ruddlesway, Windsor. This road is perfect because it isn't busy and it isn't under the flight path. It is also a location we can all get to easily. The only risk here is the traffic even though it is low.

The other location is Jack's house. The shots taken here will be all of the inside shots. The area is low risk and is again easy for all of the crew to get to.

A third location which we may use depending on if we chose to follow that narrative is our School. It is easy to get to and we can easily get to school.
