For health and safety, we have ensure that we contacted the police to inform them about where we will be filming for the day, because where we are filming is a residential are and the resident may be concern with the noise and the screaming that may accrued. In addition as its winter we will be wearing warm and comfortable clothing and also warm so that none of our crewmembers' get sick.

The way we will stay safe is to look at each shooting set up or location individually and think of what exactly could go wrong. This is called a risk assessment.

It's a three-step process:

Identify all the hazards
Evaluate the risks
Identify measures to control the risks

We will put in place safeguards to eliminate or minimise risk. We will make a record of any risk assessment to ensure that we are clear on how to stay safe. This can save time during our shoot. Rules about listening to each other, respecting a chain of command, looking after equipment properly, and not rushing, will all help to keep each other safe and happy.

As we are filming outside all day, it is essential to make sure the crew are dressed appropriately. A lot of the time we may be standing around and everyone will get cold very quickly even in what seems quite mild weather. Layers of clothes are best, and get everyone to bring a waterproof and a woolly hat - they keep out wind as well as rain and are invaluable.
