Home 1-
All breakable items were placed away from the scene so that they were not at risk of being broken and damaged because this was not my house. Secondly, if the items were broken they could have caused injury to cast and or crew members. There was a natural risk of people tripping, knocking themselves of things and so on, however we avoided these accidents by setting up the tripod, camera and making sure each scene was filmed with no rush.

Home 2-

All items were removed as the little girl was going to be in the hallway. There was a natural risk of people tripping, knocking themselves of things and so on, however we avoided these accidents by setting up the tripod, camera and making sure each scene was filmed with no rush. I had to get permission from the girls' parent to make sure she was ok to be filmed for my media project.

Bedroom 1-

As this was not my bedroom, we had to respect the owner's privacy and therefore we removed objects that would be in shot which were photographs or something similar. This also meant we had to make sure we left the room after filming how we found it. Possible risks were simple hazards such as hurting self on objects, but none of the risks were dangerous.

Kitchen 1-

Kitchen's are very dangerous because of the different utensils that are around, therefore I was sure that no other people were in the room as I was only filming a knife. Because knives are dangerous, I made sure to slowly and carefully apply the fake blood to the knife and that I was wearing safety gloves.

Grassland 1 -

There were many risks on the grassland area, such as litter, holes in ground, trees and wildlife. We made sure not to harm any wildlife during filming and that we did not affect the nature where we filmed. We also checked that no litter or other dangerous materials surrounding the area where we were filming, so that my actor and the crew were safe. Dog mess is another issue we had to check for, to make sure it wasn't in the way of filming.

Street 1 -

Similarly to grassland, the street could have had dog mess, litter or other natural hazards to harm actors or crew.  We had to watch out for cars too, but luckily we only used an alley way and a dead end road, so there were fewer cars.
