Risk Assessment: Car Scenes: Biggest Risk – We’ll be using experienced drivers all times when the car is being driven, Someone making sure cars come in safely, make sure all actors know exactly where cars come in/out, especially when filming, one person devoted to this, to make sure no accidents happen during or before filming, and all people in cars wearing seatbelts, no unsafe/illegal moves in the cars.

Jumping over fences: Minor Risk – Make sure all actors know exactly how and where they will be going and that we have someone on hand watching their approach, consult videos on how to do this.

Jumping off the motorway steps: Minor Risk – Make sure that actor is prepared and knows how to take fall. We will also place a mat where he will land to ensure least possible harm

Tackling Scene: Minor Risk – We’ll instruct the actors the movements they be performing, so nothing is improvised on the spot, and everyone during the filming process etc. Knows what is going on so people think that the drug dealer was actually tackled to the ground.

Screenplay Decisions And Editing

We used a copy of the final screenplay to make changes as we went along. We made changes to some of the camera shots and angles and dialogue options amongst other smaller changes. We also made noted onto the screenplay details of how we wanted each individual shot to be filmed to give off better effects. However the whole group afterwards decided that a digital storyboard would be more professional and be easier to use to remind ourselves of shots and scenes than reading text and deciphering from that. Our team spend one whole evening with our screenplay and took pictures using a digital camera of all the different camera shots. Along the way we came up with more different ideas and techniques that we jotted down on our screenplay and took pictures of as proof and also so we had a digital copy, which is safer than having the actual paper copy. And the storyboard was completed shortly after which can be found above.
