Planning and Development: Risk assessment and legality

(Dan wrote this post)

Risk	Level of risk	How to avoid it
Someone could receive an illness from the cold	Medium	Wear appropriate clothing when filming on the track
Getting hit by the car we are filming in whilst it is going round the track	Low	Be conscious of the car going round the track at all times
Our main actor could have an allergic reaction to the make-up we put on his face	Low	Make sure we plan ahead and try this out before the day of filming
Our driver could crash the car whilst filming	Low	Don’t drive too quickly
Falling over whilst carrying equipment	Medium	Be sensible

Legality

For our filming we are probably going to take most of our shots on the Silverstone track, the head of the school has arranged with the leaders of Silverstone about letting us use the track for filming so we don’t need direct permission from Silverstone themselves.

For one of our shots we will use a residential area, this will involve capturing shots of people’s housing. To ensure that they don’t think anything suspicious is going on we will inform the neighbours beforehand.
