We are going to use this shot for when the main character comes into the house. Instead of the shot being at eye level, we will try and make the shot into more of a high angle shot which is similar to a CCTV camera as if to show the character is being watched.

For this shot, we will spread the coats out more evenly to have a coat on every hook to keep the idea that the main character has OCD. This shot will be used when the character has first entered the house and hangs up his jacket.

In this shot, the toaster will be askew and the character will straighten it, keeping consistent with the characters OCD. From this shot, we will cut to a close-up of the toaster to show the action of the character moving the toaster.

I think we might change the direction of this shot by filming from the left rather than the right. By doing this we can show the character leaning in to look at the radio when it mysteriously turns on.

This shot will be used when the characters moves from the kitchen to the dining room.

 In these two shots, there will be place mats on the table which the character will straighten.

This is where the character will move from the dining room to the living room. The character will then move around the cushions so that they are neat.

Finally, the last shot will be of the character going up the stairs. Then, there will be hand curl around the door. From there, the film title will appear.

Risk Assessment

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a document which allows everyone on the set to know what the dangers are whilst filming, how to prevent them and what to do if the risks occur.

Who uses them?

The director creates the risk assessment, with everyone involved in the shoot being aware of the risks involved, so they know with each particular shot what to watch out for, what to do if the risk happens and how to prevent the risk all together.

What do they include?

They include risks to equipment, health, these could be things to do with action, weather or set related, it then says how likely the risk is to happen and what can be done to avoid the risk.


Why do we have a risk assessment?
We have a risk assessment in order to examine the environment the film is being filmed in.  This then makes sure the director has done everything within their power to take precautions so that no one on set gets seriously injured. A risk assessment is there to instruct members of the crew and cast on how to react to situations where someone may be harmed as it also includes how to deal with risks as well as preventing them.


How important is a risk assessment when filming?
A risk assessment is very important when filming as if the assessment isn’t done, the director will get the responsibility of everyone’s health if something goes wrong. If someone is badly injured or, in extreme circumstances, fatally injured, the director will take responsibility for the accident and would face major consequences such fines or imprisonment.
