Health and Safety: Charlotte

Health and safety issues are very important to consider when filming our opening sequence, we need to ensure that we are all safe and understand the risks of harm if misused certain props. For example, when using the noose we needed to make sure that we do not phsically put it around someones neck tight or from a height, this would put a person in risk of breaking there neck. To overcome this, we put the noose over the head and not the neck. As we were working in a forest, we made sure that we were close to civilization so that if anything went wrong we could run to nearby people or houses. We had to take responsibility for the camera, tripod props used such as face paints, if face paints were to go in someone's eye or swallowed a doctor should be consulted immediately.
