Health and Safety

Editing

When editing it is important to:

• take regular breaks for around 5 minutes every half an hour
• alternate display-screen work with other work whenever possible
• do regular stretches and exercises
• have access to natural light
• be wary of electrical failures as they can overheat and cause fires

Locations

When working on location it is important to:

• be wary of the weather as rain or snow may disrupt the use of electrical equipment
• wear protective clothing suitable to that area e.g insulated coat
• be careful when working near any bodies of water as there is a risk of drowning
• have a first aid kit nearby in case of an accident
• obey any rules e.g no smoking

Equipment

When using the film equipment it is important to: 

• keep any electrical items away from liquid as they can inflict electric shocks and burns
• secure any larger stands, such as a tripod, so they are at no risk of falling over
• plan for the amount of battery life needed

Personal Safety

For our trailer I will be acting as the cannibal in the kitchen scene and providing the barn backdrop. When acting I must be careful of the knife as it may be little sharp and when applying the fake blood I must make sure I  am not allergic to any ingredients it contains or accidentally ingest any of it. Also when taking the fuel image I need to think about my surroundings and have another student with me to warn me of cars or wildlife.
