Control Measure

\\

To be aware of surroundings, and

make sure shooting is more out of
the away to avoid this possibility.

\\

I will fully explain to the actor the

process, in detail how I will do it and
how it works. They will also consent
to it, however if they need a break
they can do this to relieve stress.
\\

In one of the scenes there will be a

camp fire, however it will be
controlled and supervised by adults.
Everyone will be aware of the fire
and will keep a reasonable distance.
It will be in an open space to prevent
the fire catching.

22

Actor

Dust/powder could
get in eyes and
agitate actor. Could
cause a reaction and
irritation.

Actor

Night operation,
there is a risk
someone cant see
properly and trips
over.
Smoking, no real
smoking. Vape pen
will be used could
cough/choke. Also
smoke bomb, this will
let off lots of smoke
possibly harm
wildlife.
Water, the actor
could possibly fall
into pond. This could
lead to further risks
as drowning.

\\

Will be checked over the powder is

fine to use on skin, as is designed for
that. Powder will be avoided thrown
in direction of eyes to prevent this,
however powder can be used this
way. Water will be on set just in case
rinsing in the eye needs to be done.
To avoid this from happening torches
will be provided.

\\

Actor will have common use of vape

pen and knows how to use it well,
and correctly. Will be done further
away from the wildlife, more in the
centre away from the trees.

\\

The actor will be fully aware of

surroundings, also wont be done too
close to prevent from slipping.
Enough distance from pond to actor.
