TOP 3 RISKS IDENTIFIED ON LOCATION

(N.B. this does not replace the Risk Assessment form which must be carried out for any practical project)

Could trip over bags if they are placed on the floor.

Could trip over equipment.

Someone could be hit by the door when it’s opened.

Describe the aesthetics of the location (e.g. Describe the potential camera shots or describe the acoustic value of the location)

It is a standard classroom with computers and a book shelf/cart in shot, anchoring the theme of the documentary and
making it more relatable to the target audience. The room has large windows, so there will be a lot of natural light and this
will primarily serve as the interview shoot because the aesthetics are plain and clean, meaning it isn’t distracting and people
are focusing on the books in the background instead. Most shots will be mid shots that utilise the rule of thirds.
