Health and Safety Concerns

Health and Safety

  • George was the owner of the house at the location we were shooting, so we were granted permission to take photographs and film there
  • All of our equipment will be safe as we have all used tripods and cameras before and have practised using them. The equipment we will use is not heavy so will not cause any damage. We also will mainly use natural lighting so there will be little need for electricals, except perhaps a single mains light over the table



  • Using a lot of DSE (display screen equipment), we have to be careful not to use them for long periods of time as this can lead to the possibility of wrist and eye strain.

  • We also need to be aware of the Lake which we are shooting at, which could be dangerous as we filming in close proximity to it, so will need to be wary of falling in.


  • When hanging the noose in the right position we will need to use a platform to reach the height of the branch that we need, so it is important to avoid any back strain, and be aware of our balance. We will have several people surrounding the person who is positioning the noose.
