Health and Safety

- When using a tripod with a camera, you have to make sure it has been set up correctly and everything is tightened up properly, otherwise it could fall and the camera could break. Also, you need to make sure not to trip over the legs of the tripod, as they can sometimes get in the way when filming. Also, if you are using a Boom/shotgun microphone, you have to make sure that any cables are in a place where any actors/crew won't trip over them or accidentally dislodge them from the recording device, otherwise no sound will be recorded and the shot will have to be re-taken.

-When filming on location, you must make sure there are no trip hazards or sharp objects littered around, aesthete could cause damage to crew, actors and even equipment if you are not careful, so try and make sure to clear the are of dangerous objects or anything that will obstruct your path if filming a tracking or dolly shot, as you might walk into something, trip and break the camera.

-When filming in R block, you need to make sure to clear any cluttered art student's work out of the way so it doesn't become a trip hazard, as if you trip whilst filming you could potentially completely destroy the camera.

- When filming in the studio, you need to be careful not to trip over any cables connecting to the lights, and you also need to be careful not to walk into the lights as you could injure yourself. You also need to be careful not to damage the lights by overheating or accidental physical damage, as the lights are very expensive to replace.
