To ensure that we are following legislation with regards to our location choices, carrying out a risk assessment was essential. Firstly, we looked at any risks or issues that may occur at our first location; my grandma's house. After gaining permission to film there, we found that there were only a few minor issues, many of which could be solved purely by having a responsible adult on set to assist us. One of the only other issue that we found was related to the weather, which can easily be solved by making sure that we thoroughly check the weather forecasts before each day of filming, dependent on whether we plan to use any outside areas of the location.Our second risk assessment was for our other location of a local park. Again, we didn't come across any causes for concern or issues that would cause a particular risk. Although, as this is a public park, the environment of it may change from day to day due to different people visiting it who may leave any rubbish or hazards behind, so we will have to be wary that there may be different issues there when we arrive at our location. In addition, the only other problem identified was again to do with the weather. As it is currently winter, the weather will obviously be unpredictable so we will have to remember to check the forecasts in even more detail for this location as we are planning to film completely outside while we are there. Over the next week or so, I plan to begin taking photos of our first location (my grandma's house) while Charlie will be responsible for taking the photos of the local park.
