One of the most important things that needs to be taken into account when filming is Health and Safety. Being safe and preventing any harm coming to us, other actors and the equipment is priority. Because of this, there are several rules that should be followed;
1. No Filming in inappropriate locations - Filming on a building site (for example) holds too many risks for us and the equipment.
2. Check safety of locations - This is especially important for us as we use a variety of locations, including roads and busy areas.
3. Minimise risk of theft or theft of equipment - We only take things that are essential on location to minimise the risk of theft. We also film regularly with many people on location with us.
4. When filming on location, ensure teacher or responsible adult know where you are and have a telephone number and when you return.
5. Check all equipment is working before you leave - The camera is always fully charged before we leave and all equipment is checked.
6. Ensure you have permission for filming if necessary - we always get permission as we film in many locations. For example, we got permission from the library receptionist in order to film there.
7. Always film with at least one other person - we often film as a group, with people spectating. If not, it is always us two with only one of us being filmed at any one time.
8. Ensure you have permission of those you are filming - The good thing about our video is that we are the only two people that star in it for the most part, but permission is always obtained for all people being filmed.
