Health and Safety Assessment

When I was filming the dance scenes in the theatre, I made sure that all of the cast where wearing appropriate dance kit and footwear to prevent injury. I also made sure that the cast weren't wearing any jewellery whilst they were dancing to prevent items getting caught and causing injury. Before I started filming, I asked the dancers to warm up to prevent any muscle strain. I also checked the theatre floor for spillages to ensure that none of my cast slipped and hurt themselves whilst I was concentrating on filming. When it came to re-shooting some of my footage, I had to ask a certified technician to set up the theatre lighting for me, because I have not been properly trained to use the equipment. Trailing cables where not an issue however as I used a hand-held video camera to shoot the footage. On top of this I also made sure that I and my cast were aware of where the nearest fire exit was so that we could leave the building quickly in the case of an emergency. I had also booked the use of the college theatre well in advance so that staff were aware that I was using the space in case of an emergency.
