It is always important on a film shoot to ensure every hazard is taken into consideration and everybody on set behaves according to their role. Below are a few examples of times on our shoot where is was important we followed safe working practices.
Another example of when we followed safe working practices would be shooting in the dark, as we required a blackout of the Kent College film and media room for the shot this required the area to be pitch black during filming, as the light switch to trigger the blackout was on the other side of the room however this presented a health and safety issue if anyone were to, for any reason need to walk around the room. We fixed this however by having a diffused light to the side of the set that could be turned off at ease and was in the same area as we were shooting, meaning no worry for injury. Below is an image of the lamp we used for this as well as a frame of the scene in the blacked out room.
Another example would be the final scene where the guy in the box pushes out and the frame turns bright, to do this safely we had to be careful, as the box was not in fact a box but a series of cardboard panels stood up so we could still film from outside of the box looking inwards. When it came to pushing the top panel off this could have very easily led all of the panels to fall, slowing production and at worst, lightly hurting the actor. To move around this we placed tape on the side of the box to ensure they would remain upright when pushed in the process of moving the top panel off. This results in a slick shot which ended our film nicely. Below is a frame from that scene.
