Tripping over wires

Consequences

this may cause serious damage to the camera and equipment as well as injuring yourself and even others.

To reduce the impacts of this we should try to ensure our filming space is clear and also there is no one in the way while filming.

if very unlucky there could possibly be objects in the way of filming such as furniture, this is also a hazard if the camera person is not aware.

We can reduce the chances of this happening by planning out how we are going to film in advance using a map of the house to make it easier for the actor/actress and most importantly the camera person.

To make sure this works we will visit our film set (the house) and plan from there, so we know how the house is set up and the appropriate safe rooms to use.

Causes

This risk is possible to occur as being in a house wires and object hanging around is very common.

To prevent this from happening we will ensure our filming space is cleared and ready for use.

To control this also using the tripod where necessary for certain shots instead of holding the camera the whole time may reduce risk.

Another backup control would be to have a director; someone else also with the camera person guiding them and supporting them while they film telling them what to do.
