Health and Safety in Audio Visual Production.

Step 1 - Looking for hazards


Don't get bogged down with trivial hazards; concentrate on those posing a significant risk of injury or harm.

Step 2 - Decide Who Might Be Harmed and How

Think about who may be affected and those who are particuarly at risk.


Step 3 - Evaluate the Risk


Consider the chance and severity of harm that each hazard may cause, taking existing control measures into account.

• avoid the risk completely; but if this is not possible
• reduce the risk to acceptable levels;
• provide training and instruction, and personal protective equipment if the risks cannot be controlled in any other way;
• reduce risk at source by developing safe systems of working, giving collective measure priority.

Step 4 - Record the Significant Findings


The siginificant findings of the risk assessment should be recorded and communicated to those people who may be affected. In practice, this means ensuring that the production team and any contractors are informed of the significant hazards, the likely risks and the required control measures. Keep a record for future reference, it will help to demonstrate compliance with legal duties. The legal requirement to record findings applies if five or more people are employed but smaller companies are recommended to record details in order to show that they have carried out risk assessment.


Step 5 - Review and Revise Your Risk Asssessment


New hazards can be introduced if there is any significant change in the activity, equipment, substances or procedures. Risk assessments should be revised following any significant change or when they become out of date. If there have been no changes, the assessment should be reviewed at least once every three years to ensure that the precautions are still working effectively.

Ancillary Text Analysis 2. (Poster)

This film poster is very conventional of what film posters actually look like. The poster mainly consists of a a black and white image containing 'The Last House on the Left' which is the main location of the central part of the film. This image relates well to the story of the film as it is a very dark and mysterious which is very much like the film as it contains scenes of rape, kidnap, torture and extreme violence. The poster also has a very dominant title which covers at least half of the poster, the word 'house' is in red and has was seems to be a blood splatter across it connoting the idea that the film consists of violence. The idea of the word being in red whilst the others are in white allows it to stand out a great deal more focusing on the idea that the film is central to the house.

Ancillary Text Analysis 1. (Poster)

This  poster is advertising the psychological horror 'The Strangers'. This is a stereotypical film poster as it consists of one main image that contains the main characters of the film, as well as the film slogan, title and the names of the two main actors within it. The colours we see in the image are all very earth like colours, non of which stand out too much producing the dark and horror like feel to the image. The fact the all the characters are in the same shot suggest the idea of being trapped as well as the brick wall located behind the antagonists. The font used for the title of the film is quite an aggressive and striking font even though it is not necessarily bold or large.
