When we first visited the location of our thriller opening we realised that there were a significant amount of risks that could be encountered for actors and ourselves during the filming process. The location of our thirller opening is in a forest, therefore, we had to make sure the path in the forest that we was going to use was clear of: large branches, tree roots, large stones/rocks, and we had to be aware of any mud and the shallow river that was near by.
The river could be of potential danger due to it having a steep river bank that in some places is well hidden by forestry. The river is only shallow and has a hard concrete and stone river bed and could be of serious harm if someone was to fall. In order to make sure that our actors and ourselves will be safe during filming and away from any risks, we are going to use a pathway further down away from the river.
Also, when we first visited the location we found that certain areas of the forest was muddy and impractical to walk or run through and if attempted to would cause a loss of balance due to feet sinking in the mud quickly. Due to the mud being so bad we decided on a hard, solid surface to use as our path which we film the running on. Using a flat, solid pathway is the safer option to use due to us being able to clearly see any obstacles that could be of potential danger to the actor running and minimalising the risk of a fall or an injury.
Also, in the film we wanted to have 'Alice' in a tree. We found that most trees were even un- safe and would not be able to hold any weight, or were to high from the ground and could have caused a serious injury. We eventually found a tree that was close to the ground, had an enclosed front to prevent 'Alice' from falling and was stable and strong enough to withhold any additional weight.
On the day of filming we stuck to all locations that we believed to be safe and that were not going to cause any danger or injury to ourselves and the actors involved.
