Health and Safety
Risk	How it was avoided
Dropping the camera in the river	Ensuring that the camera was  secured to the tripod and by holding it during filming even though it was on though it was on the tripod
Being run over when crossing the road	Looking both ways before crossing
James Sliding of the box he was sitting on	He checked that he could sit safely on it before we started filming
Damaging instruments during transportation	Carried one instrument each and two people carried out the drum kit
The camera getting damaged in the rain	Held an umbrella over it
Camera person or actor tripping over in running scene	They both wore trainers suitable for running in, they ran slowly and chose a clear path to run on
Dropping the camera during the running scene	Camera person used the strap to carry the camera around their neck
James tripping over when he was by the river	He walked fairly slowly, kept looking at the ground, kicked stones out the way and didn't cover a long distance
James or Tanaka falling in the river	They were too far away from the river to be in any danger
Getting lost during filming	We were in familiar areas
Not guarding the camera/tripod when not in use	We were always holding the equipment when we weren't filming and we weren't using the tripod we could see it and kept it right next to us
A member of the public complaining about being in the footage	Let people walk past first before filming, kept the lens cap on when we weren't filming so that people knew we weren't filming
Tripping over the tripod when its legs were extended on the ground	We looked where we were walking
Dropping the camera bag when the camera is in it	Using the strap to carry it over our shoulder
Someone waking in to the tripod	There was always one of us beside or behind it when it was set up and the tripod is quite obvious
Someone knocking over the tripod when the camera is on it	There was always one of us beside or behind it when it was set up and the tripod is quite obvious
