Planning - Risk Assessment

There are two key scenes in which a risk assessment was crucial due to the risks involved, and these were the scenes in which India was shown to be hung and where James jumps in front of George's car.
For the hanging scene we ensured that the rope was not tied in a proper noose around India's neck and that it was in fact loose despite being made to look tight. This is important as if the noose had been tied correctly then India would have been placed in extreme danger in this scene. To further ensure her safety the rope was only dangled over a metal bar above her in order to create the hanging illusion with the other part of the rope edited out. This meant that in worst case scenario the rope would fall off of the pole, not tightening and would fall off of India's neck loosely therefore removing any danger.
For the car scene we only travelled at a low speed in order to prevent Sean (James) from being in any danger when he steps in front of George's (Joe's) moving car. We edited this effectively in a fast paced collage to make the scene look more intense and high speed however in order to maintain high safety levels the speed was kept to a minimum. If we had filmed it at a higher speed we may have misjudged the stopping distance and Sean may have become seriously injured. Removing the speed from the situation removed any threat to Sean's wellbeing.
