risk assesement for filming at the fiver

when we got to the junction the other week, the first thing we went through was the risk assesement. there were a lot of things that we couldn't do and things we had to be careful about.

we couldn't use the cherry picker to film. the reason was obvious, if anything happened the junction would get in trouble.

we were given ear plugs so that the sound of the live gig didn't affect our ears too much

if we were filming close to the stage, we were recommended to wear our headphones. the good thing about this was you could turn down the ound on the camera so the sound wasn't too overwhelming.

they recommended we had 5minute sitdowns after filming for an hour. we were on our feet all night so this was a good idea.

we couldn't spend too much time backstage while the bands were going on and off. the reason being that they were moving instruments around and there wasn't much room backstage. we would have slowed them down.

there was a specific space on stage where we could film, and it was close to the edge. while filming on stage we had to be careful and bare in mind the lack of room we had.

we didn't need to get people to sign model release forms while filming them because on the tickets it says that there might be filming or camerawork done so this wasn't an issue. anyone who buys a ticket has agreed to be filmed.
