Health and Safety

Health and Safety

This is majorly important in what ever you are doing but even more so when you are filming as there are numerous incidents that can occur:
When holding the camera the holder might not pay attention and trip especially on uneven ground
Actors must be very careful with props as in an example you are using a knife as a prop you must always put it down when you are not using it and you must never run with as you could easily trip and cause harm.

Our opening is being shot in a wood so there are few hazards we must take note of:
- The ground is going to be very uneven especially with the small streams that run through it and the large amount of branches and stumps sticking out of the ground which could trip an actor or anyone else up.
-         In a wood at the time of filming a large amount of logging is going to occur so we must stay away from areas that are being logged.
-         We must also make sure we have a first aid kit with us in case someone sustains an injury.

Blasphemy props

There are only a few props needed for this shot as this is set in a wood so we have no need for electrical appliances like Laptops, lights or televisions.
We will need a few low tech items:
A large tree branch – This will be used to kill the Antagonist
A small handbag – This will be carried by the woman
Bible – This will be shown being burnt triggering the credits

Because they are relatively low tech they will be easy to get a hold of especially the large tree branch as we will be set in a wood and I believe we will have plenty to choose from.

Blasphemy costume ideas

The woman (played by Leah Tamplin) – White shirt, unbuttoned, dirty, ripped, over a leather jacket of a female gang, ripped jeans with boots. The woman is supposed to look really tough and menacing especially when she confronts the Antagonist and she defeats him.

The main Antagonist (played by James Dench) – Black smart trousers, with a black t-shirt, underneath a black jacket that is to be closed. He is supposed to look smart or a being from a wealthy background but also the black represents the evil that he is and how cruel and malicious he really is.
