Today we learned about different methods of planning when it comes to film making. For example – we learned about risks and hazards. To take risks into consideration.
Risk Matrix
| Severity | ||||
| Minor | Major | Severe | ||
| Likelihood | Unlikely | Low | Low | Medium |
| Possible | Low | Medium | High | |
| Likely | Medium | High | High | |
It is very important when making a film to think ahead of where your location is and think about the potential risks and hazards.
