In order for everyone to be safe during the filming process we needed to consider the risks involved and how we could prevent them.
We used a swimming pool as our location for filming the underwater scenes, and therefore this involved people having to hold their breath for a long period of time, which could have lead to alterations in breathing patterns. We reduced the risks by taking regular breaks to ensure people were not out of breath.
Another hazard is that for some scenes, we filmed with a tripod, meaning there was a trip hazard. In order to prevent any injuries we made sure there was warning and reminders that people should take care when near the camera.
We also shot some scenes near a fire, which of course created a lot of dangers. We made sure that no one got too close to the fire to reduce the risks of people getting burnt or getting smoke in their eyes.
