B&C- Contingency Plan and sketches for SFX


Below is the contingency plan for when we are filming the shots.

Crew Absence - If a member of the crew happens to be absent on the day of filming then a crew member of a similar role will take their place. For example, 1st AD and Director can be interchangeable if the need arises as well as Art Director and SFX co-coordinator.

Raining - If it is raining on the day of shooting then we can either move all the equipment indoors permanently or cover up the equipment to avoid potential problems.

Footage Corruption - Have back ups of all footage filmed saved on a hard drive in case of computer crashing or corrupted footage.

On Set Injury - Follow the risk assessment accordingly and follow the necessary steps to prevent this.


Below is the pictures for the planes of the SFX and each step for making the cut in the finger using SFX equipment.









Below is some drawings of different point of views such as the finger point of view and the knife's point of view. The first drawing is the placing of the hand and the knife on the box and the next two is the sequence of the knife cutting the finger of Sam which is the character  in the pov of the knife and the final picture is the finger pov.

H- Legal and Ethical

LEGAL


Issue


Solved or justified?




The watershed




As in the SFX in this short movie is quite graphic we need to remember to show this to either an audience with a discretion or even show it after 9pm as the cut is quite graphic. Protecting children from harmful material on TV and radio is one of Ofcom’s most important duties.” This is what Ofcom says about the 9pm watershed, this would be highly advised because we could be breaching legal issues which wouldn’t be very clever of us.



Filming People



There are several rights which apply to the use of a person’s image which filmmakers should consider, particularly when filming in the street within London or the UK. Read our guide to find out more about privacy, data protection, defamation, consent and practical tips for filmmakers. To make this know to the public that we are recording we will have people in hi vis jackets around the set, and if people walk past we shall ask them if they don’t mind us using their image in our short film.


Filming Buildings




There are various legal issues to consider when filming buildings in London and the UK. Read our guide to find out about trademarks and logos, defamation, passing off, light displays, iconic buildings, and practical tips for filmmakers shooting buildings.


ETHICAL


Issue


Solved or justified?



Promoting self harm?


We want the cut in the movie to be an accident not intentional if the film comes across as the actor deliberately cutting themselves we could be giving the wrong Image to our film and could have viewers very unhappy. To avoid this we shall make the actor unaware of what is about to happen so it looks like an accident and not intentional.



Could offend a person



In this film we wish to show the effect of accidently cutting your finger, however some people might be offended by this maybe because of the graphic content of the cut or other reasons. To solve this we will put a disclaimer before showing it to anyone so they know what they are about to watch.





I&J-Health and Safety for my role





Working Time and Stress
Long working hours and lack of sleep can cause errors and accidents, stress and fatigue. For people's safety no-one should work more than 12 hours a day. You are allowed to have rest breaks, and during a week you should only work a maximum of 48 hours.By law you are entitled to rest breaks and some of those breaks include daily breaks which are at least 11 hours, weekly breaks which are at least 35 hours, or a fortnightly break of at least 59 hours, a maximum average working week of 48 hours. However you can work more if you wish to.

Sound Recordist
Take short breaks for 5 minutes every 30 minutes, do stretches and exercises for arms as they can start to ache after holding the sound equipment for a long period of time. Hold the mic in a position where you can still hold it with one arm whilst resting the other when it gets tired.

Computers
 If you have two screens to work with then you are recommended to have them at different distances so your eyes re focus. Have regular breaks as looking at a screen for too long can affect your eyes.
Some things that the BECTU card that I found say things like:

  • adjust your chair and monitor height.
  • avoid twisting, stooping or slouching postures.
  • use a footrest if necessary.
  • consider wrist rests to keep wrists horizontal and reduce arm strain.
Working on set 

Do not take any type of liquid on set as it could damage the equipment that are being used such as sound equipment, camera equipment and other things like clapper boards. Also do not allow the liquid near wires or plugs as there could be some people or equipment that could be harmed.
