Hazards
The guitar has strings on it that could potentially snap and recoil at our actor, strings are sharp when they snap so this could cause an injury to our actors arms or face. To prevent this we must be cautious when using the guitar and take it easy when strumming the strings.

The lights heat up a lot when they are being used so it is important to keep away from them whilst they are in use. They would also fall which could injure our actor from impact or could drop and smash making a particular area dangerous to be around because of small pieces of glass that could cut someone.

Around the building we are going to use there are socket grids on the floor which we must be cautious of. This is because sometimes they can stick out of the ground meaning that they are a trip hazard. We must be cautious when we are around them to make sure that nobody falls on them.

The weather could also be a hazard for us. This is because we are doing a lot of our filming outside and if it has rained then surfaces would become slippery. If this happens then we will have to be more cautious when we are filming to make sure that we do not have any injuries.

Wires are a hazard because in some of the indoor locations that we are using there could be trailing wires about which would be a potential trip hazard. Unless wires can be moved to a more safe area then we will have to ensure that we are all aware of where the wires are so that nobody trips over them.

If we are all aware of these risks and hazards then we will be able to avoid injuries and be more successful with our filming.
