Task 5!
- 1. Shooting Schedule Date: Wednesday the 29th January 2014. Location: Nunnington Hall, Ryedale Equipment: Booked? (Y/N) DSLR Camera Y Tripod Y Memory Card Model Release forms Y Y Models: The images will be part of a collection of eight photographs that document Nunnington Hall. From Workers in the gardens preserving the National park to the workers in the shops selling local produce from farms nearby. The models used will be other people taking photographs as it is more of a documentary type of photography rather than a photojournalist approach. Props: Props used will only be that of what is found at Nunnington Hall, such as the tables and chairs found in the interior of the site. Risk assessment completed? Yes Contingency: To go into York city centre and take images of the old buildings and walls. Also as Nunnington halls staff might not be working, a contingency is put in place to take photographs of any workers in the garden industry. Should the weather effect the outcome of the photographs then it has been thought about to take the image indoors. One shoot should be enough to take the documentary images however if needed a location will be prepared for a second shoot. If the battery on the camera dies out then I will have a charger ready to get it back running and whilst waiting I will look at the location and what settings will be appropriate. If the camera does not work on the day of the trip then Thursday will be used to go to a different location of York centre and images will be taken with a different camera. If the tripod used for the photographs does not work or the spirit level is broken, I will make my body a tripod to keep the camera as still as possible to avoid any camera shake in the photographs.

- 3. Hazard Person(s) / Equipment at Risk Risk Control Taken Tripping over due to weather conditions or because of natural environment at the site. Could harm people and maybe others around. Camera falling may result in the lens being scratched or even broken. Having the strap over my head supporting the camera and making sure to look around the surroundings. Disturbing people’s privacy. People in the photographs taken may not want to be pictured. Making sure nobody is in the way of the camera when capturing an image. Also ask people if they mind or not being taken of. Touching harmful equipment (Gardening equipment) The person who may get hurt, the person responsible may be at risk of being punished and the equipment may be damaged. To not touch anything that has been left by a worker, also be aware of surroundings at all times. Darkroom exposure to chemical agents. It may lead to respiratory, allergic, and nervous system diseases. Having breaks every 15 minutes when in dark areas. Someone falling over Tripod This may lead to the person tripping over to be harmed and the tripod to potentially break. To always keep the tripod close by and not where someone can walk near it. Pedestrians/ people Me be crowded and can fall on the floor damaging equipment and others. Finding yourself lost from the others and may be harmed.

- 4. What Health and Safety legislation might you need to consider in this project? Health and safety at work act 1974. I am to consider the general duties of the students when they the care of the tutors. I will therefore look at students acting responsibly and being safe when around certain sites or equipment. To also consider the tutors (People in charge of students behaviour) and the way they should act. They should be trained to deal with certain aspects of the trip and to set an example on how to behave in the premises of a National Park. They should also know whether the location of where the students going is safe. Also instruct the students to take photographs without supervision. Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations act 1992. This may be considered when editing the images taken on the computer. Regular breaks to be taken to avoid eye problems. Control of Hazardous and health (COSHH) regulations (2002). Registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction to chemicals (REACH) both of these are used for risk assessment Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) Planned places for photographsImage of a person taking a photograph.
