2 January Production Monitoring

According to my schedule, this week I planned to complete my, outdoor risk assessments and contingency plans so that I would be ready to start filming. This week I was partly successful as I have completed my most of the outdoor risk assessment, - for Hartlepool skate park and Leeds skatepark, in this, I discussed how things could go wrong, such as accidents and collisions, as skateparks can get quite busy and there are a lot people doing very dangerous tricks. I may have to go back and fill out the Leeds risk assessment in more detail. I have not been able to visit all of the locations to see if they are suitable, and if they fit health and safety regulations so I will finish this next week, such as places on the street, which may be especially dangerous. I have also completed my contingency plan as there are a lot of things likely to go wrong when filming my documentary, such as not being able to film at all due to bad weather and people being injured as skateboarding is such a dangerous sport, skateboards breaking, skaters not turning up and transport to locations breaking down, when planning contingencies, I had to think of everything that could possibly go wrong, another problem might be that some skaters consume hazardous substances, my documentary will not condone this type of behaviour, however one of my aims is to give a realistic insight into the lifestyle habits of a skater.
