Risk Assesment

Before the shoot goes ahead i must make sure certain safety procautions are in place to make sure the people taking part in the shoot do not get injured. I will check around the area that the shoot will be based in and will make sure there is nothing around that can harm the people taking part, then when the shoot is over i must check again to make sure we have not left anything behind that could potentially danger other people.
What i searched for and what i found was wrote down on the Risk Assesment, shown below.

Contributor's Release Forms

Before the shoot could actually happen i had to find people who would want to contribute in the magazine. The people who i asked to be in the shoot firstly had to fill out a release form, giving information such as adress, phone number, name and description for contribution. I also had to give information such as my name, adress and phone number. Below is my filled out Contributors Release Form.
