Health and Safety

Things We Need to Consider

Location

Due to using a road it is essential for us to be aware and also respectful of other drivers. We cannot block the road and have to have the ability to quickly move the car if a car wishes to past. We must also leave the hazard lights on when dark so we are easily visible.

Cast
Due to it being an emotional trailer we need to keep the mental state of our cast well. We cannot expose them to emotional harm.We therefore have chosen a mature cast who know of the themes of the trailer and are comfortable with it. They also have had no traumatic traffic incidents and therefore no emotional distress will be caused.


Props

Due to the idea of youth culture and intoxication being highly present we are having cigarettes,drugs and alcohol present as props. However we have found safe substitutes so not to break the law and not expose our cast to things they may feel uncomfortable with . We will use empty bottles and pour away the alcohol, or use water to display vodka and juice to display wine. We will use herbal cigarettes which have no health effects, but we will also not allow our cast members to inhale the smoke and to portray cocaine we are using flour.


Car Crash

Due to our car crash being such an essential scene and our climax we need to make it are realistic as possible, however we do not actually want to crash. Our cast are all wearing seat belts, we have airbags installed, we are stopping considerably before the tree so to create the illusion of a crash but not put anyone at risk. We are using toy gas canisters so to not release harmful gas and using sugar glass which cannot cause harm.

Party Scene
No drugs nor alcohol are real. We will also keep our cast and extras hydrated and give them suitable breaks. They will also be advised to wear warm clothing due to it being shot outside to prevent hypothermia.
