 Risk Assessments 

Before every work of a film, risk assessment is a necessary practice. 

We avoided every possible danger and action that might be harmful while writing up a script so we don't have much data for risk assessment, however, some things can be counted. 

First of all, the stairs were quite slippery especially because they were freshly mopped, so we waited for them to dry and even contacted the cleaners to delay their cleaning schedule for the day of our shooting. 

There was a scene in our film where the actor was supposed to light some candles, but because of the fact that mishandling the matches can possibly be dangerous, we decided to exclude that and use a lamp instead. 

The lamp had required us to plug it into the extension to start but putting the socket in on a working circuit holds the risk of electric shock. To prevent this, we ended up changing the lamp position a little, making a Switchboard available nearby. 

Originally, we intended for the actor to take off his shoes to emphasize his "relaxing" on the sofa, However, while running away it can be dangerous as the floor was made of marble, so we ended up having him keep his shoes on. 

When we decided on the scene where his way was blocked by the abnormality, he fell. As the floor was hard and might cause injury, we lined the floor with a cushioned rug.
