Health and Safety Assessment
Health and Safety Assessment
Preliminary task
During filming there are many small things that could happen and lead to greater problems such as slips trips and falls, these can occur when you try to film in improper conditions and rush the actor/cameraman. To avoid any injuries we took precautions like making sure we had plenty of time to film and edit the preliminary task so we were in no hurry and didn't have to take any risks or shortcuts this also meant we got a better end result as the actors had very little pressure and when it came to editing we had plenty of time to see what worked and put it together nice and smoothly.
When filming we didn't just have to worry about the actors getting injured we had to make sure the cameraman was not hurt as she had to focus mainly on the camera and the actors, to prevent her from injury we filmed on carpet to reduce the chance of her slipping on something wet and gave her plenty of room during shots so she didn't walk,get hit by doors trip etc.
As we filmed in school we are covered by public liability insurance as the school is a council building.We went to the location we were going to film at to look for any health and safety problems prior to filming .The only health and safety concern we encountered was that the room was messy and that people could easily trip so before filming we had a quick clean up.

Logo Background info
To create my company logo I had to take many features into account such as symbols, colours, words, fonts, shapes, creativity, clarity and boldness. A good combination of all of these would lead to a good company logo although mine may not be the best logo in the world I have tried my best to include all of these features of a good logo.
For a good logo you need to have symbols or some form of symbolism for this I have used the the the darkness beneath the diver to symbolise the unknown, with the diver going from light to dark it shows him going from the familiar to the unknown.
Colours are not a necessity in your logo although they help to put across a message and help your logo look better in my logo the dark blues and blacks represent the deep and unknown lying in the depths and the lighter blues symbolise the diver leaving the safe and familiar brightness as he descends into the unknown.
Pretty much every brand is going to need words wether its in the name or the slogan. I chose the name "beneath the reef productions" as I felt it had a nice ring to it and it fit in really well with my first logo idea of sharks as sharks represent and symbolise power and fear.
For my logo I felt that the font was really important as it puts across a certain message to the audience and helps to define my logo I would like for my brand to be recognised just by the font or for people to see a similar font and think of " beneath the reef productions "
Shapes aren't a big thing in my logo as they didn't really fit in with the design I was going for but if I was going to include shapes I would have used interlinked circles to represent strength and unity .
For my logo I had to be creative and find the right combination of words and images to really sell it to the audience after a few attempts such as "under the waves productions" and "into the abyss productions" i settled with "beneath the reef productions" as I felt that it was the best of the three.
In conclusion to accomplish my aims in creating a good logo I have done my best you use all of the features that when combined properly to create a good logo.I feel that the combination of colours and the uncommon font will help make my logo stand out from the rest and be memorable to the audience .

Statement of intent
Hi I'm Billy and this is my blog I'm 17 years old and this is my first time doing media as I didn't do it at a gcse level. I work part time in Iceland ,have two younger brothers (Charlie and Joe) and a Labrador called dexter. I wanted to do media studies as I liked the idea of it and it linked in nicely with another of my choices; drama.
