Risk Assessment

A risk assessment (or recce, pronounced ‘recky’) is the pre-production visit to a location before filming or recording can begin.  During the visit any issues concerned with camera angles, lighting and acoustic details can be checked out.  Any health and safety considerations can also be look at so that they can be considered when looking at the viability of a location.  Photographs may be taken to be used in the planning of the shoot so that the time can be saved during the actual shoot.

The recce will also look at the accessibility of the location, allowing the planning of the logistics to begin.
