RISK ASSESMENT In the production of our film opening, we decided to locate our film making in a forest. In the forest there are certain risks: - slippery floors - dangers of falling objects from the trees above. - dangerous insects & animals. - the risk of getting lost. - dangerous people. In terms of weather conditions: - wind: could result in flying objects. - rain: slippery objects and surfaces and risk of damage of equipment. - clouds or fog: bad lighting. - sun: too much lighting or not adequate lighting for the type of genre. Throughout our film production, it rained, creating a mysterious effect on the film. As the film opening intensifies, there is more raing to accompany the tense situation. There were moments in which the rain made surfaces and objects slippery which we had to take into account for our safety.

In our film opening we have used background music to help create tension amongst the audience. It will also create the correct emotion for the film to apply intrigue and unease, as those the emotions expected in a horror/mystery film. Due to the wide selection of different tracks, we spent our time listening to the songs to find the perfect one. In the end, we found this track, which suited the film opening perfectly, being that it included many " crescendos ", which is a gradual increase in the loudness in the music
