Risk Assessment
Risk Assessments are very important when filming a trailer because you need to know the potential risks so that you can avoid them and be safe. We have compiled a list of possible risks that our cast and crew would come across when filming the swede and have come up with solutions of how to avoid them, so that everyone is safe during filming.

Storyboard
A Storyboard is also very important when filming a trailer or swede, because we need to know what shots we need and how to shoot them prior to going out and filming. To be fully prepared to film our swede, we have gone through our chosen trailer and figured out how we would shoot these shots to create perfect copies. The drawings are quite rough because we already knew what we had to film as it's a Swede and we had watched the trailer countless times in preparation, however, we wanted to create the storyboard as an extra precaution so that we didn't miss anything.
