Regarding health and safety, there were only a few areas of filming which required more attention to safety. The first of which was during the first shoot, on the beach. For this shoot the camera was my priority, I kept the safety strap on at all times, and when not in use I made sure the camera was secure in the camera bag; this was to prevent sand and seawater getting anywhere near the camera and damaging it. During filming, we also had to be aware of the uneven nature of the beach, but also people on the beach itself. We tried to avoid other people as much as possible to avoid invading their space. Another note was to wear suncream and wear appropriate clothing, due to the weather being clear skies and extremely hot.
When filming in Coombe Abbey, we also had to be aware of people walking throughout the park, and kept filming to a minimum in busy areas. Additionally, we filmed near water in some shots, therefore we had to take care to stay away from the waters edge to avoid any trips and falls that could result in us ending up in the water.
The camera was on my person at all times, therefore it was safe and secure and not at risk of being taken. I did use a tripod to film inside my bedroom, but because the room is quite a confined space, we had to be careful when manoeuvring around the equipment to avoid knocking it over and damaging it.
