Risk Assessment

There were many risks of us going up to our location to shoot.
Primarily the biggest concern was walking up the giant hill that the crater is at the top of. To begin with, this wasnt the biggest worry for Tom and I, but inevitably something had to go wrong and Qasim had a brief encounter with a horse, which prolonged our ascent because Qasim couldnt quite pick up the nerve to attempt to outrun said horse.

After finally reaching the peak, we soon realised that the main worry was the cold. Tom and Qasim werent so bad, but as I was wearing paper thin clothes as part of the Mise-en-scene, I soon became rather cold. As the filming went on, we were more and more eager to leave, which is a primary factor in us not having the extreme close ups.

On the plus side, the wind couldnt reach us because of the safety of the crater, and the location was public, so we didnt need to ask permission, but the location was just far enough away to be able to scream at the top of our lungs without being questioned about or safety or sanity.

If we do need to go up again, the best thing to do would be to take some extra coats and gloves, and possibly some horse food.
