Health And Safety

Health And Safety 

When we first was going to shoot the horror opening sequence we hand to take on board how we are going to stab the Farmer with a real knife to split the blood bag that I made for the scene. The first why I tried to make it safe was by putting cardboard behind the blood bad and taping the cardboard to the leg of the farmer which was me at the time it didn't work so I had to put the blood bag in my sock so it wouldn't fall down my leg any more, this was dangerous but I told the actor playing the Woman in the role in the film that she would have to stab my ankle as the she would feel the blood bag when it is peas but she didn't want to do it in case she might actually stab me so we had to film it from behind me so I had to stab myself to let the blood out.

The second health and safety aspect was when the Farmer is swinging the axe at the woman in the end scene of the opening title sequence. So the actor who was the Farmer had to learn how to first hold an axe, second how to swing an axe and lastly learn how to stop the axe in mid swing which was very important as we don't want to actually kill the Woman.

Another part of safety was the barn its self and what is inside it the barn like tools and machinery that could hurt us if we decided to touch things that we shouldn't be touching so every thing was switched off by the trip box. 

Ross had to tell the gate keeper that we was on the land at night to film the night shots with the Farmer chasing after the Woman with an axe, the gate keeper could of shot us.
