All crew and actors. - We only lit one cigarette throughout the whole of the filming and this was only used as an effect. The person involved was 18 years of age (Annie Haigh) and was the one who purchased and was her choice in the action. After this scene was filmed, we quickly and effectively discarded of the cigarette.

- The other cigarettes and cigars that the actors and crew had to handle were never lit and used under school premises with a teacher

Risk Assessment

watching over so there was no risk at all, and lighting of the cigarettes and cigars were ruled out.

3. Risk of tripping or falling when filming outside on location.

- We used locations such as ‘The University of Nottingham Social Club’ to film various scenes in the trailer. To get here we had to take public transport and walk to the premises. Also the characters Vivienne and Bridgette had to wear heels as part of their outfit.
