In our film we will have to assess several factors which show a cause for concern in the health and safety aspect.
Risk assessment 1; our first area for a risk evaluation would be in the running scene. The actor will be recorded as he runs down the road; we would have to check the paths for hazards/obstructions. An example of a hazard could be that there is a small gathering of wet leaves on the floor which could lead to the subject slipping as he runs past. An obstruction which could be classed as a hazard could be a bin on the path.
Risk assessment 2; another aspect we will have to show precaution to, is driveways as if we are obstruction a driveway then we may receive complaints from the owner. This is also a hazard as the subject is running with his ear-phones in. If a car is reversing out their drive then it may be a blind spot and may fail to stop for the runner. Likewise, the runner may not see the car and not stop.
Risk assessment 3; others around you. This could be a risk as if you fail to see them when running you could run into them and injury them or yourself, we will take extreme care to avoid this when the runner runs past a corner or alley to make sure no-one will get hurt.
Risk assessment 4; the alleys in which I plan to run through are cobbled, uneven and have many trip hazards. I will have to take extra care and analyse where I will be stepping, also there are slip hazards from where the rain fails to drain away so it leaves a slippery surface.

Our General Storyline
Black screen with phone ringing, then see phone vibrating, Scott picks phone up and answers it, it has Michaels name appear.
Scott answers very friendly (They are both friends and colleagues) and asks about later plans together.
Michael’s in a panicked voice because his undercover state has been found out. Scott informs him he’s on his way; don’t do anything that could be classed as stupid.
Michael says don’t be stupid, I can handle it on my own. Here criminal’s voice threatens to kill him. Shows Scott on phone, and we hear what he hears, a gunshot, then silence.
Scott runs to back up Michael and on the way bumps into the stranger which later on turns out to be the killer, scoot apologises and continues running, gets to Michael, calls an ambulance and vows that he will get the criminal, if it’s the last thing he does.

New Idea
Me and Scott decided that as we are behind the deadline, we need to make a new idea so that it will be easier to film. Our new idea would only need me, Scott and one more volunteer, where as the old idea needed lots of different people to be ready at the same time. Our new idea is that there is an undercover police officer, chasing down a drug dealer, but his cover gets found out. He then gets advice from somebody back at the office, but mid phone call, there is a gun shot. The twist that would later be revealed is that Michael is the first person to actually see the criminal, as he is a very professional and well hidden drug dealer, so when Scott comes to help, he bumps into the dealer and apolaogizes for it. He then turns up to the scene to find Michael dead. He then realises that the person he bumped into was actually fleeing the crime scene, and feels bad that he missed his chance to catch him.

Script
The Compulsive Planker
Scene 1: Zoom in on clock, clock shows Tom (Scott) is late for school, he puts headphones in and we hear the music he is playing (fast paced music) and he almost reaches the school, then bumps into the bullies at his school (music stops).
Scott: (Wakes up, looks at clock, tries to sleep again, quickly realises he is late) Oh crap!
(Puts headphones in and heads for the front door, we hear the music from his headphones)
(Next few shots taken from distance, showing him quickly running to school)
(Mid-Running scenes, Scott runs into a lamp post, music put on hold and close up of Scott in pain, gets back up and starts running, when he runs, zoom in on back. He fell in dog pooh)
Bully 1: (Spots Tom running towards him) Hey guys (looking around at his friends) look at this chickhead running towards us.
Bully 2: Chick?
Bully 1: Yeah! You know, he’s a chick head, I heard you guys saying it earlier ha-ha!
Bully 2: You mean DICK, not CHICK.
Bully 1: Yeah, that does make more sense...Nice one man! (Smiles and nods at bully 2)
(Bullies block Tom’s path)
Bully 2: (Scott approaches bullies) Where do you think your going? (Chuckles at his own joke)
Ryan: Yeah! Where you going? (Also chuckles at own joke)
(Bully 1 and 2 look round at him because he is simple minded)
Scott: Well, I’m running towards the school your right in front of, I’m wearing my uniform and I have my school bag, but you’re blocking my way...so, I guess I’m going to the zoo. (Sarcastic voice) Where do you think ya pillock?
Ryan: Why are you going to the zoo? (Other bullies nod there head at him because of the stupid comment)
Bully 1: (Pins Tom against a wall) don’t get lippy! Baby boxers.
Bully 2: (laughs at the group leaders joke) Yeah, baby boxers.
Ryan: Yeah! These are real man pants! (Pulls down trousers to reveal action man pants)
Michael: Hey guys, why not give this kid a break, aye?
(Bullies look at each other and nod heads, see the view of the strange child, the bullies grab him)
End Scene
Scene 2: They go and get cleaned up, and then a general conversation starts. Scott questions Michael about why he isn’t going to school, Michael then admits he got kicked out but was ashamed to say why.
(Camera is at a medium shot of us washing our faces)
Scott: Well, thanks for TRYING to help.
Michael: Its ok buddy: Oh! And I’m Michael by the way, but you can call me Mr Z.
Scott: Mr...Z?
Michael: Oh, yeah, that’s what they call me back in da’ hood.
(Tom looks intrigued and smirks at the strange comment)
Scott: Oh yeah? What part of “The hood” are you from “Mr Z”?
Michael: Well, London of course silly... (Under his breath to himself, zoom in on face)What a silly question. Hehehe
Scott: Yeah, I know that. (CU on face) I meant what part of London?
Michael: Downing Street.
Scott: Where the prime minister lives? Ok then...Anyway, thanks for trying to help...actually, why weren’t you going to school?
Michael: (Flashback of bullies setting Mr Z up with wires around to wreck the room when somebody trips) I don’t want to talk about it. (Shivers)
Scott: Oh, ok then. Fair enough. I don’t really feel up to going to school anymore to be honest.
Michael: Let’s go explore the local area and take in its lovely delights.
Scott: Yeah, sounds like a plan, I’ll just get changed.
(Walking down a street)
Michael: Hey Tom, have you ever seen anyone do this?
(Michael planks on a bench)
Scott: Do you have any idea how stupid you look Zee?
Michael: well I’d like to see you do it better.
Scott: bet you (Shuffles around in pocket, pulls out £2 coin) £2 I could do it for longer than you!
Michael: Ok, you’re on (Chuckles) (Zooms in on face) this is the easiest £2 I ever made!
(Montage of us planking, then Michael falls)
Michael: WOW! You have some real talent there buddy!
Scott: (Still planking) really? That’s the first time I heard that, especially from somebody of your status!
Michael: Well then, let’s get training!
Scott: What are you talking about, training?
(Michael smirks with camera zoomed in on his face)
End Scene
Scene 3: Quick montage of the main character training to plank, with his trainer Mr Z motivating him massively, but the process is terribly disrupted when the main character falls 2 inches off the ground and slightly his knee.
(Show loads of clips of Scott (Tom) planking in different places. There is a fast paced music playing and it continues throughout the montage)
Scott: OOOOWWW!
Michael: Oh my God! Are you ok? Can you still plank? Oh my, OH MY...This is terrible, what will we do now?
(Scott has a pain ridden face and holds his knee, he removes his hands, close up of knee then shows it is just a little cut)
Scott and Michael: AAAAAGGGGHHHH!
Michael: OH MY GOOOOOOOD! IT’S BLEEEEDING!
Scott: (Crying) I’m sorry Mr Z, I ruined it....this was all just a waste of time...I wouldn’t blame you for walking away right now...
Michael: (Also crying) Don’t you worry about a thing Tom, we’ll get through this...Together....I’ll never leave somebody with as much talent as you, however bad your injury is....This is just a set-back!
Scott: (Still looks in pain) Ok Mr Z, you have so much faith in me...your a great trainer...but an even better friend (Smiles)
(Close up of Michael smiling down at Scott)
