LO2 2.2: Discuss the issues and risks for the proposed multiple effects

In planning my graph it was crucial that I evaluated safe work practices and identified potential hazards this was important when creating a project so i could anticipate and reduce risk of health implications whilst creating the visual effect, here is a risk assessment demonstrating some serious threats.

As you can see many of the health risks are due to the overuse of computers due to the visual effect i'm making needing computer software, however if i was going to create a special effect as my final product, the health risks would be much more severe. This is why in film and TV industry there are specialists who create these special effects such as pyrotechnics, specialists are needed due to the danger being such a high risk amateurs wouldn't be safe creating them.



In terms of creating my effects I have carefully followed procedures such as turning down the brightness of the computer screen to reduce eye-damage when using the computers for a long duration.
I have been taking breaks every 30-45 minutes ensuring I have a drink and stay hydrated during the process as well as having the mentality to keep my wrists straight throughout this avoiding issues such as repetitive strain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
As i continue to create my effect I will ensure that I have the risk assessment more in mind and consider health over efficiency as this would create more problems in the long term.
