Health and Safety

Considering health and saftey regarding filming, we had to take a few regulations to make sure all actors were safe and the location we shot at was suitable. Since we used candles and a match to light them, we had to make sure the materials (and actors) around the flame were not flammable or a hazard to make sure nothing set on fire or got burned. We also made sure beforehand that the candles were safe and didn't drip hot wax on the props or table and we didn't leave them alight whilst unattended, ensuring nothing was caught alight.

Another issue we had was to make sure the table underneath the candles was steady and had a cloth covering it (as the table was made of wood) to make sure everything was safe and covered up.
