TOP 3 RISKS IDENTIFIED ON LOCATION (N.B. this does not replace the Risk Assessment form which must be carried out for any practical project)

The wooden skate ramps and stairs and metal rails are generally dangerous when skating on in case the person skating falls over.

Quality of the ground can be seen as a risk (where the wooden ramps join up can sometimes suddenly cause a slight bump and affect the person skating, nails in the wood)

Other people who are in the skate park can be a risk as they may collide with another person

Describe the aesthetics of the location (e.g. Describe the potential camera shots or describe the acoustic value of the location) There are a great variety of positions which I will be able to get into to take my photos, for example I could take a photo of the skater doing the same thing but I could take each photo from a different position or angle to give myself more of a variety of pictures to choose from.(at the top of the ramp with the skater below me or at the bottom of the ramp with the skater above me. The room which I will be taking my photos in is a large open space room with a high ceiling.
