Risk Assessment

ACTIVITY	HAZARD	RISK	PERSON IN DANGER	SAFETY PRECATION IN PLACE
SETTING UP	- Getting the equipment out and getting ready for filming can be a hazard, if you don't enable the equipment together properly then you will have problems throughout the day when using the equipment for filming.	- The risk is that the equipment will get broken if it hasn't been put together properly. For example, if you don't clip the camera onto the tripod correctly and it falls off while you are filming, it will break and you may lose the filming you have previously filmed if it wasn't saved.	- Everyone using the equipment are the people in danger because if the any of the equipment isn't put together correctly and then breaks throughout the day, it will be those people responsible who will have to replace the equipment, meaning pay for new stuff or pay to get it fixed, depending on the damage.	- Simply, make sure that when you put the equipment away the day before it is put away correctly so that when you get it out to set up the next day, it is easy to enable. Also, you could double check it all over once you have put it all together to make sure everything is secure.
FILMING	- A possible hazard when filming is the weather conditions, for example, you may be wanting to film outside and have nice weather, but it could be heavily raining, so this wouldn't be possible.	- The equipment could get broken from water damage, there could be a tripping hazard with the wires etc and if the floor is slippery from rain, then there is more risk of the equipment getting broken.	- The camera man could suffer from an electric shock, if the weather is bad, when using the equipment. Also, if the camera man slips over from the ground being wet due to weather conditions, then as well as the equipment getting broken, the camera man/director/actors etc could get hurt as well.	- You could try and use a cover over the equipment, especially electrical equipment, to protect it from the weather. This cover could be a marquee or gazebo etc.
WRAP	- Sometimes when wrapping up at the end of the day people rush and don't pack the equipment up the way they should. If filming the next day in the same place, people may leave the equipment where it is so they don't have to set up the next day.	- The risk of this is the equipment can get broken, because of this you may lose the work you have just filmed, or you may not be able to use some of the equipment again. If the equipment is left out over night or just for a period throughout the day, it could get stolen or if the weather is bad it could get broken/damaged.	- The people that are handling the equipment are the people in danger because they are the ones that need to sort out the equipment. If the equipment gets lost, stolen, broken, or isn't packed away in the correct way or place, then they could be held responsible for that and so they would be the ones that would have to pay out for a new set of equipment.	- You need to take your time when packing away the equipment so that nothing gets broken or damaged. A list could be created so that you can tick off everything as you pack up, ensuring that all equipment is being packed away correctly and to make sure nothing is forgotten.

Treatment for Opening Title Sequence

Oil tycoon George James Wentworth murdered for four years now is still paying for his sins through the means of his daughter and son to face punishment of their fathers sins. In his final act of sin in 2010 when undercutting Arab Oil millionaires from a billion dollar contract, a final sin taken to far meet GJ Wentworth with his death as Arab oil millionaires had connections in England take control of his discreet murder. Not only this but through clauses made in the binding contract between the two companies the Arab oil millionaires where able to take GJ Wentworth's oil company along with his home, money and other assets, leaving GJ's children - Hunter and Alexis Wentworth penniless and without a farther. Forward into four years since GJ Wentworth's murder Hunter and Alexis set out to start a new oil company sickened by there farther sins that they have had pressed against them since his death, the newly merged company starts of with sky rocketing success and as a result newly founded wealth, power and status is achieved. Whilst the sins of her farther has made Alexis a women that acknowledges that with wealth and power comes responsibility and fair dealings, the same can not be said for Hunter. A streak of his farther begins to build inside him with the same sinful power hungry mindset, Hunters first goal to prove his power - track down and kill those responsible for his farther's murder. Yet unbeknownst to both Hunter and Alexis since the newly formed oil company's successes reached international news the Arab oil men responsible for the fathers death instruct the English connection who also killed GJ Wentworth to watch the two and when the time is right capture and bring them both to him as to keep the threatening promise made to GJ Wentworth before his murder in which the Arab oil men stated "your name will never rise again, not by you or by any of your children".

 Hunter attempts to persuade Alexis into supporting him in his plan for vengeance. However Alexis who wishes not for her fathers name to even be spoken in her presence leads to an argument between the two within Alexis's office, four gun shots are sounded yet neither of the siblings are responsible for the shots, English connection for the Arab Oil men 'Ralph' and an army of henchmen invade the offices at night during the twos argument and kidnap Hunter yet Alexis is successful in escaping the invasion. Alexis goes into hiding calling in all her favours due to her from business partners dealt with in the past and the police to rescue her brother and see that justice be brought to those responsible for the kidnapping of her brother and murder of her farther.

Almost eight weeks goes by until finally the police learn that the kidnappers have smuggled Hunter out of the country and into Dubai, as Alexis and reinforcements set out to travel to Dubai the man himself Hakem Mahir sends Alexis a video message via her private plane in which he plans to meet with her to discuss his dealing with her farther back in 2010 and "discuss plans" for her brother, he informs Alexis that her work so far has been "noble" yet she is warned she is now entering his land and he is the "ultimate power". The pair meet with both armed forces for support in hiding on either side, the two discuss the deal Hakem Mahir shared with GJ Wentworth four years ago and Hunter in forced into the room by henchmen of Hakem's, Alexis is made to watch as her brother is further tortured by the men, enraged Alexis screams in her men and Hakem follows in her steps, a huge battle of guns and explosions take place in the oil field.

As the men battle on Alexis frees Hunter, directly after Alexis is captured by two of Hakem's men as they shot at Hunter, Hunter shoots up at an oil tank from above as oil begins to flood a ditch in the ground and the surrounding field Hunter pushes Hakem into the ditch of overflowing oil Hakem drowns to death whilst Hunter escapes with the remainder of Alexis armed forces and the two with Alexis under capture, they shoot at Hunter and Hunter shoots back, killing one of Alexis captures immediately as the other makes for an escape with Alexis in hand, Hunter takes his final shot as the capture trips with Alexis, the capture forces Alexis in front of him and she is shot dead by her brothers gun shot, the capture releases Alexis, and runs leaving Hunter alone to run to his sister and hold her dead in his arms as he realises a roar of crying the movie ends.

Character Profile

 Hakem Mahir (Portrayed By George Callcut)
Age : 48
Character Profile - Hakem Mahir, born and raised in the high end of Dubai under the roof of the wealthy Mahir family, with a reputation past on through the decades of notorious business dealings and strong family and religious values. Hakem joined the family's oil company after finishing his education and after his late fathers death, as the eldest son Hakem took over the oil company with his brothers by his side as faithful and strong business partners alike. Hakem Mahir was approached by George James Wentworth to invest in his offshore oil rig with the proposal of splitting all profits 60:40, Mahir was keen to do so and boarded the next plane over to England to close the deal. However Mahir later discovered that he had been cheated from his rightful profits from the offshore drilling and set out straight away to revenge, in which English connections to the oil man set out to have GJ Wentworth assassinated. Just under ten years on from the assassination news of GJ Wentworth's children rising to oil business success reaches Hakem and once again sets out to capture and kill those who have sinned against him and their children.

Hunter Wentworth (Portrayed By Joe Ashman [Younger] & Tom Allport [Older])
Age : 22
Character Profile - Eldest child and only son to GJ Wentworth is left grief stricken after the death of his beloved farther and even more enraged by never discovering and being able to punish those responsible for his fathers assassination. As Hunter moves through life he becomes increasingly protective and caring to his two years younger sister (Alexis) who is the only immediate family he has left (Hunter & Alexis' mother having tragically died when giving birth to Alexis). Although when creating his and Alexis' combined oil company a sense of justice for his farther name being rightfully put back in its place begins to develop in Hunter a growing desire to capture and punish those responsible for his fathers murder begins to also develop inside Hunter in order to bring full justice back to his farther.

Alexis Wentworth (Portrayed By Ellie Ashman)
Age: 20
Character Profile - The youngest child and only daughter to GJ Wentworth and surprisingly the one with the strongest wit and sensibility between herself and her brother. A faint sense of guilt has always been present inside Alexis feeling guilty for the death of her mother at child birth, as a result her relationship with her farther suffered greatly and when his assassination took place Alexis although grief struck could hardly feel sympathetic towards her farther position more so that she felt he had what was coming to him, however Alexis chose to be careful on her opinions of her farther around her elder brother who saw their farther nothing less than a saint, when creating the combined oil business with her brother Alexis set out to bring pride and respect back to the Wentworth name and to leave her farther way back in the past.

GJ Wentworth (Portrayed By Nick Ashman)
Age: 36 (Age Of Death)
Character Profile - Before his assignation GJ Wentworth built up his independent oil company, to which he was successful and became a multi-millionaire oil man. GJ began as a man centred around his family, and his creation of his independent oil company was for the purpose for a fulfilled life with his family, providing for them in the wealthiest way possible. However as the company developed so did GJ's greed and hunger for money and power. As a result in his final act of sin, GJ brought in and then undercut Arab oil men in a offshore oil rig venture, having discovered there undercutting the Arab men, whom hold links with assassins, contacted their assassin in England and had GJ brought to his death one late night at GJ's office, leaving his two children as orphans and penniless and GJ's empire was destroyed and taken away from him.
