This is similar because they are both in a dark location and based around fear of a vulnerable person. They both use props to represent danger indirectly and a range camera shots are also used to show many things including power and authority.

Risk Assessment
Stepping on glass - High risk as this can be dangerous due to glass being sharp. we will be careful as the actor will have slippers on and we will insure they remain on the entire time so no harm is caused during the filming of the sequence.
Wires from camera - May trip over the whilst filming and injure yourself. We will make sure this doesn't happen by constantly reminding each other throughout filming that the wires are there so no damage is done whilst filming. Low Risk
Danger from knives/hammer - Very sharp so might scratch yourself. We will make sure no damage is done by constantly holding the knife downwards in between filming scenes so no accidental accidents occur. This is very high risk and one we will constantly monitor throughout.
Falling downstairs with camera - Camera is heavy so risk of losing control of feet and falling. We will make sure this is not done by walking carefully with the camera tightly gripped to our hands. Maintaining the quality of the camera is vital as we don't want to pay for any damages. Medium Risk
Putting up tripod - Can cut yourself or hurt yourself when putting it up. We will construct the tripod slowly and carefully to ensure this doesn't happen. Low Risk.

Effectiveness Of Storyboard
The storyboard has enabled me to think in more detail about my sequence. I can now think about how i can create suspense and it has given me a better idea of the shots that will be used. It has enabled me to visually document and explain the story line, as well as made it clearer to understand for the audience. It has given me an opportunity to show how I can represent fear and vulnerability by looking at the shots on the storyboard. It has also enabled me to measure the time of the sequence as I can test it out by doing it picture by picture.
