The document summarizes a risk assessment for creating a promotional video for a film studies program. It will involve editing video footage on computers which could cause eye strain from long periods of screen time. Controls like regular breaks are planned. Filming interviews also carries risks like tripping over wires, but the team will keep wires organized and warn people. The overall risk level for filming is deemed high while computer use is medium.
