Personal Reflection:

During risk assessment and location scouting, I learned how essential it is to identify potential hazards and practical issues before filming. Assessing risks like weather conditions helped me understand how to ensure safety and avoid disruptions. Location scouting wasn’t just about finding a good-looking spot, it also involved checking lighting, noise, and whether the location fit the project’s mood. This process taught me the importance of balancing creativity with practicality, and I now see how important preparation is for smooth filming.
