Bringing Down the House

A step-by-step guide to safe work practices and regulatory requirements. These are as essential for the school musical as they are for the big budget epic. 

Topics covered include: 

• set construction
• lighting
• sound
• rigging
• props
• stage management
• fight scenes
• special effects
• camera and sound crew safety
• transport
• location shoots
• risk assessment
• emergency procedures
• stress management
• post production

Each section contains student exercises with answers designed to test a student's knowledge of correct work and safety procedures. These should be an essential part of an institution's 'duty of care' instruction to cast and crew before embarking on any production.
