Set Safety Summary

Set safety and etiquette is so important because there are many risks that come with working on a set, and being oblivious to a possible hazard can potentially injure an employee, or worst, cost them their life. Although safety is the number one priority, it's also super important to learn proper etiquette because the wrong behavior can get someone fired, and make it hard for them to ever keep a job in the industry again. I think an aspect of set safety that will be difficult to follow is risk assessment and slowing a shoot down to think things through. Because the atmosphere on set is so fast-paced and an emphasis is put on getting the perfect shot in the least amount of time, I think it would be difficult for anyone with stake in the project to slow things down and assess every setup before filming, but it must be done. Personally, I'd like to learn more about the etiquette portion of film sets, especially the proper lingo that is used and when, because as of now it all sounds foreign.
