The Risk Business (1977)

Concept and creative process

Business risks of all varieties are considered in this series of documentaries, dramatically symbolised by the idea of Russian roulette and staring down the barrel of a gun. In a live action sequence, the gun is loaded and the chamber spins. A still of the barrel becomes a vehicle for a montage of film footage, with the logo of the programme spinning up out of it as the smoking barrel in turn zooms back to dot the letter 'I' of RISK.
