Risk Assessment

The group carried out a risk assessment identifying any dangers, risks or complications that we could face during production of our music video

Getting Injured By Moving Car:
We will ensure that precautions are put in to place for road safety during footage around roads and we will never film actors crossing busy roads. When filming the walking and running down a road sequence we will ensure to choose a quiet backstreet with few cars. We also have the members of the group not filming to be on traffic watch, if there is a car approaching they will shout to the actor and cameraman 'Car!' and they will move off the road immediately and wait until it has gone before returning to filming.

Getting Lost:
During filming, we will make sure that all members of the group have phone in their pocket so if they are seperated from the rest of the group and do not no where they are they can eaisly contact the others to find out where they are. However, this will be prevented by filming in groups of three or four at all times, which will limit individual isolation.

Damage to Equipment:
We will make sure, when handling equipment, that we do so gently and slowly, preventing any quick slips, trips or falls with the equipment. We will also share the equipment when walking therefore preventing any one person to carry all of it by themselves, which will hopefully prevent injury or damage to person or equipment.

Strangers/Assault:
We will make sure as a group that we don't annoy or aggravate members of the public during the filming's of our scenes. We will choose fairly isolated areas during the day to avoid this, but if we encounter a person we will take extra safety precautions to avoid awkward questioning or negative vibes.

General Injury:
We will ensure that our locations are near college during, college hours, so if something happened we can quickly return to get help. Also we will always travel in a group of 4, therefore if someone is in trouble, one (or two) member(s) of the group can stay with them whilst the other one or two can run off for help.

Illness:
If a member of a group falls ill time needs to be used efficiently to remain on schedule. If its more than 2 hours we need to find replacement or a definite reschedule date will be set and be met without exception.

Prop Smashing Sequence:
We are planning to include a short scene where the girl/ singer will trash a few purposefully placed props to show her frustration and anger at being trapped in an unhappy relationship. We will have to make sure that no one is damaged during the filming of the sequence by pushing the props away from ourselves so when anything breaks it will be well away. We also need to film it in one take as we will not be able to film it again.

Camera Issues:
In AS Media whilst filming for the opening sequence of our Thriller we had some camera issues. First of all on our first shoot production was hindered and delayed by the camera being in night mode and us not knowing what was wrong until we realised. We also filmed certain sections in a non-widescreen format and had to film the sequences again and we feel the original shots were superior. Therefore we will learn from our mistakes and hopefully be more efficient this time round.
