This document lists potential risks and hazards for a student film group making a music video, along with who is affected, ways to prevent issues, and solutions if problems occur. It identifies risks such as cameras running out of battery, tripods not working properly, bad weather affecting shots, group members being ill or unavailable, vehicles running low on fuel, traffic delays, insufficient memory on recording cards, blurry footage, and dropping the camera. Prevention strategies include checking equipment, having backup gear, planning for contingencies, and taking extra recordings. Solutions include using alternate cameras, tripods, vehicles, routes, filming on different days, reformatting cards, and re-filming scenes.
