1. Risk Assessment
For my music video I shall have to produce a risk assessment providing all the
risks that may cause harm to myself or any actors within the video, any
disruptions to the shooting of the video or risks involving the filming equipment
and also the risk of the public within the spots where they might be
pedestrians walking about doing things they need to do within their life.
1) One risk I shall have to consider is an illness any of my actors or myself.
This could happen at ay of the locations and would be out of my control. To
overcome this, if an actor or myself becomes ill a message should be sent to
the other people who are due to shoot in the same scene and a new filming
date shall be made.
2) A second risk I shall have to consider is any time clashes or
inconveniences due to the schedules on certain days. This could happen at
anytime, so I shall require a message explaining reasons why they could not
make the shoot and to overcome this we shall arrange a day, which everyone
who is involved can be involved.
3) A further risk is injury to my actors or myself. This could happen at any
location, especially the scene involving the fire. This would be my
responsibility as I am the director of the music video and the ideas are my
own, therefore I have to take full responsibility for my actors, I am also
responsible for my own well being.
4) Another risk would be the weather, which would cause problems outdoors.
This is completely out of my control, as I cannot control the weather. I shall
check weather reports, yet if the weather does inevitably pose a threat to a
shoot, then I shall message any actors who are required on that specific day
and reschedule with them for the next day we are all available.
5) A risk involving the camera is that the memory card within may get full and
stop shooting. This could happen at any location and at any point. To
overcome this problem I shall always make sure that I have spare memory
cards with me to keep shooting running smoothly and without any problems.
This would be my responsibility as I am the director and any problems
involving equipment is all my responsibility as I shall be taking it out of college
and it will be in my name.
6) A risk that would only occur outdoors is interference by the public. This
could occur when the male lead is walking down the street or even when at
the beach. The only way to overcome this is that, if needs be, to re-shoot the
scene which was interfered with to withdraw any public interaction.
7) Another risk involving the equipment is if any of the equipment shall be
broken or become faulty. As I shall be using a camera of my own for certain
scenes and a camera from the college in my name I shall be held responsible

2. for any damage to the equipment. This could happen at any location due to a
number of possibilities so I shall have to be extremely careful when filming.
8) A further risk of the equipment is the charge of the camera. As I am the
director I shall be held responsible for the camera charge, to overcome this I
shall charge the cameras well before I need them to ensure that they have the
full charge to be used. This risk could be a possibility at any of the locations.
9) Failure to acquire any of the props I shall need will be my fault as I am the
director of the music video. To ensure I do not make this risk a reality, I shall
consider what shoot I am doing and will make sure I have all the props that
are needed for that shoot, such as the wood, paper and a lighter for the
scenes involving the fire.
