1. Risk Assessment
There are many risks that could occur during the filming of our music
video; because of this we have completed a risk assessment to ensure
we take into account everything that could effect the filming. This will
ensure we eliminate as many risks as possible.
1. Weather – We cannot predict what the weather will be like when
we want to film outdoor scenes. This may affect the filming
schedule and put us behind of our original plan. For example if it
rains and we need dry weather this will effect when we can film
this specific scene, putting back other scenes we have planned
to film. To stop this from happening we could check the weather
forecast to try and plan to film on days when it is supposed to be
sunny. However you can never fully predict the weather so I think
this will be something we always have to consider.
2. People letting us down – Obviously as we are relying on other
people to be in the video we need to take into account that
they may not be able to make times when we would like to film.
And this would put back the filming of the whole video. They
may also be ill and unable to make a filming day. However we
have chosen people we trust and feel are reliable so I don’t think
this will be a big problem. However we will give them as much
notice as possible to ensure that they are free to be able to film.
3. Equipment breaking –(Camera’s computers, editing software)
we are relying on equipment for the whole project so if any of
this breaks this could effect the final product and could also
affect when we can film. To try and eliminate this we will ensure
that we check all of the cameras etc. before we leave for a
location to make sure everything is working correctly. This will
make sure that we don’t waste time on the location trying to fix
equipment and will make our filming time more efficient.
4. Health and Safety on location – As one of our locations is on a
beach we need to make sure that everyone filming with us is
safe and doesn’t get hurt. We may film near the sea and we
need to take extra caution to make sure that everyone is kept
safe and isn’t put in any danger. This goes for actors and
crewmembers. We will eliminate this by not going too close to
areas that may be dangerous and cause risk to anyone involved
in the filming.
5. Permission – As we are using some locations outside of college
we may need to look into whether we need to ask places
permission to film. This is something we will have to do

2. beforehand so it doesn’t effect out filming and waste people’s
time. This could also be the case if we use the studio in college
as many other groups may want to use it so we need to make
sure we book it so that we can use it without having issues with
other groups.
6. Props and costumes – Although the costumes we are thinking of
using are not overly complicated it may be difficult to get the
correct look for the video and the actor. It is important the
costumes fit the theme and genre of the video but also the actor
has to be comfortable wearing them. This is something we need
to consider as we may want a certain look but the actor isn’t
happy. We will ensure we have talks with all people involved and
make sure they are happy with the costumes we have
suggested. Also as we don’t have a budget for this video
getting props could be an issue. We are looking into getting
things for free by including things we have personally or that
people we know have and are willing to let us borrow for the
purpose of the video. We also need to make sure that props
don’t get broken, or cause an obstruction to the filming or the
location, as we may not be the only people in that location. We
will plan all of this before we film to ensure this isn’t an issue.
7. Getting to the locations – As we plan to include a lot of people in
certain parts of the video getting a large group of people to the
locations may be an issue. We have no way of transporting
people to locations so it will be down to the people involved to
get there. This could cause a problem to filming if not many
people can get there. This could affect the end look of the
video. We will try and eliminate this by giving people as much
notice as we can so they can try and organize a way of getting
to the location.
