The risk assessment identifies potential hazards for a music video shoot at a school location, including access to the green screen if the room is already in use, background noise interfering with audio recording, and limited control over lighting. Key controls include communicating scheduling needs to teachers, selecting a quiet room, and discussing lighting options with teachers to choose the best room. The overall risks are low but could impact the project if not properly planned and managed.

Hazard: Access
What could cause harm? Aswe are filmingthispartinschool andwe needthe greenscreen,the day
that we needitmay alreadybe inuse.Thiscouldtherefore meanthatwe wouldhave topostpone
filmingforthatone day.
What is the likelihoodofthis happening?The likelihoodof thishappeningisslimbecause aslongas
we tell the teacherthatwe needonthatspecificdaytheywill make sure thatno one else usesit.
How much harm? There wouldbe nophysicallyharmhoweveritcouldbe frustratingforus because
it meanthat we wouldgetbehindonfilmingif we hadtopostpone
(4) Control? We wouldhave tocontrol the situationbymakingsure thatwe are organisedbefore we
start filming
Hazard: Noise
What could cause harm? The harm that thiscouldcause wouldbe that whenwe start filmingif
childrenare runningpastand makingnoise thiscouldputouractor off,or that our clipisnot clear
enough.Thiswouldtherefore have anegative effectonourfinal product.
What is the likelihoodofthis happening? The likelihoodof thishappeningismoderate becauseit
dependswhenthe greenscreenisfree inorderforusto actuallyknow if itwill be quietenough.
How much harm? The onlyharm that thiswouldbe cause wouldbe that the clipmaybe unclear
because of backgroundnoise
(3) Isolate?We will have tomake sure that the room we use issomewhere quiet.
(4) Control? We have to make sure that we are organisedwithwhenthe areawill be silent
Hazard: Lighting
What could cause harm? We may not be able to change the lightingtohow we want itto be,for
example darkerorlighter.Thiscouldtherefore meanthe ouroverproductisnot as effective and
doesnotlookhow we wantit to look.
What is the likelihoodofthis happening? The likelihoodof thishappeningisaverage because it
dependswhatroomwe use inorderfor us to actuallyknow whatthe lightingislike.
How much harm? There wouldnotbe much harm howeveritmaynotlookhow we wantit to look
and therefore the overall effectivenessislimited.
(3) Isolate?We mayhave to make sure thatthe windowslookdarkerthantheyactuallyare
(4) Control? We have to speakto the teachersto see whatroomis the bestto use.
