The document provides a risk assessment for filming scenes of a music video. It analyzes potential risks for each scene and outlines safety precautions. For scene 1 set in an art classroom, crash mats and sensible shoes are used during a staged fight. Glass jars will be carefully positioned to fall safely and clean-up supplies are ready in case of breakage. All props are made safe for the actors to handle. Rescheduling contingencies are in place should any participants be unable to film as planned.

1. Risk Assessment.
During filming or the set of recording, there are many risks that could come about. By writing this
assessment I’m making sure that the health and safety of everyone who is a part of my music video
will be fine. I will also use this assessment to raise questions to my actors in case there is anything I
should know, or if there is anything they are against.
Scene 1: The Art Classroom
If any of my actors were to become ill we would have to rearrange for when we could film,
as an injury or accident could come about if someone were to perform when they were not
at their fullest ability. However this may result in my work falling behind in schedule, so I
would try to shoot a different scene that day – one that would not need the person in
question.
In the art classroom scene the singer and the girl that he is singing to get into a fight.
Towards the end the fight becomes physical and results in Matthew pushing Zoe over. For
this scene I used a crash mat that I was able to borrow from the P.E. department of my
college, and placed it out of shot behind Zoe for when she was to fall.
Footwear – I made sure that Zoe wore sensible, flat shoes as she was going to have to do a
lot of walking in this scene. There is also a part where she goes to walk past Matthew and he
spins her around to face him. By doing this I hope to minimise the chance of her falling or
tripping over.
At the end of this scene four glass jars full of paint are going to fall from the easel onto the
floor. I will have a mop, brush and pan at the ready in case any of the glass jars smash from
the fall. I will also make sure that both of my actors are a safe distance away from the paint,
to avoid anything hitting them.
All the props that my actors will be using are completely safe. Firstly the canvas that will be
on an easel that I will set up myself, so that neither Zoe nor Matthew will have to touch it.
The only props that they will have to hold are the brushes and jar of water and that only
applies to Zoe for very short amounts of time.
If anyone one lets me down by not being able to turn up for a pre-arranged day of filming,
then I will again be at risk of falling behind on deadlines and work flow. Again, I will try to
rearrange things so that I could film something else at that time, something that does not
include the person that could not make it.
