RISK IDENTIFIED SHOOTING LOCATION RESPONSIBILITY PREVENTION 
Illness or injury All Actor/ Camera man If any participants 
involved in the making 
of this music video 
happen to be ill on the 
day we have planned 
to shoot, an alternative 
date will be set to 
shoot the video. A date 
that all participants are 
satisfied with. 
Weather All outdoor shooting Nobody Prior to the shooting, 
the weather forecast 
will be checked so that 
the participants do not 
hit any unexpected 
weather that could 
potentially ruin the 
shots taken as well as 
valuable equipment. If 
the weather does 
happen to take a turn 
for the worst, an 
alternative date will be 
arranged for shooting. 
Full memory card All Camera Man If the memory card fills 
up while shooting, we 
will replace it with 
another memory card 
which we will carry 
round at all times, 
giving us 2x 8gb 
memory cards. This 
should be more than 
enough to cover our 
shooting for the day. 
Low Battery All Camera man If the camera battery 
runs out whilst filming, 
we will have a car 
nearby that can charge 
the camera for any 
length of time. To 
prevent the camera 
from running out of 
battery quickly, it will 
be charged each night 
until the battery is full. 
Lighting All Camera Man and Actor If the lighting does not 
meet our needs when 
we shoot, we will 
create our own light
with portable lights 
that we will have with 
us at all time. However 
for the most part, we 
will be shooting in the 
day so there is little 
chance that this will 
happen. 
Location availability 
and safety 
All Camera Man and Actor To avoid clashing with 
other students, we will 
book out the studio 
with a member of 
staff, ensuring that 
there will be no 
interruptions whilst 
filming our video. 
Safety wise, we have 
carefully chosen 
locations that usually 
are not dangerous so 
that our video can run 
smoothly without any 
trouble. 
Tripping Hazards All Camera man and actor Before shooting any of 
the clips, we will 
ensure that all the 
shooting floor is tidy 
and cleared of any 
objects that could 
cause a fall. If someone 
does happen to fall 
over any objects, we 
will have a first aid kit 
with us. Any serious 
injuries with need an 
ambulance to be called 
and another shooting 
day arranged. 
Public Interference Outdoor locations Nobody It is not likely that the 
public will interfere as 
locations we have 
chosen are either very 
quiet or very busy, 
meaning that even in 
the very busy places, 
people will be more 
interested in getting 
on with their business. 
Software Indoor Camera man and actor The software could 
possibly crash while 
we are editing our
video. To prevent us 
from losing work and 
progress we will save 
each step of the 
process, making it 
impossible to be a loss 
to our film if the 
software happens to 
crash.
