This document provides a risk assessment for a music video shoot at a nightclub. It identifies potential hazards like access issues getting the underage actress into the club, disturbances from a public audience like fights, and communication failures in the loud environment. Mitigation strategies are proposed, such as having a backup plan at a house party, filming in a small corner away from crowds, and planning shots ahead of time to control for noise issues. The overall risk level is evaluated as moderate due to the unpredictable public setting of a nightclub.
