Risk Assessment

Whilst filming our music video, there are many risks which may occur, therefore we may have to undertake tasks to avoid dangers and accidents, these are shown below:

• Losing or damaging equipment - Whilst filming we will have to be careful and be respectful with the camera for instance so no accidents occur to proceed this we will keep the camera in the bag at time we don’t need it also whilst it’s it on the tripod we will make sure it’s secure. Also some of the equipment that we will be using such as the tripod should be provided by the media faculty in college, meaning that if that was to be damaged it could limit other A2 students filming time if they were wanting to use it. 
• High Angles- Because we are planning to do high angle shots whilst filming the band I will make sure I have someone accompany me and whilst the band is on the roof top we will make sure we don’t film in a threatening area.
• Cables - As our music video is based around a band there will be many guitar cables for instance on the floor so whilst filming myself and Nikki will have to be aware of this and try to keep the filming area tidy in order to avoid accidents and cables being damaged.
• Bottom Park - Be considerate that’s it’s an open, public park and there will be other people using the park. Ensure no misconduct or ill behaviour from all the team.
• Co-op roof top - This location we have chosen could be a very big risk to the performers in our music video as its very dangerous for that we have to be very careful and sensible when filming.

• This is a photo of the Co-op that we are filming at in Stapleford. Just to the right of the photo is a road that goes up a hill to further streets of houses. This leads around the back of the Co-op to the roof where there is a car park located. This means that the accessibility of the rooftop shouldn't be a problem having to carry all the equipment up there such as guitars and instruments.

- The one problem that we are having however is the drum kit. A drum kit made up of several different individual drums and to get them transported to this location would be very difficult. The one way that we are thinking to possibly get around it, is to just bring a single drum kit part such as a snare and have the Paper Shop Dave drummer use that. This would give a simple but effective impact on our music video.

- The main influence behind us choosing to record on a rooftop is because the scenery will change from that of the band performing a practice session inside a shed. To be able to cut from each performance will mean a change in mis en scene which will hopefully keep the audiences attention, especially if they are local and realise where the location actually is. This will give common ground to the audience as they know that they have been to this location.
