Health and
risk assessment
Before filing our
music video we had to consider the risks what could occur. This could be
anything from tripping to people not turning up. Unlike other groups we have a
band which means we have more than one person to rely on. An example of something
going wrong could be that one of the people don’t turn up. When writing this up
I need to make sure that as well as identifying the problem I need to have a
way to overcome it.
1 1. Electrical
equipment
In our music video
we are using a lot of electrics so we all need to be aware of the danger, for
example we need to make sure there is no water near the electrics. Another risk
could be electric shocks so we need to make sure everything is looking good but
additionally safe to film.
Before filming we
need to have someone check all eclectics and make sure people don’t have any
dangerous things near the electrics. We will explain to people that they can’t
have water near the stage.
2. Tripping
over
In our music
video we are planning to have a band playing on the stage to a small audience,
but a risk of this is that when we have them playing one of them could fall. We
are going to need to use equipment and make it look like a live concert. This
will involve having a lot of wires of the stage. So as well as making it look
live, we also need to make sure that it is safe for the participant.
Before filming
we are going to need to tell the group of people about this. Additionally
during the video if we see a lose wire; we need to be aware and cut if needed.
In our group we will have someone who is filming, someone who is in the band
and someone who will watching for risks and also playing in song.
3. Filming
problems
When filming the
video we need to make sure we have good lighting. Because we are doing a live
convert scene, the idea scene would be dark but we don’t want it so dark that
we can’t see. Sounds shouldn't really be a problem in the music video because
the sound will be added later but we need to make sure people are quiet during videoing.
This is not just because of the sound but if their lips are moving when they shouldn't
it could cause errors. Also when we do long shots we need to make sure we can
see.
Before filming
we need people to understand that it is silence. Additionally we may have to
use lights to brighten certain areas.
4. Missing
participants
When filing we
need to make sure that all participants are there on time and ready to film,
because if not it could cause us to lose the space or have to recast.
To stop this
from occurring we will send out an email checking times and dates that people are
free, after this we will send out a conformation email and then attach our
number and emails in case of emergencies. A final thing we need is extras, so
if something happens and someone can’t come we have a double.
5. Fires
or drills
Since we are
filming in a school there also could be a chance of fire drills or something so
we need to make sure that all the cast know where the exits are.
Before filming
we will make sure they know where the door is and how to leave carefully.
6. Interruptions
When filming in
a school there are children and teachers going past ever minute.
Before filming it
would be good to have someone watching the door or put up a notice on the door
to make sure that we don’t get disturbed.
Here are some of the
main problems we could face but after doing the checks we think that nothing like
this will occur.
