Risk assessment

There comes various risks when it comes to filming a music video and as a director I have to take these into consideration. The following table is showing the certain risks that are possible to accrue and how I intend to prevent them.

Risk
What may happen
How to prevent it
Breaking the camera
-    Dropping the camera we have borrowed from college is a possible risk.

-    Tripping over any wires coming from the camera.
-    To prevent from dropping the camera I will take extra care when handling it and I will make sure I use the handle when carrying the camera from the bag to the tripod.

-    To ensure no one trips over wires I will make sure people are aware of cables and keep them as visible yet secure as possible

Breaking the tripod
-    As well as the camera I am borrowing a tripod therefore I will need to take care of this. Ways in which this could be broken include one of its legs being snapped or dropping it.
    -  I will prevent this from
       happening by only
       allowing myself and

       daisy handle the
       equipment with care as
       we both know how to
       use it.
Health and safety of cast and crew overall
-    As we are filming in various locations I need to check for hazards such as cars, roads and weather conditions.

-    I can’t prevent any of these hazards however I will make sure we check around our area in these sort of locations before we being to film also making sure they are looked after and comfortable with their surroundings

Health and safety of cast and crew in music studio
-    Cast or crew member may trip over wires that are within the music studio

-    To prevent this I will ensure all cables are as out of the way as possible, this will prevent the occurrence or a trip.

Weather
-    Dangerous weather conditions can harm both cast and crew as well as camera equipment.

-    I cannot prevent the weather, however if I can see it’s becoming dangerous to continue filming I will rescheduled for another day.
