Risk Assessment

For this part of my course work I will be identifying the possible risks that I could face whilst making the music video. By doing this it will alert me to anything that could go wrong or cause someone to get injured and be able to fix it before I get started, so im planning ahead. Below is the risk assessment I have made:

Cast:
Problem- The girls im wanting to use might not be able to turn up when I need them.
Overcome- Ask the girls when their free and make a schedule so then I know who im filming each day.
Prevent- Ask my friends that I know will be reliable.

Problem- Girls tripping
Overcome- Make sure everything the girls need in the shot is there and no objects that aren't needed get in the way whilst filming.
Prevent- Plan ahead making sure I know what props will be used so I can make sure there secure and where the girls will be directed so nothing gets in their way whilst filming.

Editing:
Problem- Losing footage either when importing or when sharing camera with others.
Overcome- Make sure the files are backed up and saved each time when used.
Prevent- Make sure no one deletes your shots and also make sure im using the computer with the right software.

Problem- Shots aren't long enough or to long giving the film gaps when music playing.
Overcome- Film extra footage just in case I need extra shots added to make the video longer for any reason.
Prevent- Make sure my storyboard and shot list are reliable when working from it.

Equipment:
Problem- Camera becomes faulty or breaks.
Overcome- Make sure all filming is saved so I don't lose any and have a back up camera if first one breaks.
Prevent- Whenever the camera is in use make sure it secure either to my hand with the strap or fastened to the tripod.

Mise-en-scene:
Problem- Clothing may not be available.
Overcome- Make sure the girls have the clothing you want them to wear and can swap clothes if necessary.
Prevent- Make sure the girls have the clothes needed in the video and are willing to lead their clothes to each other.

Problems- Lose or props not available to use.
Overcome- Make sure I have another idea if props aren't available and also to have spares.
Prevent- Use props that I already own or are easy to get hold of and know when I can use them prior to the filming.

Location:
Problem- Location I wanted cant be used.
Overcome- Make sure there a multiple other places we can film the shots I want.
Prevent- Check each location I want to use before filming to make sure its usable.
