Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is very important to our music video. The reason for this is we have to document anything that could go wrong, the actors and everyone else who is involved need to be safe and we need to do everything in our power to keep everyone safe.

Location: Sophie's Garden
Scene: Girl Miming & Smashing Jars

Although these scenes are only being filmed in a normal garden there are still many things which could go wrong.

• We are using face paint & hair spray on the girl who is miming for us so we need to check with her and make sure she's not allergic to either of them or any of the ingredients.
• As we're filming outside there's always a risk of rain so we'll have to check the forecast and arrange to do it on a clear day.
• In this scene we plan to have the character smashing jars of glitter with a baseball bat/bar of some kind and we'll have to make sure there's no risk of any of us cutting ourselves.
• We will have to be careful that no glitter gets into any of our eyes when the jars are smashed, this could be helped by wearing glasses or goggles.

Location: London
Scenes: Running round London/Homeless People

The majority of our narrative will be filmed in London with the two main characters running around and the homeless people holding up their signs.

• Traffic. London roads are notoriously busy so we'll have to be careful when crossing the road travelling to/from shooting locations. Our plan is to film on quieter streets anyway so this shouldn't be that much of a problem.
• There is more crime in London than where we live so we have to be careful with our equipment etc.
• Whilst we're filming for the running scenes we have to be aware of the people around us and make sure we don't run into anyone or damage anyone's property.
