1. Risk
Weather
Hazard
The weather is very
unpredictable meaning it
may be dependent on
when we are allowed to
shoot, especially with the
changing season. Filming
could create problems if
it is in the snow, it is also
a danger for actors as
they could slip in the
snow and it would be
inappropriate depending
on the type of clothing
we are going to use.
Equipment
The electrical equipment
such as lighting, camera
or props may cause fire
or shocks to users. The
hazard is that equipment
that has been used
consistently for a number
of years by other
students may have been
damaged and unknown
to us or the actors, they
could be faulty.
The lighting is a hazard
because of the way in
which people can
obviously see the change
in light within the film,
different times of day will
cause light to change
meaning o0ur timing
needs to be consistent.
Artificial lighting could
cause damage to the
actors if it is used
consistently.
This means that actors
who won’t turn up when
we need them which will
delay the filming. The
actors may not be for the
type of song we want
and listen to a much
different genre. Illness or
unexpected events may
also mean the filming
needs to delayed.
Lighting
Unreliable Actors
Prevention
The weather forecast is
needed in order to plan
the filming, a well
organised plan of how
were going to film will
also mean we will miss
the winter weather and
allow for editing in that
time. Green screen can
also be used for the
filming if the weather is
very bad. The way to
prevent accidents is to
wear appropriate
footwear and give some
assistance on any
hazards.
The equipment could be
PAT tested in order to
check for any faulty
electronics, this would
avoid any surges in
power causing fire. The
equipment should also
be tuned off, especially
the lights as they can
warm up very quickly,
this would also prevent
fire.
The way in which this can
be prevented by planning
the right time of day for
lighting; editing can also
enhance the light. The
artificial light can be
prevented by alternating
the settings of the glow.
What it could cause
The weather could cause
injury o the actor such as
cuts; it could also cause
conditions such as
hypothermia depending
on cold, if we were really
that cruel. The filming
being non-continuity due
to the weather would
also mean our music
video would look terrible.
The way in which this can
be prevented is by
choosing reliable actors,
preferably friends. A
backup plan is also
needed in case an actor
cannot film for the whole
duration
Stress.
The electrical shocks
could cause burns or loss
of muscle control; this
would of course be a
serious incident and
would need hospital
assistance. The fire could
cause mass damage to
the school or the location
we will be filming.
The damage caused by
artificial lighting would
be eye strain or on a
serious scale could be
blindness or epilepsy.
The natural lighting may
be frustrating on us as
we cannot find the right
time of day.
