Aims:

• Find any risks with filming and locations of filming.

The locations for the filming were all very domestic in the sense i didn’t have to travel very far in order to do any filming. however, that doesn’t mean there were no risks involved.

Firstly, this front of the house has a few cars in the drive and so could become a hazard for example if one is leaving the house we would need to be mindful not to get run over. As well as this I’d need to make sure its okay with the owner of the cars if it is ok to film around them. Luckily it was ok but I have had to blur the numberplates.

This raises a very similar risk seeing as it is a segment of the filming made on the road, we would need to be careful of vehicles leaving driveways which might be a risk to us as well as the natural traffic which is on the road.

If an accident was to happen I’d also need to make sure that an emergency contact was easy to access I.E. calling 999 or a legal guardian in the nearby area.

Finally the last location which posed a real threat was at the park, its is a public place so being vigilant at all times is better for everyone’s safety. Furthermore, at the back of the goal which is where we went a couple of time, there is fast flowing stream which can be a problem if someone falls in and cant swim causing them to drown and will therefore require medical assistance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• All locations of filming pose a risk some much more than others and it is important that I am aware of any risks so that I am able to keep not just myself safe but also my actors who play a major role in the music video.
• knowing the risks is better than just assuming because life is unpredictable and anything could happen anywhere and at anytime.
