Risk Assesment

In order to create a good music video, certain precautions must be considered to keep the environment safe. In our music video we have shot in various locations and a risk assessment is appropriate towards it. Shooting in London is the main risk, as there is a reasonably high crime rate. Therefore, we had to be careful on the journey and in London itself.
1) Getting on and off the train was important as sometimes it can become a risk. Especially when there is a gap between the platform and the train.
2) Making sure equipment is also checked on the journey in case it becomes risk to us and others around us. Also without equipment in top form we can’t make a good music video.
These two risks are very small but small risks can become exploited and therefore, become disastress. These were main risks to look out for on the journey. However, bellow is risks we had to keep in mind for when we were in London.
1) As London is a very big and busy place we had to make sure we were aware of what was around us. For example roads and people, where the location was compared to what risks we may face. Filming next to a road could become dangerous as it may distract drivers and people around us might not want to be filmed and therefore, they may get angry so we might have become at risk.
2) Filming in a very busy train station could cause multiple risks. Due to the amount of trains around. Getting to close to the tracks may also be a risk as we could fall and injure ourselves.
3) Making sure again, that equipment was in good shape and that we always had an eye on it, because it may have been noticed by others and could be stolen or arguments may come into hand.
4) Using the equipment properly is also important because it may be a risk to us if we use it wrong. An injury may occur.
5) We also covered all areas of safety by having our mobile phones in case there was a problem. We knew the important emergency numbers we may have needed to use and most importantly our parents knew where and what we were doing.
6) Time awareness is also important because losing track of time may enable us to a risk in London to some members of the public.
These are the risks we had to keep in consideration when we were in London. Keeping to these are very important. Even those some of these are very minor again small risks can become big ones if they are not watched properly.
Our final filming location was in school. School is a lot safer than London and risk assessments were a lot easier to make.
1) Making sure our location was out the way of any other pupils and classrooms that may have risk such as the D.T rooms.
2) Making sure the area that we were filming in was safe to the environment. For example any plug sockets or equipment left out was out the way because they may cause risks to us producing the video.

Each of these assessments are all important risks to keep in consideration when we are filming to make sure that we are safe and to make sure the equipment is safe.
