Risk Assessment

When in consideration of the possible hazards that may affect the production of my music video I had to be analytical on what possible could be done to prevent these risks.

1- A preliminary precaution that had to be taken was that, we had to formulate an agreement between the actors and ourselves and disclaim what would be expected of them as they acted in the production and they had to be aware of the possible risks which in this case were; as they would be doing a lot of staged running whilst in an anguished state, they could possibly trip or fall on pavement or stairs whilst acting, therefore they would have to have been extra vigilant towards this for prevention.

2- Another risk would have been the access to film within a train station, as we were not previously aware of the policy against filming within a train station, we were at high risk of getting caught and possibly prosecuted without warning. However, following the filming session a worker at harold wood station later approached us and told us that it was prohibited to film in any train station and it could lead to immediate arrest, this was a verbal warning. If we had accessed this information at an earlier stage in the development of the project I would have avoided filming at  train station and thought of an alternative solution or another shot to put into the sequence.

3- As we were filming the staged club environment within the blue screen room, we were aware that filming would take place in darkness and minimal light would have been provided by the crane lights in the studio. Therefore it was of paramount importance that the crowd would not get hurt whilst dancing, trip on any wires or hit the fog machine and damage any other electrical appliances. To prevent this occurrence we  duck taped all wiring to the ground and ensured any/all appliances and electrical sockets were at a sufficient distance away from the dance floor.

4- As I was watching back over the first draft of the music video and i noticed that as there are loads of flashing jump cuts in between various scene. this could have a possible epilepsy hazard . to disclaim epileptic viewers i will disclaim that this video contains flashing images within the description in the final draft on youtube.
