Risk Type Details of Risk Ways to minimise risk Person(s) Responsible

Tripping over wires

Due to using a camera and lighting there is a lot of wire on the floor that can be easily tripped over, there will also be plugs and extensions.

I will tape all of the wiring to the floor, and make sure areas like lights and cameras are free of any other equipment like bags and clothing. The tape will be a bright colour to warn people of the danger.

Leaving lighting on Electrical fire caused by overheating. Making sure the lights are only on when we are using them, this will minimise risk and cost of lighting areas

Leaving lighting on

As the lights are used more frequently over a period of time they become hotter and can cause a burn to the person involved.

Turning the lights off when they are not is used. As well as warning people of their risk, and checking that my actor is not too hot, offering them water or time out of the shoot.

Damage to equipment

With a lot of expensive equipment, there is a lot that could break or become damaged, especially when using water.

I will be making sure people do not take the equipment for granted as well as checking the equipment regularly. I will also have to make sure everything is waterproof, or away from the water.

Drowning As my actor will be falling into water and pretending to bob.

Making sure that my actor can swim, is able to swim at least 25 meters, and is confident in cold water.

People forgetting props

If my actor doesn’t bring the correct clothing, or any props like the cardboard box we’re using the shoot cannot go ahead

I will call in advance and make sure my actor has everything she needs

People not knowing lines

My actor may need to know some lines which will be cut into the music video

I will give a copy of my shot list and script to my actor so she can learn the lyrics she needs to

Locations being unavailable

I am using a number of locations to make my video look authentic

I will ring any indoor locations and book in advance to make sure they are available.

Alfie Green

Batteries If batteries are not charged then I will not be able to film or record audio

I will charge up my batteries the night before and make sure I have all the correct adaptors and plugs

Alfie Green

Interruptions from members of public

Some of my areas are open to the public and risk off interruption is high

Whilst filming I will have to make sure I am in as much of a closed set as I can make it, and otherwise work around the public, or put signs up noting them that they may be filmed

Alfie Green

Weather If it rains it could affect the filming if I need to use lights

I am using a waterproof camera for any outdoor shooting as I will be close to the sea, so if it is raining or little light I may not be able to film

Alfie Green

Clothing not fitting or working

When filming I want to make sure that all my clothing works well on camera

I will make my actor show me a number of outfit options so that I can make sure the clothing works on camera

Alfie Green

Actor availability My actor is key to my music video working, I will need to make sure she is available

I will keep in close contact with my actor so that I know when they are free so we can film
