RISK ASSESMENT

RISK) Camera running out of charge or battery

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) If this happens we will be unable to film all of the necessary footage we need for our music video, thus leading to another day filming or an unfinished music video

PREVENTION) As this is a likely risk that may occur as we require a tremendous amount of footage for our music video. To prevent or overcome this risk, we will bring a spare charger and also a spare memory card and battery, to ensure we can film all of the footage. Therefore, we will be prepared in case this does happen.

RISK) Actor not showing up to filming

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) As we are using an actor from outside of our media coursework group, the actor may not turn up or be able to make the shooting time.

PREVENTION) To prevent this from happening, there will be a lot of communication taking place between the media group and actor. This will ensure that we are able to make the time as well as the actor. Also we have back up actors for the worst case scenarios.

RISK) WEATHER

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) As some of our filming will take place outside, extreme or severe weather may result in us being unable to shoot our music video.

PREVENTION) We will carry out extensive weather research to make sure the day and times we have decided to film will not rain or have extreme weather. If it does happen then we will dedicate that shooting time to parts of the music video that are not outside.

RISK) PROPS BREAKING

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) For example, if the roulette table breaks, as this is a significant prop in our music video, it is essential that it does not break.

PREVENTION) We will have substitute props to use, for example cards or poker.

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) As we will be using cameras, tripods, backdrop, lighting equipment, there is a possibility that it may break.

RISK) NOT FINISHING FILMING IN TIME

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) As our music video will consist of vast amount of shots and locations, this will take an extremely long time to film.

PREVENTION) Due to our extensive research carried out in the group, and a lot of preparation and careful consideration with our shooting schedule, we hope to meet all set deadlines with ease.

RISK) MIS-COMMUNICATION

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) This may lead to not being able to shoot when we need too and also not being able to hire the essential equipment from school when we need to shoot the music video,

PREVENTION) We will make sure there is sufficient communication between MBD and the actors so there is no confusion about filming times etc.

Mis-communication

RISK) THE LIGHTING EQUIPMENT BREAKS

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) It could prevent us from filming as this is an essential piece of equipment, especially for the performance aspect of our music video as the emotions may not be fully conveyed.

PREVENTION) We will be extremely careful with this equipment and remove any hazards.

RISK) MEMORY ON SD CARD RUNS OUT

WHAT WILL THIS CAUSE) This is essential as we need to have enough memory in order for us to capture all of the footage we need.

PREVENTION) Therefore we will delete any unnecessary footage already on the SD card and we will also bring a spare SD card when we film.
