Risk Assessment

For every music video created, there is a risk assessment. This is to protect both the people in the video, and the people creating the video. A Risk assessment takes into consideration all of the hazards that may occur during the production of our video. It covers all sorts of occurrences that may occur, depending upon where and how the video is to be shot.

As our film is a very basic set, and will only require a camera on a tripod for filming the different people sing the Toploader song, there are very few hazards that may occur which will impact upon our video. Meaning our video is a low risk production. However there will still be the possibility for some hazards to occur, one of which is fall of equipment e.g. tripod. The severity of this hazard is very low, but it may be quite likely to happen. How we will prevent this from happening is that we will ensure that our equipment is stable before we use it.

The only real likely hazard that may occur will be if our actors injure themselves during production. The severity of this will depend upon the situation. For example our film set will be a static structure set in certain places i.e. either in school, or in the local town of Lutterworth or Leicester. Then our actors will also be static, apart from instrumental parts of the song where they will be required to dance. So the only real chance of them falling over is resulted from our equipment.

Apart from tripping hazards, there is no other real threat that could harm anyone involved in the production of our Toploader music video. We aren't using any special effects, temporary structures, vehicles, weapons, and we will only be using natural lighting - so there is no risk of any burns etc. So all the actors in our video should be fairly safe, and shouldn't be harmed by many hazards.
