Risk Assessment

As Director I am responsible for the majority of these risks, however it is important to remember that general health and safety rules and “common sense” should be adhered to at all times.

Risk Identified Shooting Location ResponsibilityStrategy to Overcome /

Prevention

Illness / injury All Me / Glenn / BrandonDon’t get ill, wrap up. If am just get over it really nothing much I can do.

Actor Inconveniences / Clashes All Me / Glenn / BrandonIf other people are unable to attend I will have to call for them and make them come out

Weather Outdoors Unavoidable

I will have to check the weather before going out to make sure that it will be suitable weather for recording. I will also have to make sure its not raining and it’s not too cold so people will come out.

Memory card full / formatting malfunction

All Me (Writer Producer Director)

I will have to make sure that I have fully charged the camera before I take it out, I will also have to take two different memory cards encase one of them is full or decides not to work.

Broken Equipment All Me (Writer Producer Director)

I will mostly just have to make sure that the camera works because every other piece of isn’t being worked, as long as they look like they work then we should be okay.

Low battery All Me (Writer Producer Director)

The camera will be charged the night before each shoot so that it is full charged for when we want to record. I will also try and charge it on location as much as we can.

Not getting props / costumes on time All Me (Writer Producer Director) I will have to make sure I go

shopping before the recording date to get all of the props.

Actor gives poor performance All Me / Brandon / Glenn

I will have to make sure the actors are in an environment that they are happy with working in and don’t get embarrassed so that the performance can be as best as they can.

Lighting All Me / Unavoidable

Although most of the lighting will not be down to me I can use torches or different angles to use the light to my advantage.

Location safety / unavailable All Me (Writer Producer Director)

As I am doing my recording in a public arena I will have to clear anything thing out of the way so that no one trips over and gets injured. I will also have to make sure we don’t record on the road so that there aren’t any accidents while recording or acting.

Trip hazards Class room and Outside Me (Writer Producer Director)

Again before recording I will have to clear the area so that the actors or cameramen wont fall over while recording. I will also have to clean up the studio while editing so that no one falls over and destroy the computers

Public interference Outside Me (Writer Producer Director) Because my outdoor shooting locations are in busy public areas, there may be times when the public interference and that could be a bit awkward or troublesome. To combat this I will have to record most of the parts of the movie when people aren’t around because this could put

people off and we could get heckled.

Traffic Outside (Burn Valley) Me (Writer Producer Director)

Hartlepool is pretty busy in terms of traffic so we will have to record when there are very little cars around so that the sounds of the cars don’t drown out the movie audio.

Electricals Studios

Before editing the movie I will have to make sure that the college has power so that we are able to edit the video. If we file to do this I will have to edit the video in my house.

Software Post-production Editing Suite Me / Unavoidable

The software used for post-production (Final Cut) might crash when editing if this happens I may lose of my editing.

General Health & Safety All Me / Glenn / Brandon

It is important than general health and safety and common sense is used at all times so that no one gets hurts or any accidents happen.

Video not following conventions N/A Me (Writer Producer Director) It is important to maintain a balance between following conventions and being creative. I have created a script that I would like people to stick to but I am will to allow some creativity in the responses.

Video is not creative N/A Me (Writer Producer Director)

Budgetary issues N/A Me / Brandon / Glenn

The budget for my video will be very low so I will have to get props that don’t cost a lot. Most of the props we could probably get at hole just lying around.
