Research and planning: Locations + health and safety

When considering the location of our music video, we had to take in to consideration several different aspects. Firstly, the weather conditions are fairly unpredictable at the moment, with lots of snow often followed by rain. We had to think about whether it would be sensible to film outside at the time of year we are hoping to, and if we did want to, the whereabouts of this. At college, we have a large wooded area which appears to be the perfect place to film because there is a lot of room and it is easily accessible to all performers/cast members and filming crew. We also had to take into consideration the risk aspect of filming in the woods because we had to think about what could happen. We analysed the situation and decided that there was little risk when in the woods, except for falling over or getting wet with rain. We have thought about the weather and decided the video would be fine to film in most weather conditions and are not worried about wind or rain or snow or sunshine.. As you can see by the picture below the surroundings are ideal for us to work in as it fits in with the genre we are aiming for and gives off an indie feel ...
















Whenever doing any work we have to think about the health and safety issues and complete a risk assesment to assess any dangers that we may come across and figure out how we can do our best to prevent anything from going wrong. Belwo is a risk assesment i have filled in for working outdoors, as you can see there are not too many hazards but it is still essential for our well being that we do this...
