Health and Safety

When shooting our video we made sure that all cast and crew knew of the possible hazzards and risks of filming in a room. These risks included things such as fire hazzards, cables trailing accros the floor, dark lighting, live electrical sockets in the walls and tripod legs sticking out.This is an example of the risk assessment form we had to fill out every time we booked out the cameras and equipment as well as the Tv Studio. Health and safety is a very important factor to think about when planning to shoot a music video as the safety of the crew and actors comes before anything else. The safety precautions we took were good practise for industry and the real world. Another reason is that will be able to have a smooth as possible production experience if we make sure that all health and safety has been thought about and dealt with.

As well as the risk assessment form I made a call sheet for the group, actors and I. The call sheet is a simple list of everyone working on the film with a reference to their contact details such as mobile phone number and/or email address. This enables the group and I to be able to contact one another at any stage of the production. The call sheet is a vital document as it enables me to save time and allows me to contact anyone involved in the filming at short notice. My call sheet is on a sheet of paper as well as on my mobile phone so that if I do not have the sheet I can use my phone instead. I have the numbers of the group-film crew, the actors, the media technician Craig as well as contact details of my teachers. It is vital to be organised at all stages of the project, from start to end.
