Research and Planning- Health and Safety

Health and Safety;
Potential Danger
Potential Outcomes
Actions to Avoid Potential Outcomes
Benefits to filming in this Location
Do the Benefits outweigh the Risks?
Getting cold outside.
Actors and crew who are helping can get ill from the cold.
Make sure when off camera all actors and crew are wearing coats to keep them warm.
Everybody involved is in charge of bringing and putting on their own coat to keep warm.
yes
Tripping over the tripod.
Actors, crew and members of the public could end up injured.
Keep the tripod out the way of the public as much as possible and make it clear that there’s a potential danger. Eg- gaffer tape around the area of the tripod
I’ll take responsibility for putting down gaffer tape if I use the tripod and wherever I place the tripod.  
yes
Laura’s high heels.
She could trip over and injure herself.
Do as little movement as possible whilst wearing the shoes, if a change of location takes place then the shoes must be changed to sensible ones.
Laura is responsible for bringing her own pair of sensible shoes but i will make sure she changes them.
yes
Tripping over lighting kit power cables.
Injuring self. Electrocution.
Cables are to be gaffer taped to the floor for the duration of the shoot.
This will be my responsibility to make sure i have the gaffer tape and all cables are taped down.

Research and Planning- Cast

Laura Davis;
Main girl (the star/ singer)
Laura will be the main girl and therefore will be performing the narrative parts and I will also have her just singing in various locations. I think she's suitable because she has the right style, and i know she's reliable to work with.
















 Rob Maddison;
Main Guy; He'll only be performing the narrative parts of my music video. I think he's suitable because i feel he has the "right look". Rob and Laura also already know each other, and therefore will have the right sort of chemistry I'm looking for in my video. Laura and Rob also live close together, which is close to my location where the majority of the video will be filmed, therefore I know he'll be reliable.
