Risk Assessment


Location
Possible risks to health and safety of you and the equipment
Avoidance strategies
Hadley walkway/park
-       The camera equipment may be in the way and someone could trip over it, hurting themselves, and damaging the camera and other equipment.
-       This area can be especially dark at night, and as it is winter, it gets dark earlier, so it could get too dark for filming.
-       People frequently walk past, as it is a public area, so they could get in the way of some shots.
-       Outdoors is especially risky due to the weather being unpredictable. If it is raining the equipment could get wet, or if it is too windy the equipment could blow over and break.
-       Make sure that when the camera equipment is not in use, it is put to one side and not in the middle of the path or grass, in order to avoid accidents.
-       Ensure that filming starts earlier so that it does not get dark when we film here.
-       Make sure that no one is around when filming, avoiding people getting in the way of the camera.
-       Assure that when we are filming outside, the weather is appropriate and dry, so that the equipment does not get damaged.

Ellie’s house on Marriott Road
-       There is a possible risk of people getting in the way of the camera and the filming, as Ellie has a little brother, and two pets.

-       Make sure they don’t get in the way by keeping the pets out of the room that we are filming in.

Storyboard




Establishing shot: we will start our music video with some establishing shots to show off the autumnal setting we are location the music video in.





Two shots: we will then be using a lot of two shots of a couple in love. They will be kissing, play fighting (to show its a young couple) and walking together.








Close up of phone: when the music changes to a much slower, sad pace the narrative of our music video will change as the male character will text the female character saying he loves her and she will panic and delete the text.






Single shots: we will then use single shots of the two characters alone looking sad. This will shot the potential split between the two.







Shots of the artist singing: Throughout this music video we will use various shots (e.g. long shots, close ups, low angle shots) of the artist singing the song in the same locations our narrative is being shot. This shows the artist tell the story between the couple and also shows her own personal feelings through facial expressions which indicates a possible link to a situation she may have experienced herself.


Reunited: Once the music goes back to its original pace, we will show shots of the couple reuniting and showing the love and affection once again.












Reunited: By making our characters reunite not only follows the songs narrative about the girl still having strong feelings for the boy but just to ready to say the words 'i love you' but also give our music video and romantic fantasy like story by it having a 'happily ever after' ending.
