Revised Health and Safety

Although as a group we already had a discussion of the health and safety issues that we needed to consider, after adjusting our music video concept, a revised health and safety list seems appropriate to ensure the success of our filming. 


Black Studio:



Bright lights - As a light is going directly behind the actress we now need to be aware of the lights behind the camera so that members of our group are careful not to look directly at it.



Wires - We will have wires when straightening hair so we must be cautious of this but also when we use a fan, we must ensure no-one trips over it. We will also use an extension lead and so to overcome this hazard we can tape the wires to the floor. 


Material covering the floor - We are using black material to cover the floor but this will be loose as we will bring this to the studio. Therefore for the safety of our actress we will tape this to the floor so it is stable to stand on. 


Moving Cameras - As we have decided to mainly use the steering wheel for capturing footage, the camera person will be continually moving. This means before shooting we should know what shot they plan to film so that others can ensure their pathway is clear. 




Street Location:

Camera person walking backwards - There will be many shots of the actress walking forward in this scene hence the camera person will be tracking backwards. To ensure their safety, another member of the group will walk along the side of the street out of shot to oversee the route the camera person is walking. 


Obstructing the public - We will be filming on a public street and therefore we must be aware of the general public this means we must not obstruct by-standers and re-film if a collision is imminent. 


Holding Equipment - We will have bags and other pieces of equipment not being used all the time; we must keep these belongings with us so they are not liable to be stolen. 


Costume: High Heels - The actress will be wearing high heels in this scene and we must not walk too fast, limiting the likelihood of the actress falling. 




Flashbacks: Pub/ House


Pub:
Obstructing public - The general public will be leisurely sitting in the bar and we must ensure minimal disruption and try to limit getting in people's way. Alternatively we must ensure no harm comes to the expensive equipment we are using. 


Using pool cues - Our actors will be playing a game of pool and as the pub is not very big we must be aware not to hit others when focusing on hitting the balls.

House:
Aware of valuables - We are using a member of our group's house and therefore we must be respectful to the environment we are working in and ensure we are not a hazard to any valuable items such as televisions etc.
