Risk Assessment

Below is the risk assessment I made for filming my music video.  I had to take the following things into account:

Location Shots

Location Shots:

26th October: Leigh Technology Academy Lecture Theatre

The day in the lecture theatre went very well.  We only had about 4 hours filming time however.  We were due to start at about 8am, but didn't start until 9am.  This only left us with 3 hours.  However, this wasn't a problem.  The other people performing in the band were very good and we kept the filming up for the majority of the 3 hours.  I ended up with alot more film than I needed, which gave me a very good collection to choose. 


Because I was singing in this band section, my friend had to hit the record button for me.  However, I moved the camera around the room and zoomed in and out to where I wanted it.

28th October: Joyden's Wood, Bexley



Filming in Joyden's Wood went very well.  Most of the actors live in this area, and know their way around Joyden's Wood.  This saved us a lot of time with finding the exact areas I wanted to film in.  I got all the footage I needed on this one day which was good, and the weather was clear.  


Mostly the actors were serious when I was filming them, but of course there were some moments where they had to have a break because of laughing too much, or bursting into laughter during the film.  However, this did add to the fun factor of the filming.  It meant that everyone had a really interesting, fun day.


I had to get my friend to film the section in which I had to sing.  I set up the camera using the viewing screen to make sure I was centered.  

28th October: House, Eynsford

Filming at my house went okay.  However I struggled with it being dark outside, getting the light settings right.  


In the end it was too dark to film outside so we did it early the next morning.  


Also I found my dogs enjoyed getting in the way of the filming and had to shut them in another room until we had finished indoors.

Experimenting With Fonts

Below is a page showing some of the fonts that I liked.  I used each with the band name to see how it suited the band.  I then picked the 3 which I thought looked best, added colour and the song name.  I chose green because my music video is set in a forest, and this will probably work best.

This has helped me because I now have a narrowed down idea of wants I am wanting to use for the final digipak.
