Risk Assessment

Activity
What is the risk?
What can you do to prevent the risk?
Risk Factor
Crossing Roads.
Filming up London we will have to cross many busy roads. There is a risk of me or one of my group members getting hit by a car.
To prevent this, my group and I will make sure we always use a crossing (if one is available). We will also make sure we are aware of our surroundings at all times.
High
Traveling to and from our destination.
We will have to get trains and tubes to reach our several destinations. There could be a risk of one of us falling on the tracks.
To prevent this we will make sure we are calm and don’t rush anywhere.
High
Traveling in rush hour.
We expect to be finished filming around 5-6pm. As this is rush hour the trains and streets will be very busy. There could be a potential risk of my group and I getting split up in the crowd.
To prevent this we will all make sure we save our phone battery throughout the day so if one of us does get lost we can contact each other.
Medium
Handling glass.
Another location we will be filming at is my house. When filming here we will be handling glass. There could be a risk of someone dropping the glass and further resulting in someone cutting themselves.
To prevent this we will make sure we don’t mess around when handling the glass.
Low
Painting.
We plan to use paint to smudge over our artist’s body. This could potentially get into someone’s eye or on someone’s clothes.
We will be very careful when applying this and also wash our hands after wards to prevent this.
Low
Tripping over wires.
When filming inside we will have wires around because of lighting that we will be using, therefore someone could trip.
Before we begin to film we will make sure we all know where hazard wires may be and also try to make the walk space we are using as clear as possible.
Low
Weather.
Our artist will have to stand in a range of clothing outside and inside. If she is wearing an outfit that reveals her arms and legs she could become cold as we are in winter. Also the other members of the group could become cold whilst filming too.
To prevent this we will all make sure we wrap up warm and have a coat on standby   for everyone who will be filmed.
Medium
Falling off Skateboard.
We are filming using a skateboard, however our actress has never used one and isn’t steady on it. We need to be careful that when using the board she doesn't fall off and injure herself.
To prevent this we will make sure she takes her time with what she is trying to do and practices beforehand.
Medium
Round about in park.
Playing on the round-about in the park we need to be careful one of us doesn't fall off or get our foot stuck under it when trying to spin.
Although in the shot the actors are supposed to be messing around, when filming we will be very conscious of what we are doing.

Hair & Make-up Tutorials



This make-up tutorial is exactly what we want our artist to look like. We want our audience to focus mainly on her lips, due to our concept, which is colour. To achieve this we have decided that the rest of our artists make-up will be simple. This will hopefully also draw attention to the lyrics of the song as the audience will be focusing on her lips and their movement.
We  feel this is a good look for our artist because we want to portray her as a conventional pop artist with an edge. Having one thing stand out about her ?(her lips) will give her this edge.




My group and I plan to have a lot of close up lip shots in our music video therefore we wanted to do something different. We will use ordinary lip sticks for most shots however this could become boring for viewers so we have ordered 'Lip Tattoo's' which will make our video more unique.



This will be the hair of the characters and the artist, this is as its simple but its also very effortless and it doesn't distract the audience from her make-up, as its the focal piece.

Re-created Digipak


Here is our re created digipak. We recreated the Britney Spears digi pack, at first we though it would be easy but as we progressed we found out that its hard to get a good angle, and the make the "moody" look work so I have learnt I would rather make a much more fun and colourful digipack.

Possible Names For Our Artist



We wanted an unusual name (like most other pop stars) that would stand out and make a statement. Here are some names we came up with and that we liked. To decide our final name for our artist we will create a survey to give out in our class and to other students to see which name they think suits our artist and which name stands out the most.

Our choices are -

Ivy Moore
AJ Sosa
Drew Vinson
Aaliyah
Skye Hamilton
Reese Blake

My personal favourite is Ivy Moore. Ivy is an uncommon name and therefore stands out, I also thing it suits our artists look and the song well.
