Health and Safety

When we came to filming our music video there were a number of precautions we had to take in the way of Health and Safety to avoid damage to any persons involved in the video and any of the equipment. We made sure to not do any filiming outside when it was raining and when transporting the camera and other equipment made sure it was well covered in case of rain. Most of our filiming was done on location, inside buildings that are still in use for example when we were filming in the home we put extra precautions in to making sure the set was completely free of unnesessary clutter on the floor as it is a trip hazard which becomes all the more dangerous when actors are focusing on acting and the camera operator is focusing on filming as you are less aware of any objects on the floor. Whenever the camera was transported any long distance is was always put in its case to minimise any damage if it was dropped. Even for short movements, from shot to shot the camera was always taken off its tripod to be moved to a new locations. For the band part of the music video to make it look more realistic we had leads and wires plugged into the guitars so the camera operator was made to stay well away from trailing leads as they are trip hazard. We also made sure that there was leads used as props without an important cause to minimize any trip hazards. It was also important that we had contact information of everyone taking part in the music video so that we can properly organise film dates. Here is the contact information sheet that was present at all filming sessions.
