Risk Assessment

Cast:

Problem:
People that we want to use in video can't make it.
How to overcome this:
Make sure to have a few people as back ups that can step in.
How to prevent this:
Ask people that are reliable and we know well.

Equipment, Location and Mise En Scene:

Problem:
The camera breaks whilst filming.
How to overcome this:
Make sure all files on camera are backed up as soon as possible and make sure another camera is available to use.
How to prevent this:
Make sure camera is secure when using a tripod and use hand strap when using camera hand held.

Problem:
Costume could be unavailable
How to overcome this:
Make sure we have doubles or other costumes we can use and easily get hold of.
How to prevent this:
Make sure source is reliable and we have double checked that the costume will be available in plenty of time before filming.

Problem:
We can't use location we wanted to.
How to overcome this:
Make sure we have other ideas of where we could shoot all parts of the video.
How to prevent this:
Check with owners (if owned) of location.
Check site prior to filming.

Problem:
Lose or can't get hold of props.
How to overcome this:
Make sure to have an alternative idea.
Make sure to have spares or doubles of props.
How to prevent this:
Plan to use props that will be easy to get hold of and make sure we know where we are getting them from prior to filming.

Problem:
Wig doesn't look right.
How to overcome this:
Change the initial idea of what the main character will look like.
How to prevent this:
Try to get hold of a few different wigs from different places so we have a range to choose from.

Editing:

Problem:
Lose files when importing.
How to overcome this:
Make sure all files are backed up at least once.
How to prevent this:
Make sure computer has been used for this kind of work before and is reliable.

Problem:
There are gaps in video when edited to fit lyrics.
How to overcome this:
Make sure we have filmed more footage than we need so we can extend it if we need to.
How to prevent this:
Create a reliable storyboard and shot list to work from.
