Risk Assessment

We have to evaluate the risks of going to film in the local surgery, it is important to think of all possible problems we could encounter whilst filming in order to try to avoid them.

Risk - Be involved with a car accident whilst walking to the surgery
Location - The roads between the school and surgery
Avoid - The ways in which we can avoid a accident from happening is to remain safe and be very cautious when crossing the roads.

Risk - Tripping and falling in the surgery due to steps/objects
Location - Surgery
Avoid - The way we can avoid any accidents by tripping or falling in the surgery is to be cautious of any steps and be sure to watch out for any medical equipment and other objects.

Risk - Hurt on any medical equipment
Location - Surgery
Avoid - Due to the many sharp objects in the surgery and other dangerous medical equipment/practices there is a risk one of us could get hurt. To avoid this we will be cautious of where we are walking and stay always aware of any dangerous objects.

Risk - Fire
Location - Surgery
Avoid - Although the chance of this risk are low, it is still a valid risk, we can avoid it by if their is a fire, remaining calm, leaving the surgery cautiously and following any further instructions given by the authorities at the surgery.

Location

We have chosen our local doctors surgery to film our preliminary task. The reason we did this is because we wanted find a fitting location that will really recreate the waiting room location seen in the real 'Small Bump' music video. We had to gain permission by the authorities first which we did manage to do and now we can film in this location and obtain footage that will firstly help us with the realness and level of how professional our preliminary task looks but secondly footage good enough for us to breakdown into strengths and weaknesses and to learn from.

Storyboard

I wanted to plan a storyboard to increase efficiency when filming our preliminary task. The reason a storyboard would be so helpful is it would let us know exactly what shots we have to do and for the exact time those shots should be used. This way we will eliminate chance of firstly missing a shot and secondly get the wrong angle/timings of a shot.

Script

It is important to be aware of the lyrics in Ed Sheeran's Small Bump, this way the lip syncing will be accurate and make the music video all round more accurate.

'You're just a small bump unborn in four months you're brought to life,
You might be left with my hair but you'll have your mother's eyes,
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can,
But for now you're just a scan of my unmade plans,
A small bump in four months your brought to life,
And I'll whisper quietly and give you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you.'

Filming Schedule

We have to plan out a filming schedule for our preliminary task as it will increase efficiency and save time.

1:00 PM - Meet in Common room
1:05 PM - Acquire all needed props/costumes/equipment
1:10 PM - Walk to the filming location (surgery)
1:20 PM - Film
1:50 PM - Walk back to school

Permission

We have to gain permission from the doctors surgery to film their. This is essential as we need it to film all our shots in our preliminary task.

Prop List

We need to plan what props we would need to make our recreation of the Small Bump music video by Ed Sheeran more accurate. We must consider clothing and props to help make the video as real as possible, we wanted to be sure we focused upon Mise En Scene.

We plan to use the x-ray printout in one of the shots to make it correctly match the shot in the original video. We plan to use clothing which consisted of that which Ed was wearing in the music video, blue hoodie, blue jeans and nike shoes. Finally we are planning to take a tripod to film some of our shots and a Cannon HD video recorder to film our music video.
