Risk

Why is it a risk?

How can it be
prevented?

Likeliness (110)

Camera running out of battery.

This could stop me from being

able to film.

8 Very likely

Not being able to book

equipment.

The equipment that I plan to use

belongs to the school and is
rented out to students. If other
students have the equipment, I
would not be able to film at all
film at all.

Not enough storage on SD card.

This would stop me from being

able to film all the necessary
shots, as well as slowing down
the filming process.

Taylor (main actress) becomes

ill.
Lighting kit doesnt work/bulb
breaks

We would not have another

actress to film with.
This would mean that I would not
have the correct lighting to film
and the video quality would be
poor. Dramatic lighting is a key
feature in my music video,
therefore meaning that, without
it, the video would not be to a

1. Make sure that the battery

is fully charged before
filming
2. Charge up a spare battery
to use if needed
1. Book it out in advance
2. Make a list of the
equipment I need and
when I need it and make
the technician aware of
this
3. Find alternative sources of
equipment if needed
1. Clear SD card before
filming
2. Frequently put footage on
the computer so the
camera can be cleared
Non-Preventable
1. Check the lighting kit
before taking it home.
2. Have spare bulbs just in
case the bulbs break

Actress cannot make the shoot.

Bad weather.

Location Fails.

proficient quality.
If the actress cancels shooting
on the set day, I am in danger of
not being able to meet the
filming deadline.
If the Flycam breaks, my shots
would not have smooth
transitions and I would have to
move the camera by hand. This
runs the risk of my shots
becoming shaky and disjointed,
furthermore ruining the mood
and the atmosphere.
This would affect any outside
shots as it would make it harder
to film. This also means that the
area would become muddy and
unsafe to be in, as well as
making the experience not
pleasurable for the actors. It
would also affect costume and
makeup, as well as ruining the
aesthetics of the location.
If I am unable to shoot in the
garage or the open wooded area
I will have to change my original
ideas.

1. Arrange a day to film way

before the deadline to
allow time for cancelations

6 Possibility

1. Test the Flycam before

hand
2. Practice shooting by hand
3. Find alternative way of
keeping the shots steady

7- Likely

1. Check weather forecasts

in advance
2. Plan alternative days to
shoot

9 Very likely

1. Verify locations before

shooting
2. Find alternative locations
