Health and Safety

Before setting out and recording the music video, we decided to write out a Health and Safety sheet to ensure we were prepared and aware of any health hazzerds that we may come across during the filming sessions. Below are the health and safety considerations for both of the two locations in which we filmed.

Camera Safety:

1) Ensure that the camera is working properly and that the battery is inserted safely.

2) Attach the camera to the tripod safely and securely to avoid the camera falling off and hurting a member of the cast or crew.

3) Ensure that the cassette tape is inserted into the camera correctly and not forced.

Location 1: The House

1) Ensure that the space required for filming is clear of any objects on the floor to avoid cast or crew slipping over.

2) Ensure the cast and crew are fully aware of the location of exits and fire alarms within the house.

3) Check for any loose camera wires which may could result in accident and injury.

4) Keep all doors and windows clear and open to access incase needed.

Location 2: The Fields

1) Be cautious for members of the genereal public whilst filming (e.g dog walkers etc) in which to avoid potiential accidents or injuries.

2) Take care when filming on fields to avoid potiential accidents such as rabbit wholes, etc.
