Risk assessment

I have created a risk assessment for my music video so that i am able to prevent all of the things that could cause risk for my actors and myself.

Risk
Who would it affect?
How can it be prevented?
·       Falling off the stage.
·       Actors/singer
·       Me (Camera operator)
·       White markings will be put on the edge of the stage to make sure that it is clear for them to see.
·       Lights falling from the ceiling of the stage.
·       Singer
·       Me (Camera operator)
·       Put white tape on the floor where the lights are and ensure that nobody steps under them.
·       Wires on the stage.
·       Singer
·       Me (Camera operator)
·       Make sure that all of the wires go around the stage so that nobody trips over.

Music

The music that i have chosen to use for my coursework is the song The Voice Within by the well known and worshipped artist Christina Aguilera, i have decided to use this song because i feel that it tells the story that i am trying to portray within my video, it is all about a girl being teased for her size and also how people make her feel about her size, i feel that the lyrics go very well with the story that i am going to tell in my video...here is the link for you to watch it on youtube:

...and here are the lyrics:

Young girl don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl it’s alright
Your tears will dry, you’ll soon be free to fly

When you’re safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing’s harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

Chorus:
When there’s no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength that will guide your way
You’ll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Young girl don’t hide
You’ll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight
Soon you’re gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It’s so hard to stand your ground when you’re so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside look inside to your soul

Chorus
When there’s no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength that will guide your way
You’ll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you’re learning
You’ll find all you’ll ever need to know
(be strong)
You’ll break it
(hold on)
You’ll make it
Just don’t forsake it because
No one can tell you what you can’t do
No one can stop you, you know that I’m talking to you

Chorus
When there’s no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength that will guide your way
You’ll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Young girl don’t cry I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
