Health and safey evidence for filming in the studio with the lights on the 4/12/13

Here is a risk assessment sheet for the filming with the lights in the studio. One risk appeared when I had to move the lights from the classroom down to the studio. This risk was solved as three of us carried the two lights and equipment down meaning that we were not overloaded with equipment that we could possibly drop and injure ourselves with. Moreover, the lights also became extremely hot after filmed, however as we were told previously that the lights were going to be hot we knew not to touch them and therefore did not get burn or injure ourselves. The way to minimise this risk was waiting till it was completely cool and then carrying it back up to the class room.

Storyboards

Here are three storyboards which illsutrate my intentions for my music video. My narrative revolves around a young womens night out. The first shot will be of my model (Hannah) looking rough with her make up smeared all round her face and with her hair messy. I will then fade this shot out so it looks like 'flashbacks' of her night out. I have changed the order of my of the narrative on my storyboard, from the second shot being clips of her starting to get ready and drinking. I then plan to use clips of flashing lights to illustrate the party theme of the narrative to break up each part of the story. I will also use mid shots of Hannah looking into the camera (like the first shot) to break up the clips to. As the song goes on Hannah will slowly loose the 'rough' look and by the end will look like shes is just about to go out.

Diary entry 4/12/13 (and photo of location)

Yesterday I filmed parts of my music video. I filmed in one of the drama rooms where the walls are all black, I then set up the red lights and place a box in front of them. This meant that the lights are included in my music video giving a mysterious and unknown feel, which was made even more apparent with the black walls. I have started to edit my music video but I need to film much more footage. This includes my actor drinking alcohol whilst getting ready which makes her drunk and unstable. I will be using point of view shots to portray this drunk feeling to the audience. My target audience which is 17-26 year olds will be able to relate to this feeling as this generation are known for partying and drinking way to much.

Here is a picture of the setting...

I am very behind in filming and have only filmed a little bit. I plan to film when I go to Calvin Harris with my friend who is also my artist in my music video. Im going to film on my camera phone, even though this wont be the best quality, I think this will be effective as it will give the audience the feel of the crowd and atmosphere. Also Calvin Harris is quite similar to the genre of drum and base so it will capture shots that would be seen in a drum and base concert.

Here is a picture of a type of shot that I want to achieve whilst at Calvin Harris. I took this shot at Wireless 2013 in July when seeing Calvin Harris...

Health and safety evidence from filming outside on the 22/11/13

 

 

 Here is a risk assessment sheet which I have completed for when I filmed outside yesterday. The main risks where moving the lights and also the lights/wires getting wet. Luckily the weather was great and the floor was not wet meaning it was safe to film, however if it did rain I would not of filmed as that would be a health and safety risk and also cause potential damage to the equipment.
