Risk Assessment.

For this section I have identified the risks that may occur whilst producing our music video. This will help us plan more in advance and help us recognise any obstacles that get in the way of filming. We must also ensure that our actors are safe at all times whilst being filmed. Below is the risk assessment I have constructed:
