Equipment/Location Booking

Below is an image of a permission letter which was given to me by my teacher, in which concerns whether or not I will be needing to borrow camera equipment or not. It was important that I handed this form in as if I didn't I would have not been able to book out the equipment I needed to film my music video.





I had to make sure I booked the studio before hand to ensure I would be able to use it when I wanted to, as many people from my media class also wanted to use it. I booked the studio by going to the technician and asking if it was available at a certain time, and if it was he would enter the information (such as my name, the location and what time I wanted to use it) into a database. On the day of using it, I would need to go to him to collect the key in which I would need to open and lock the location when entering and leaving.

Risk Assessments

I completed 3 risk assessments for the 3 locations I am going to be shooting in. These included my bedroom, South Norwood Country Park and the school studio. My risk assessments consisted of information on the hazards that were possible, how serious they would be, who they would affect and how these could be prevented.
