Risk assessment
Bad weather – In some of my shots I will be shooting at ward Jackson Park. I am hoping that it will be sunny because weather like that will fit the mood of my chosen song. I will solve this problem by checking the weather forecast daily.
Deleted footage – If I don’t upload my footage onto my computer and the hand the video camera in, than it will be deleted which means I will have take the footage again. I will solve this problem by uploading my footage after every time I shoot.
Safety in the studio – In the film studio they are a lot of big cables and wires lying around, which are easy to trip over whilst working. I will solve this problem by making sure that the cables and wires have been put to one side which makes them easy to see and miss them.
The public - Ward Jackson Park is a public park, so while I’m shooting, a member of the public could walk in front of my shot or the background, which means ill have to take the shot again. I will solve this problem by asking members of the public to wait whilst I film or before check to see that there is no one walking towards my shot.
Incidental sound – Shooting in public places such as Ward Jackson Park will mean there will be incidental sound coming from traffic and members of the public in the background. I will solve this problem in editing, by editing out the sound in that shot.

Initial ideas
Initial ideas
Locations
I am currently thinking about using my college studio, which has a green screen, which would be useful in more video. Also I might be using a stage at my local music venue called "The Studio" because it will hopefully give of more of a live effect.
Genre
At the moment I am thinking about doing an indie rock genre, artist such as "Mumford & sons", "Arcade Fire" and "Vampire Weekend" to influence myself.
Lighting
Since the genre I am possibly using is normally slower than other poplar music, I am thinking about having slightly dimmed lights so that it was fit the mood of the song, and I might have very bright lights for others to illustrate some parts of the song.
Shot types
In my video I am thinking of having a lot of long shots because it will capture the whole of the performer (meat shot) and it will establish the shots. In a stereotypical indie rock music video, a lot of long shots are also used to capture the full band or artist.
Costumes and props
I am thinking about using acoustic guitars as props, because this is commonly used in indie rock music videos
Main performance
The main performance will most likely be done by myself. I will try to act like the actual performer by being random and spontaneous in my performance.
