Risk Assessment

Here is my risk assessment for the filming of my A2 media project, there are only four incidents that have a reasonable chance to occur when filming my music video.

In the first section the risk priority is medium, because being hit by a car can result in death. However, we have specifically chosen a quiet road and have chosen to film during school hours. The road we will use is the road into the school and we had clear view all of the way down both roads for at least fifty metres, this would allow ample time to move out of the way safely if a car approaches us.

Final Song Choice

My final choice for the song I will use will be Metallica's version of ''Whiskey In The Jar''. I have chosen this because Metallica's music video had no reference to the lyrics of the song (Metallica's video below):

Because of this I believe it will be easy to avoid copying or seeming similar to their video, as my music video will have a strong link between the lyrics and the visuals.

Draft Shooting Script Feedback

This is the feedback I received for my draft shooting script, I will improve my final shooting script by using as much of the suggestions in my feedback as possible.

Shooting Script (Handwritten Draft)

This is the draft shooting script that I created with the intentions of getting feedback for my initial plan for the music video:

Permission Request: An Email To Metallica

Here is the email I sent to Metallica and the reply that I received, which confirmed I was allowed to use Metallica's song in my music video:

My first song choice

I have decided that my first choice of song is Metallica's cover of Whiskey In The Jar (below)

This is because all of the feedback I received during my potential ideas feedback said that this would be the best idea out of the four possible ideas I had pitched.

I personally thought that this was my weakest idea, however after receiving feedback for each of my pitches I found that Satellite and Whiskey In The Jar received the most positive comments.
