Here is the risk assessment for the first day filming of my music video. I've highlighted the most likely risks I may come across during filming and come up with ways in which to avoid each hazard.

Shot List Filming Day 1
This is the final shot list for 08.12.13 for the filming of the music video. I went through the song and planned out every shot I needed, exactly how long the shot needed to be and exactly where the shot was going to be within the time scale of the song. I have also colour coordinated the shot list to show witch shots have priority and what will be filmed and when. I printed off a copy to take with me on the day so that It would be easy to get though the shots needed efficiently.
Props
In the music video there wont be many props. I want to keep the shots with the artist as simple as possible. The one prop I would like to use is a vintage snow globe. I want this to be the focus of some shots and be a kind of symbol for the video. So that if the audience of the video will see a snow globe similar to the one in the video they will associate it with this video.
Here are some images of the snow globe:
I really like the intricate detail on the prop and so I would like to use some extreme closeups of the snow globe within the video to allow the audience to see the detail of it.
Editing Research and Testing
For my music video I would like to add some effects to my footage to create more atmosphere within the video.
Colour Corrector
I liked the idea of using a colour corrector on the footage, this slightly changes the overall look of the colours in the clip. I know this effect is available in my own editing software, which is Sony Vegas Movie Studio 10. Here are the options which can be changed to get various effects.
After taking some practice footage and spending some time chopping and changing the settings within this effect, I found three different colour changes that could work well with my footage. The first is changing the colours to look more 'blue'.
The footage looks cooler and has a darker feel to it. Although this colour matches the connotations of the season it doesn't work as well with the overall feel of the song, as the song itself has a much brighter feel. But this still could be used in flashbacks or in the outside footage.
The second is a much warmer feel.
The orange, red and yellow colour channels have been increased so that these colours are prominent. I feel that this colour would work best for most of the inside footage as the spotlights I'm using emit a warm light and by adding this colour would further emphasize the meaning behind the song.
The last is a mix of the two.
Where the low light has the blue channel increased whilst the highlights and mid tones have the red, yellow and orange colours increased. this gives the effect of the shadows looking a dark shade of blue and the highlights on objects and the setting appear warmer in colour. I like this contrast as the song has a fairly bright feel to it but the season which inspires this feel is cold and gloomy. So the mix of cold and warm colour represents the clash between connotations.
Assessment 31/10/13
At the moment, your blog is reaching a low LEVEL
2. This is because you have some of the work on there and have developed some
analysis.
In order to achieve a Level 3, it is really important that
you check the hub and put all work up on there that is missing. It's also
important that you reflect on all work that you have done and tell me what you
have learnt about it. You need a production diary and labels.

Costume Research
After looking at several similar bands and artists I started to see similarities between their choice of costume. Here are some examples of costume from Gabrielle Aplin and Katie Costello:
Or something alike to it just to give little hints towards the feel of the video.
I want the clothing to represent the innocence behind the song as during the winter the season brings out everyone's childish side as everyone enjoys the festive season. I want to convey the events of we associate with winter so that the audience can connect with the video and by the artist wearing this winter clothing will allow this.
Settings and locations
For my music video I will have two main locations. The first of the locations is a sound room at Redbridge College, it has no windows and has access to a large, upright piano. The fact it has no windows means I can control the lighting accurately. Here are some Images of the room:
Here is the piano I will be filming with. I really like the appearance of the piano as it is jet black and looks really professional. Also the piano can be wheeled around within the room to get the best angles.
The second locations are in and around several different parks and rural areas. Bedfords Park, Havering Country Park and Tylers Common.There Isn't a specific area of the locations that I want to film on the day of filming I will bring the shot list and simply find a location suitable and effective.
