Junction Fiver Filming Risk Assessment:
There is to be no using the 'Cherry Picker' crane to get higher shots of the band. This is due to the machinery breaking, someone falling and hurting themselves or dropping equipment over the edge which could be a danger to those below.
When filming at the Junction during the live show wearing ear plugs is advised. They are optional but will probably be preferable to those with sensitive hearing as the noise of the amplifiers may damage hearing. This especially goes for when filming closely to the stage. When doing this it is also advised that the camera man/woman wears headphones (connected to the camera) so that the sound levels can be adjusted.
Filming backstage should be minimal. There is obvious need to be able to film the bands but it is important to not always clog up the hallways as there will be a constant stream of people entering and exiting carrying instruments and equipment. There is not a particularly large amount of room backstage, so this could be dangerous.
There is a model release form printed on the tickets to the Junction. As a result of this it isn't necessary to get permission to use footage of any of the crowd as when they buy a ticket they automatically agree to have themselves on film
Though not essential, it is recommended that those filming sit down for about five minutes every hour since constantly being on ones feet can be very straining.
When filming on stage always be aware of where you are. Make sure you have a clear understanding of how much room you have so as not to fall off the stage or get in the way of a performing band.
Be careful not to drop and/or break the equipment.
There are often wires running around the Junction. Especially on stage and during soundcheck, be careful not to fall over these.
