Abstract Shots: New York
Traffic: Obviously whilst in New York I will have to be very conscious of the traffic around me to avoid being hit by it.
Dangerous Locations: Because I am not from New York I need to educate myself before traveling there on which areas to go to and which to not. Within New York there are areas of less affluence which may be dangerous to be walking round with a camera visible. Therefore to avoid the risk of assault/theft I will cut out going to these areas.
Rain: As I am going in late autumn I will have to be very careful when making sure I am not taking my camera outside if it is likely to be raining. Because I am filming my abstract shots before the performance shots it would be a huge issue if my camera broke.
General Theft: Because I will be carrying around seemingly expensive equipment I will be a moving target. Therefore I will have to remain very vigilant when walking round. I will also have to keep my camera on a strap and either tie the strap round my wrist or hang it round my neck to try and minimise the likelihood of someone being able to snatch it.
Performance Shots: Rehearsal Studio
Fire: Whilst on set I will have to make sure if the actors choose to smoke they do so outside and away from anything flammable.
Tripping Hazards: Because I am filming in a rehearsal studio there will be instruments and cables scattered all over the set. To avoid these causing any issues I will have to make sure that any cables or equipment that isn't crucial to the shot isn't in the way. I will also have to notify the actors of any cables or equipment that may cause issue whilst they move around the set.
Electrocution: To avoid any electrocution issues I will make sure all sockets and electrical cables are away or adequately insulated. As there will be very fragile lights I will need to make sure that the actors and I don't knock them or touch them whilst they are being used. As well as this I will have to make sure any musical equipment which takes high voltage is clearly labeled so that it doesn't cause any issues.
Ear Damage: Because I will be playing the music through speakers for the actors to act to I will need to make sure that it isn't excessively loud to the point where hearing damage could occur. When I have to play the music at a higher level I will insist that the actors use earplugs to reduce the potential damage.
