Continuity Task - 4th Try

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDXotUKK6Hk

From all 4 continuity tasks, which one is the best?

From all of the continuity tasks that we have filmed, I believe that our 3rd one is the best one because it is the appropriate length (not too long and not too short) and although there are bags visible in the background, all of the skills that are required are featured in this continuity task

Risk Assessment

1. Knife

How is this a risk?
Using not just one but an array of knives is a risk because we could severely cut ourselves open with the knives. Also, even though this outcome is not very likely to happen, if someone was misusing the knives, then it could lead to severe injuries, even possibly death.

Likelihood of us hurting ourselves: 4

Severity rating: 4

How to stop ourselves from misusing the knives
To stop ourselves from misusing the knives and hurting ourselves, we will put one member of our group in charge of the knives, so no one that doesn't need to touch/use the knives won't grab one of them and injure themselves.


2. Ice Knife

How is this a risk?
Albeit this knife not being as sharp as the kitchen knife, it could still heavily damage someone as the knife is very heavy.

Likelihood of us hurting ourselves: 2

Severity rating: 2

How to stop ourselves from hurting ourselves
Just like the kitchen knife, we will put one member of our group in charge of the ice knife so other members who don't need use the ice knife don't hurt themselves on it.


3. Candles

How is this a risk?
When the candle is lit, we could accidentally or unknowingly burn ourselves from the flame. Also, if close to any flammable objects, could possibly burn down a room in the house.

Likelihood of us hurting ourselves: 3

Severity rating: 4

How to stop ourselves from burning ourselvesTo stop ourselves from burning not just ourselves, but others in the household, we will move all the candles away from any flammable objects, such as curtains, so nothing burns in the room. Also, we will put one person in charge of the candles so no one goes near them unnecessarily.


4. Fire

How is this a risk?
As we are using fire outside, the weather outside could be highly windy. So if the wind were to blow in our direction, the fire will also blow in our direction, which could make it easier for us to burn ourselves.

Likelihood of us hurting ourselves: 3

Severity rating: 3

How to stop ourselves from burning ourselves
To make sure everyone is safe from the fire, all members of the group will have to keep a reasonable distance away once the fire is lit and burning. Also, when the fire is about to be lit, only one member of the group will go towards the paper to light it so no other group members get severely hurt.

Music Copyright Research



What is music copyright?
Music copyright is where the music and lyrics of a particular song are owned by the songwriter and/or the publisher of the song. Copyright can protect the originality of the song, in terms of artistry and drama. A song is copyrighted as soon as a piece of music is created and documented or recorded. If you have copyrights to a song, you can possess a whole lot of actions which others can’t. These include:

·         Take the music from the song to use on another song.
·         Sell copies of said song to the public in any matter.
·         Perform the song at any type of gig.
·         Broadcast the song on any type of media.

If you were to copyright a song in the UK, then the copyright lasts a period of 70 years from the end of the year where the author of the song dies. If you were to copyright a song outside of Europe, then “the copyright can last for as long as the music is protected by copyright in its country of origin, provided that the length of time does not exceed 70 years.” [information found from http://www.prsformusic.com/aboutus/ourorganisation/aboutcopyright/pages/default.aspx]

In order to get permission to use 2 music tracks in our film, Chloe attempted to contact the two artists who hold the copyright to the respective songs to grant us permission to use the songs.
