DHB and EH - Possible Costume Ideas

Pair Task - Deanna Hammond-Blackburn 9164
                 - Emma Hall 9162


The overall group decision on costume was to dress the band in indie clothes, but not in a voyeuristic way. For the singer and the main actor we wanted a look that was inspired buy Mumford and Sons, classy but not overly formal. The percussionist needs to be in simple clothing which doesn't detract from him playing as this is what we want to focus on. The violinist will be dressed in simple, innocent clothing.

Solo Task - Emma Hall 9162

The lifespan of an artist in this genre typically involves adapting to reflect not only your own success but also the meshing together of genres that becomes more and more frequent as time goes on. During the course of their career, ‘Mumford and Sons’ have stuck to a fairly clear brand image, but it has gone through subtle changes as the band has got more popular. The media relating to them initially was surrounded by the idea of a ‘new’ approach to folk, and so the band’s look was appropriately young, with jeans and signature waistcoats that become a recurring look for the band. The folk side of their music is very much enhanced to begin with, as they are photographed against forest backdrops, in country homes or fields, with the occasional tweed waistcoat, fedora hats and beige colours. Their first music video ‘Little Lion Man’ was very simple, staying performative and showing a bare stage and a still camera that kept to basic shots like close ups of instruments, and group shots of the whole band. Their media was limited as "there was no marketing push or TV advertising at the start, just people who came to gigs. It is people who came to see us live, bought the album, and then told their friends who have made this work.” (Marcus Mumford).

For each Hazard/Risk ticked in Table 1, state the following:

• Who is at risk (i.e. C=Crew, P=Public, A=Audience/Contributor, YP=Young Person, O=Others)?
• What the risks are and how the risks are/will be controlled.
• The person (s) responsible for implementing controls.
   

Hazard No	Who is at Risk?	Main Risks Identified	Is the Risk?			Control Measures to minimise Risk (to include who is responsible for implementation)
			Low	Med	High
10	C	Lighting equipment/cables causes a trip hazard	X			All crew members will be sure to be aware of the placement of cables.
12	C	Lights are powered by electricity so there could be a risk of electrocution		X		All lights will be tested before hand and not used by anyone other than the crew members.

31	C	Uneven ground could cause a trip hazard as well as the possibility of the camera equipment being knocked.	X			All crew members will be aware of any particularly uneven patches to avoid, and if necessary, boards will be placed down to create an even surface for the camera and tripod to sit on.
