Location Scout & Risk Assessment

 These are pictures that I have taken for my magazine and it's risk assessment

 LOCATION #1 

Turning Point on the road at Teras Ayung Residence #1
Purpose of the shoot:	To take the background picture of my motorcycle magazine cover so that it would confrom to the convention of a motorcycle magazine and to make my subject (ZX-14r motorcycle) look in a favorable way.
Media Language:	sunny, clean roads, outdoors, empty, asphalt road
Pros of Location:	+ Rarely any other cars or motorcycles passing by + Easy access (near to home)
Cons of Location	- Cannot control the lighting  - Cannot control weather
Alternative location:	On the main road (outside of the residence), in the garage
RISK ASSESSMENT
Potential Hazards	Cars, motorcycles, & bicycles passing by  Pedestrians  Animals (stray dogs, cats)
Evaluate Risks	Since it is a road, cars and motorcycles will pass by and might cause a crash to happen It could put pedestrians at risk since they might not know a motorcycle is coming their way Animals would be a nuisance to the photoshoot since some might run after the motorcycle which will ruin the picture and cause harm to the animals themselves
Control Measures	Check the surroundings of the location to make sure no one is near the turning point
Implementation Timeframe	The next 2 days, I'll do the photoshoot

Location #2

Turning Point on the road at Teras Ayung Residence #2
Purpose of the shoot:	To take the background picture of my motorcycle magazine cover so that it would confrom to the convention of a motorcycle magazine and to make my subject (ZX-14r motorcycle) look in a favorable way.
Media Language:	sunny, clean roads, outdoors, empty, asphalt road
Pros of Location:	+ Rarely any other cars or motorcycles passing by + Extremely close (near to home)
Cons of Location	- Higher chance of cars and motorbikes passing by since it's the main road of the residence - Cannot control the lighting  - Cannot control weather - The house in the back is my neighbour, so if motorcycle is too loud (when doing the photoshoot), my neighbour will get mad at me
Alternative location:	On the main road (outside of the residence), in the garage

Reflection: My location choice are all similar so the risk assessment and its contents is basically the same. I can see why this activity can be useful for bigger projects in the future since analysing the risks of the location can prevent any unecessary injury when doing the photoshoot. However, I feel like this location scout and risk assessment acitivity is just common knowledge and I would subconciously be aware of the risks without making a table about it.
