Contingency Plan

Nuisances

Remembering the script - Spend time revising it at home, in frees and in-between shots 

Arguing about how we look in the video - just get on with it, theres more important things to do.

Recording sound effects -  Record them and just get it out of the way, use your mouth to make noises or an object if need be.

People messing around - Tell them to grow up and take it seriously.


Minor Problems

Myself going away on 12th Feb - Work hard to complete what we need by the 12th Feb.

Finding the right background music - Spend free time researching and listening to what will fit best.

Someone we need might not be here - Ask someone else if they don't mind and are not busy. 

After effects / Premier / Adobe Photoshop editing - Watch tutorials online.

Lighting - Stand near a light source.

Making sure actors from other groups are available when we need them - Inform them and make it clear to them when we need them.

Effects looking realistic - Keep trying and follow the tutorials carefully.

Locations might be too busy to film in - Find somewhere else that looks near enough the same. 

Bad Acting - Be more enthusiastic and practise more.


Major Problems

The weather - go to an alternative location or film another day 

Lose footage - Film in frees

People not being here (Main character)  - film another shot where they are not needed and film them when they are back 

Commitment - threaten to kick them out 

Finding costumes - Discuss ideas, think and look in your own free time.

People being ill - ask them if they can come in just for part of the lesson 

Getting the sound effects and music - Use a microphone and get it done quickly 

How to get the kitchen scene done - ask politely if we can use the staff kitchen.

Not filming the shots and completing the task in time - Make it priority and film in lessons and in your free time to make sure it is complete.
