Monitoring Blog - Contingencies

What could go wrong during production	How are you going to avoid this issue? What’s your back up plan?
Photo shoots take longer than expected – run out of booked time	I will have to make sure I book as much time as I think I will need plus as extra hour or so to minimise the chances of me running out of time during my shoot.
Models not turning up	Make definite sure beforehand that all my models are available at the time of my shoot, and have reliable contact numbers for them all so that I can get in touch should there be an issue. Alternatively I could have some back up models that are able to step up in the event of my original models being unavailable.
Memory stick lost/corrupt or problems with PC	I will save my work on more than one computer/memory stick and make sure I am also able to access it via my emails.
Studio/cameras being unavailable	I will book both of these well in advance to my photo shoot so I don’t need to worry about this on the day. If they do happen to be all booked out, I will have to look for an alternative location to carry out my shoot and perhaps borrow a camera from a friend who
Pictures coming back out of focus after the photo shoot	Ensure I have the right camera settings and am at the right distance from the model during the photo shoot. If it still goes wrong, book another photo shoot as soon as possible.
Props disappearing	Make sure I have spare and alternative things to use, bring my own props so that I am not relying on anybody else who may lose/forget to bring them.
Fonts not installed	Install them in advance and make sure they are definitely installed and saved in more than one place (for example a memory stick) so that I know they are accessible.
Computer crashing	Do regular saves (every 30 minutes) to make sure there is always a most recent draft, when I’m saving I should be saving to the computer I am working on, to a memory stick and also emailing it to myself so that I am able to access it on another computer.
Models turning up with different costumes	Brief them in advance and then just before the photo shoot so they are aware of what they need to wear/bring. Have a spare costume which I will bring myself so that in the event of them forgetting, I have another costume to fall back on.
Running out of post production time and not having software at home	Make sure I’m following my schedule so I stay on track, if I do fall behind, dedicate time after college to use the software and get the work done.

These are the possible contingencies that could occur during my production, with the list alongside of how I could overcome any and all of these problems, should they actually happen.
