- 3. Contingency Plan Potential Problem Effect On Production Control/ Mitigation Models don’t turn up/ drop out Slows down the production process • Discuss thoroughly in advance what days and make sure I plan multiple days so there is more opportunities to get the filming/ photos done • Get extra models so I can use them just In case the others don’t turn up Weather is bad Can't film/ take pictures delaying the process off production • Plan ahead and check the weather forecast • Find locations inside that fit my aesthetic Don’t get permission for location Not allowed to take photos there without permission • Make sure before we go out taking photos we don’t need permission Location is crowded Cant take photos as there are too many people • Plan back up locations so there are different options to take photos at Models have no Transport Models cant get to the location, delaying all the production • Work out transport to the location • If needed I can pick the models up and take them to the location Production Time Get behind effecting the whole project process • Plan a schedule ahead as to when I will take photos and where
- 4. Contingency Plan Potential Problem Effect On Production​ Control/ Mitigation Can 't get on with models and they don’t work well I don’t get the photos I want/ not up to the standard that I aimed for • When looking for models interview and make sure I get on with them and they listen to what I'm asking them to do Models don’t know what they're doing Takes longer to get the photos/ videos that I want • Have a rehearsal with the models planning all the photos and videos, to establish how I want them to pose and be in front of the camera. SD card gets wiped/loose all footage Delays production and would have to re shoot everything • One I have taken all my photos/ back up my footage and put it on one drive Don’t have all the equipment I need Means I cant get the footage I want as I wont have the facilities to do it • Book out the kit I need well in advance so It will not effect my production schedule Battery dies when I'm taking photos Would have to stop taking photos and schedule it for a different day • Make sure that the battery is fully charged before taking pictures • Have a spare battery charger Nowhere to plug the lights into If there is no plug I wouldn’t be able to use the lights and it could effect the quality of the photos/ videos • Check the locations where I plan to use lights to see if there are power sources to plug them into Run out of storage Wouldn’t be able to shoot anymore footage • Make sure there is room on the SD card before • Wipe the SD card so its empty • Take a spare SD card for back up
- 6. Theoretical Problems Time management- One of my biggest problems I have faced over the two years is time management. For production I have done a rough time schedule and plan to do a more in depth time schedule in my planning which I will stick to. I plan to take 3 days max on taking photos . I'm going to take most of my photos/ videos out of college time unless its footage I need to film in the college studio. Doing this will give me more time to edit and create different products. By creating a specific plan will hopefully keep me on track and will leave me time to make improvements before the deadline. Models dropping out/ unable to attend- For my FMP in year 1 models dropping out last minute was one of my biggest problems. To prevent been in this situation again I have got extra models for back up. I have also negotiated finance for transport for the models if I can't pick them up or if they have no way of getting there. When selecting which models I am using I have made sure that they get on with each other, will listen to what I ask them to do and are capable to model ( not camera shy ). With the careful selection of models that I have chosen, will hopefully enable the production process run smoothly with no delays.
- 7. Theoretical Problems Location Permissions- For my factual project one problem that occurred and delayed the production process massively was the permissions for the location. It took an extra two weeks to get the permissions through which left me with a lot less time to film, edit the footage and effected the evaluation process. To prevent this problem from happening again I will make sure I don’t need permission in advance but if I do ill negotiate with the owner so I can shoot footage on their land. Finance- One problem that could occur is finance for the models traveling to and from the shoot locations. To prevent any travelling issues I will discuss travelling prices with the models and pay for it or personally pick them up and drop them off. This way I am guaranteed for all the models to turn up enabling production to run smoothly. In terms of outfits for the models, there should be no need to buy clothes as I have planned outfits with the models that they own which fits in with my whole theme of my project. If there is any need for more pieces of clothing I will pay for it.
- 8. Theoretical Problems Concentration, focus and procrastination – One of the main things I struggled with this year is concentration and procrastination. A lot of it is to do with when I'm stuck on a piece of work instead of moving on to something else and going back I panic to the point I just stop working and then get distracted instead of moving onto something else. To prevent this from happening, instead of working on one piece of work for ages I will swap throughout the day which will also help me keep focus more as I won't get bored of working on one specific piece of work. Technical skills- Camera- One problem that occurred when taking photos for my last FMP was the exposure on the photos. Because my photos were taken outside, it was a challenge to balance out the lighting. The sun was too bright and I struggled at points to get the model in the photo without the sun over powering it.
