for certain shots and download to
computer asap.

Low Battery on Camera


Bring charging equipment, alongside
camera and find the nearest
charging station in the Swans gate
shopping centre to charge the
camera back to life.

Production
Location no longer available
Find an alternative location that fits our
vision of the scene or change the scenes
location to fit our resources at hand.

External shoots (weather, sun, rain)


We’ll be sure to do an entire scene within
one day, since the weather can change at
any time, but we’ll be sure to get the scene
done to the best quality we can achieve in
the timeframe of day we have.
Cast / crew not on time. Film early in the day so lighting should be
good stiff. If not organize another day to
film because lighting may change too much.

Some cast back out Plan some backup actors who are willing to
step in if the main ones can’t make it

Continuity problems (This could be Plan a time to record which the areas
changing weather patterns, time of day, should be near empty and make sure to
unwanted public etc.) check the weather before we go out to film.

Too many people walking around too If the area we plan to film in gets to busy
film then we will move to a new similar location
which has the same view of what we are
looking are

Weather suddenly changing If the weather goes from sun to rain, then
we will create a plan to film on another day
when people are available and set it at the
same time, so the lighting should be ok.

Equipment has problem on set If the equipment decided to have problems


on the day of filming such as just not
turning on then we will result to backup
options such as mobile phones which have a
good camera on them similar to the
cameras we were planning to use.

Need additional scenes Have alternative ideas. (See plan B


storyboard)

If issues occur, then re-record another day if


Scene 1 it takes too long.
(Bruiser and Dave falling out)
If the park gets too crowded, then record
Scene 2 another day at the same time to keep the
(Robbing the camera crew – Intro) weather and sun the same.

Scene 3 If the area gets too busy or weather goes


(Meeting the Bully, Moses) against us then stop recording and continue
it another time with the same lighting and
weather conditions.
