Contingency Plan!

There are many things that could go wrong in pre production, production and post production.
One of the things that could go wrong is that one of my actors could pull out for whatever reason. I have made sure I have a back up actor so i aren't running around trying to find another one when I could be filming.
Another problem that you will see occur in a lot of filming is that a location where you wanted to film is unavailable to use. For example a few of my shots are outside and if the weather is bad I will have a shooting schedule with me in order so that we can go inside and film another one of the shots.
Another thing that could go wrong is that when I'm filming away from home the camera I am using may run out of battery or another thing is that the camera's memory could run out. In order to prevent this from happening I will have a spare memory card with me and also will have spare batteries. A lot of time is saved if this is done.
Another thing that could go wrong is that your tape that you are using could be damaged. This happened to one of my friends in a practise video that he produced. He had to film all the footage again and this adds a time delay on when the prduct is finished. I would get around this by filming the footage on a different tape, or filming the footage twice or more to make
sure I don't lose it.
