My Contingency Plans

My Contingency Plans

My Top Ten Project Killers

What could go wrong during production	How are you going to avoid this issue? What’s your back up plan?
Shoots booked but cameras not being available.	This issue will be avoided by making sure that I have a camera booked alongside my photo-shoot. If this issue occurs I will have to bring in my own camera.
Equipment failure.	This issue is one which can’t be avoided however to prevent this happening I must have backups in place.
Fonts not being installed.	This issue is one that will be avoided by placing fonts onto a memory stick which will let me install fonts onto different machines.
Loosing saved work.	I will avoid this issue by making sure I save all my work in a secure place, I will also save my work onto a memory stick as a back-up.
Running out of network space.	This issue will be avoided if I make sure I have enough space beforehand, if I don’t have enough network space I will have to visit college technicians who will provide me with more if needed.
Computers crashing while producing work.	To prevent this issue I will have to save my work as I go along and then if computers do crash I will have to work on the latest saved copy.
Creating work at home and not being able to access it at college.	I must either make sure all work I do at home I am able to access at college or finish all work at home that I cannot do at college.
Loosing props.	I must make sure that I have all props kept somewhere safe where only I have access to and if this issue appears I must find backups quickly.
Models not turning up for shoots.	I must make sure I tell all my models in advance when I will need them and also I must have a backup model.
Cameras running out of batteries.	I must make sure cameras with batteries are fully charged however if they are disposable I must make sure I have a replacement on standby.
