Solutions:
When unwanted natural light comes
through the windows, the blinds can be
adjusted to solve this. Shadows can be
solved by using lamps.
Solutions:
People talking in the house and moving
around making unwanted noise
solution is to tell people when I am
shooting so the noise can be brought to
minimal.
Solutions:
The plug sockets arent in the right
place for a cable solution is to have
an extension lead at hand.
Solutions:
Be careful in my surroundings and make
sure to keep an eye out when filming.

Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

- If my main actor cant make it, then I have another person in mind that
I could contact that would likely be available to do it.
- If something happens which means my room is not available for filming
then there are two other bedrooms I could adapt to work fine.
- If my camera stops working there are 2 other available cameras I could
use.
- If my microphone runs out of battery I have a spare battery to replace
it with.
