Clearances and Confirmations
You need confirmation emails from everyone that is featuring
in your Documentary. Please screenshot these emails including the dates
and times they are agreeing to paste them below.
Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back
up actors, locations and equipment do you have?

Narration: If Violet cannot narrate then I will narrate and just accept that It
will not be of a high standard as I am not a professional narrator. I do
however have some recording equipment so it should be fine to set up.
Minatare shots: If something happens which results in me not being able
to use the miniatures set up, I will use stock footage to fill the gaps and
use diagrams. These will be very simple stock motion techniques so I
don’t over complicate the shot.
