Methembe Darikwa created a contingency plan for their music video project "Re:Re". The plan addresses potential problems and solutions that could occur during pre-production, production, and post-production. Some issues addressed include finding actors, booking equipment, filming locations becoming unavailable, technical difficulties like camera batteries dying or guitar strings breaking during shooting. The plan also provides backup solutions for potential problems that could happen during the editing process like losing footage, computer issues, or internet connectivity problems preventing uploads. The overall goal of the contingency plan is to anticipate problems and have backup strategies to keep the project on schedule if issues arise.

Contingency Plan
Name: Methembe Darikwa
Title of project: Re:Re music video
Potential problem Troubleshooting methods
Pre Production
Struggling to find an actor Ask someone or a friend to stand in
that someone’s place
If we can’t get any camera, tripods
and gopro camera on time.
Higher the equipment within at least
48 hours.
What if I couldn’t get to use Oriental
express due to busy hours?
Look into other places and try to book
another day when possible..
If I can’t arrange transport Ask relative or a friend for a lift.
the cameras are all booked. I’ll use my own camera and my tripod
Production
We couldn’t film in oriental express
or the cinema parkway.
We would have to find another space
or rebook another time.
The camera runs out of battery I’ll make sure that the battery is fully
charged and carry an extra battery.
If the guitar string breaks during the
filming?
The guitar should come with some
spare strings when it’s delivered. Just
bring them when shooting on the day.
What if I can’t move the camera when
filming the performance part in the
studio.
We will improvise by having the two
remaining people take turns on
operating the camera.
If the beach is crowded due the day. Just move to the less populated part of
the beach. The other option would be
to go on a cloudy day.
If my house is busy to be filmed in. Film at night when everyone’s
sleeping or film another day.
Post Production
If I loose the footage during editing Copy the files onto another folder.

editing.

paramount to the footage.
Wifi goes down so that we can not
