Potential Issues and Backup Plan

2. Potential Issues
0 The potential issues for filming our documentary may be that we cannot get all of our
actors together at the same time. Due to people having jobs and other activities, it will
be difficult to find a solid time that everyone is free. In order to avoid this issue, we
need to plan where and when we are going to film certain scenes so that everyone
involved is able to be there.
0 Another issue that we might stumble upon is finding a stage that we can use to film.
We would like to have a scene that shows the band playing at a gig but, order for this to
happen we will need to find a location with a stage. We will have research and find
places that will allows us to use their facilities for our filming.
0 The weather is also going to be another issue while we are filming our final
production. If the weather is miserable, we will not be able to film our scenes when we
would have liked to. As well as this, if we are filming on scene over two days and the
weather is not the same each day, we will not be able to film. If the weather is poor, we
will have to postpone our filming and reschedule it for another date, putting us back
on our progress. If the weather is not the same as the previous filming day, we will also
have to postpone the filming and maybe even reshoot the first scene. Putting us far
back on the schedule and meaning that we will have to redo scenes that have already
been film.

3. 0 The final issue that we may come across is the equipment that we will need to film our
documentary. We may find that we do not have enough equipment to film our
documentary. If this is the issue, we may have to ask around and see if anyone that we
know may have equipment that they are willing to lend us. Even worse than this, if we
break any of our equipment we will not be able to film. When making our last short
film, ‘Terror Plane’, the camera broke due to being blown over by the wind while on the
tripod. It caused many issues and put us back on our filming schedule as we had to get
another camera. When filming our documentary, we will be extra careful so that we do
not have this issue happen again.
0 Another issue that we come across is having any equipment malfunctions. Just like not
having enough or the correct equipment, this will put us back on our filming schedule
and mean that we will have to reorganise times with the actors to film. It is a potential
hazard that we do not want to come across as we may not be able to find another time
that we can get all the actors together. Before we go off to film, we need to check all of
the equipment that we will be using so that we do not get to the filming location and
find that we have an issue with the cameras. We will have to check the equipment at
least five days in advance so that we can let all of the actors and group members know
that we will have to postpone the filming that is schedule to be done.

4. 0 An issue that we did not think about happening in our last
production is an accident of any of the members. We need
to take it seriously if any of the group members or actors
are to hurt themselves while on out set and behind set. We
need to create a risk assessment form so that we can
manage an injury if one is to occur. As well as this, we need
to carry around a first aid kit to avoid any serious injuries
and make sure that we are able to sort them out. We will
make all members of the production aware that we have a
first aid kit and risk assessment in case anyone is to get
hurt during the filming process.

5. Backup Plan
0 Molly: For my backup plan, I have decided to keep the band idea as I did not want to completely
verge of the idea of having a band involved. The idea is to have a group of seventeen year olds who
are currently in their A2 studies at Sixth Form. The school that they attend will not allow them to
focus on their dreams of being in a successful and famous band, they are forced into studying
academic subjects instead of doing a creative arts course such as A-Level Music. The group of
seventeen year olds do as they are made to by studying academic subjects and play out of school
time. They manage to arrange a gig at school with the Performing Arts Department that allows the
band to show off their skills and everything they have learnt themselves. The band members secure
their A*-C grades after completing their A-Level summer exams and go on to being successful
musicians after being recognised while studying at University. The band visit the schools Performing
Arts Department and thank them for backing up their dream and not letting them give up. The
school realise how successful they have become and invite them into the school to take an assembly
to speak to the school pupils. The successful musicians are thrilled that the school have invited them
into the school but explain to the pupils how they never gave up on their dreams, although the
school was stopping them pursue their dreams they still managed to get where they wanted.
0 Francis: The Prime Minister, Russell Brand is on a visit to a zoo with Downing Street Press Officer,
Jane Eyre. While the PM is being shown around the zoo by zookeeper Steven Drip, two of the giraffes
escape their enclosure, rampaging around the zoo frantically. Little does the PM and zookeeper
know about the disaster that will put them both at risk serious risk. It is down to Jane to save the
day and avoid the disaster of hurting or possibly killing the Prime Minister.

6. 0 Jamie: Gordon Ramsay is on an undercover mission to visit a local restaurant
in East London. He wants to find out why the locals are crazy about the
restaurant and why people travel for miles to eat the restaurants delicious
food. Little does he know that that the restaurant is a dining death trap… The
secret to making the food taste so good is the staff themselves, Cannibal Café
is open for business and waiting for its new and mouth drawling visitors.
0 Guy: The documentary/mockumentary follows a real band, Fourth in the
Trilogy, instead of the fictional band, Ballisticide. We follow the band around
on a daily basis to understand the struggle that’s they go through being a
young band trying to get recognised and having run while still in education.
It will be based solely on real events which follows each of the characters,
making the writing process easier. The documentary would also be fairly
easy as there is already footage from previous performances and recordings.
All the music in the documentary is available as it has been made by the
band members of Fourth in the Trilogy.
