James Gannon is preparing a pre-production document for a project about the video game CS:GO. He will use sound effects from the game to accompany discussion of movement and shooting. Background music from YouTube will also be included. A quiet room and computer are needed. Contingency plans include saving regularly to prevent data loss from software or computer issues. Health and safety precautions involve taking breaks to prevent eye strain and posture issues when working at a computer. The production schedule spans 8 days, beginning with writing a script and ending with submitting the completed work.

5. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Files don’t save on the computer because there
isn’t enough storage
Save to a backup storage device that has space
so you don’t lose your work
software problems make sure the software you use is updated
malfunctioning with the computer constantly save work so that if something
happens you have it saved. Also, save it to a
back up storage device so that you have a copy.
Working to deadline work efficiently and know when the deadline is
so you can hand your work in on time
corrupt files make sure you save your files properly and
back it up on a hard drive.
contributors not being able to record Make sure to have another contributor
available to talk about the game.

6. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
eye straining due to excessive computer use take breaks to eat, drink and just relax in
general
posture may change due to slouching while
working
keep feet on the floor, monitor at eye level and
keep your back straight
trip hazard wires and cables are not trailing along the floor
and are not a trip hazard
electric shock make sure you have dry hands and that all
cables are plugged in properly

hurt your wrists after a long period of time
using the keyboard
