This document outlines potential problems that could occur during a film production and proposes contingency plans to address them. It identifies issues related to equipment, personnel, location, and weather. For each potential problem, it describes the effect on production, proposes a solution or control measure, and identifies who would be responsible. Some examples of problems addressed include equipment not being charged, props not being finished on time, footage getting corrupted, and unexpected people gathering at the filming location. Contingency plans are proposed to avoid delays, such as charging equipment the night before, prioritizing scenes that do not require props, making backups of footage, and finding alternative filming locations if needed.
