Not having a

having the needto feel
like I can wingit.
Thiscould affect

thisprojectvery seriously
but one of the attributesto
takingit seriouslyisgiving
myself enoughtime.In
orderto get thingsfinished
and completedforwhen
theyhave to be in.Plus
leavingenoughtime for

seeinghow myprojectcan
improve withbonustime.
George Wetton:I
take fully

makingsure that
there isenough
time control in

everythingfinished.

Cast and crew

irritated or impatient
during filming
The affectthiswould
have iscause a delay
inproduction
because noone will

shouldn’tbe relevant
I wouldtryto resolve this
issue byassign tasksfor
the two to worktogether
alone.Thiscouldleadtime
for bondingandcould
builda stronger
connection.If itdoesthe
opposite, thenIwill have
to fire themandsee who
can replace them.
George Wetton:for
gettingthe cast and
crew to get along
and healthywork
life together.
However,itisn’tmy
full blame if Ihave
takenfull
responsibilityin
tryingto resolve the
issue.
Filesor documents
getting
lost/corrupted/deleted
Thisis a very
commonthingto
happenandusuallyit
happensforthe
strangestof reasons.
i.ve lostdocuments
before andfor
reasons I don’tknow
about.I’m tryingmy
bestand puttinga lot
of workintomy

of themgetlost.
Thenits verytime

alsomany differentvarious
waysin whichyoucan save

by eitheremailingit to

safe I would be tryingto
save themthroughmore
than one differentroute.
George Wetton:
Thiswork hadnot
beendone orheld
inpossession of
anyone inthe
cast/crew.This
meansthat I must
have full control on
my organizational
skillsasto where
stuff is keptand
where it’sthe
easiesttofindit.My
preference being
the one drive.

2. to type everything
back up again.Itsnot
evenlike thatthatI
am doingita second
time roundit will be
quickerbecause I
knowa lot of what I
was doingandi knew
whatI was goingto
say beforehand. So,
thisisgoingto be
rather demotivating.
Camera equipment
and other stuffcould
be lostor stolenifnot
lookedafter properly.
If stuff getsstolenor
lost,thenthiscan but
me in a bad sightfor
not beingresponsible
enoughat looking
afterthe stuff that is
needforproduction.
It will alsoputa delay
on a productionand
if its anythingas
seriousasa camera
thenit will costa lot
due to financingand I
will have toget
lookingtowards

methods.
I wouldgoback and
rememberwhere Ihadthis
piece of equipmentlast.If
it’sa prop. I will have to
lookat nextdaydelivery
and justgets new one

Thenmy brotherhas a few

quality won’tbe asgood
withitbeingan older

withthe 80’s aestheticand
it will make fora good
substitute.
George Wetton:I

will all be stationed
inmy back and my
camera will be in
my camerabag. It’s
justa matterof
rememberingto
bringeverythingon

Someone droppingout
for not having the right
way to transport
If a cast/crew
memberdrops out,
thenthisisa bigissue
because thenthat
will meanhiringout
more people with
short notice.Tocome
on forthe day.They
may be askingfor
more paymenttooas
theymightbe busy
and havingtodrop
somethingelsetobe
able to filmwithme.
The big pointto get
throughis havingthese
discussions beforehand
and seeingthateveryone
has a way of gettingdown.
If it’sa majorissue.ThenI
will getsomeone fromthe
cast/crew to come down
or justsomeone Iknow to
go overand pickthemup.
So that transportissorted,
if its notof the three-trio
includingmyself.Thenwe
can filmsectionsof it
anyway.Sothat no time is
wasted.

Loose the memory

The memorycard
holdsall photosand
videostookonthe
camera.By loosing
this.I will lose all
productionfootage
that isneeded in
orderto complete my
project.Puttinga
massive time
constrainton my
projectas a whole.
Thishas neverhappened
to me before.Ihave had
variousissuesof putting
the memorycard in the
wrongway, but I have
learntsince then.
However,the memory
needstobe keptin places
the entire time.Eitherin
the camera slotand or in
the laptopwhenuploading
the filesonthere.It’spart
of myrole to see that it
goesnowhere lese andits
where Ican see itat all
times.
George Wetton:I
am responsiblefor
makingsure that
the camera that the
memorycard stays
inthe cameraat all
timesanddoesn’t
come out unlessit
needsto.
Having to work

needtolookto see
if there’sany
constructionor just
buildingthatwill be

that will disruptthe
scene.
Actors or people
involvedinthe
production are
unavailable.
If it’smore thanone
actor/actress, then
it’sa biggerissue
because thenthat
meansthat more
people are goingto
be lookedtfor the
role and theymight
not fitinit as much.
As the previously
intendedactor.Itwill
alsodelayfilmingand
require ahigher
paymentcharge for
an addedshort
notice.
Maybe justincase that the
riskeverdoescome up.
Have emergencyback-up
for anyactors/actressthat
can fill inthe role if one
doesdropout. Thoughit
will feel pointlessif there
are no dropoutsbecause it
meansthat someone has
memorisedtheirlineson
the script, but it wasnot
needed because they
didn’tneedtoreplace
anyone
George Wetton:
WhilstIhope there
will be a bitmore
notice thanhaving
that persontelling
me on the same
weekthathe/she
can’t film.Iwill
have to remind
people tofindout
whattheyare doing
on these dates and
it’salrightto film.
Communicationis
keyand I have to be
the one who is
providingitback
and forth.
People whoare taking
part don’t have
consentfrom their
parents
In orderto take on
the role.You have to
be overthe leal age
of 16. If youare
underthen youwill
needpermission
fromyour parents.
Whilsta lotof people
I knowand are
lookingatfor casting
are myage or
around.Thisdoes
leave agap for a
large amountof
people if Idowant
needtomrecast
because of any
furthercontingency
problems.
Thiswill be ok. Like I have
saidbefore I have already
have a rough ideaof who
my castingwill be andthey
are all overthe age of 16.
However,itwon’tbe a big
issue if someone else
wantsto come in for
casting.There are many
additional roles needed
and all theyneedis
permissionwhichIthink
theirfamilies/guardians
will grant.
George Wetton:if I
am hiringout
someone Idon’t
know.Thenitis my
full responsibilityto
findoutwhere they
are subtle forthis
age andtheywill
needa consent

Its upto everyone
to be followingthe

So, it won’ttake that long.
However, itdependson

George Wetton:I
am takingfull

Thenit’snot too bigof an

If any drinksgetspilt
on set, thenitcan
seriouslydamage the
electrical equipment
whichmeansmore
fundingwill be
neededtohire out
more equipmentfor
production. Which
can put a massive
delayonto
production and
messeswith
continuityif the delay
islong.
Keepdrinksawayfromthe

However,I mustbe

Another weatherissue
beingthat there is
rain, and it will delay
production
There can’t be any
rain duringthe scene
where theyare next
to Cliffordtoweror
any shotsof the
trailer.Thiswill affect
the dialogue and
wouldn’tmake sense
to have the
characters inthe rain
duringthat scene.
