This document outlines potential problems, effects, and solutions for contingency planning for a film project titled "Fear". It identifies 4 categories to consider: technical, organizational, logistical, and personnel. For each category, it lists potential problems, how they could affect production, and proposed solutions, along with the person responsible. Some examples given include battery failure affecting filming, tripod safety hazards, loose memory cards losing footage, lack of consent to film, and participants being uncomfortable on camera.
