This contingency plan outlines potential problems and solutions for a student film project titled "Fender". Issues that could arise during pre-production include struggling to find actors, equipment, or props. The students plan to borrow from their college or friends. Production problems like blocked locations or equipment issues would be addressed by finding alternatives or having backup equipment. Post-production risks such as lost footage or computer issues would be mitigated by frequent saving and having extra footage to edit with. The plan aims to prepare solutions for common technical and logistical challenges that could impact completing the "Fender" film.
