The document identifies several risks that could impact a photography project for a magazine and proposes ways to mitigate each risk. The key risks discussed are equipment failure (camera, SD card), unfavorable weather impacting outdoor shoots, actors being unavailable, loss of digital files, and images not meeting quality standards. Mitigation strategies include having backup equipment and locations, rescheduling shoots if needed, keeping multiple file copies, and taking additional photos to select the best shots.

1. Risk Assessment
Risk How It’s A Risk How To Aviod It
Camera
This is a risk as when using the
camera to take the images of the
actor, location, costume and props, it
could break.
To avoid this, I must need to take a back
up camera to ensure that I have another
way of taking my images.
SD Card
This is a risk as an SD Card can only
hold a certain amount of memory (for
example 4GB, 8GB or 16GB), and this
could mean that the SD memory is
full, so no more images can be taken.
To aviod this, I have two options. Option
one is to make sure that the memory is
cleared before to ensure that there is
enough space or, option two is to have an
extra SD Card with me.
Location
Weather
This is a risk as where the location is
to take my images for the magazine,
the weather might not be as good as
was expected, such as rain or snow.
This means that the images won't be
able to be taken as otherwise, they
won't look as good as they could have
been
To aviod this, I have a number of options.
One option is to take my images
beforehand, a second option is to have a
back up location indoors, so that I could
use that location if the weather was bad. A
final option I could to to aviod the risk is to
reschedule the date of when the images
are going to be taken.
Actors
This is a risk as if the actor I have
chosen to use are not avaliable, then I
won't be able to use this actor for my
magazine.
To aviod this, I have two options. One
option is to reschedule when I will take the
images, but this might take a long time to
do, and a second option is to have a back
up actor to ensure that I will be able to use
them, so that my images can be taken
still.
Software
This is a risk as if I am using online or
offline software and the work that I
have produced gets lost, then I would
lose more time by doing the work over
again.
To aviod this, I need to ensure that I back
up my work in different places, such as
online servers such as Google Drive or use
an external hard drive. By doing this, the
work that I have produced will be backed
up.
Images
This is a risk as if the images which I
take are not good because of things
(such as extraneous variables) then
this would make my magazine look at
a lower quality.
To avoid this, I must take more that one
image, as then this enables me to choose
the best image out of a selection, so that I
wouldn’t have to take photos of my images
again.
