I checked the time of when the lighting was
best in the living room. It was best between
11am to 3pm. This will be the best time to
film in here.
I also did a test to see if it would be good to
film with the main light on or off. I’ve
decided to film with the light off because I
thought if I film with it on, it will glare,
making it difficult to see what’s happening.

so filming can go ahead. IF it was raining

23. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Actors might not be available when you need
them. They might be ill or they need to be
somewhere
Ask some people to be backups, and ask other
people to be backups in case the backup people
aren’t available.
Memory stick doesn’t work Save my work in various places so there’s more
than one copy. I can carry on from where I
finished before and I can get it from anywhere I
save it.
The computer crashes or breaks down Talk to my teacher
Save my work in various places (e.g on my
memory stick) so there’s more than one
copy
Camera doesn’t work Check that the battery is in it and is charged up.
Get a spare battery in case the old one is flat, or
talk to college technician
Microphone/audio recorder doesn’t work Possibly a flat battery. Replace the batteries or
charge the old ones up, or talk to college
technician.
I’m not in college Do the work at home or come into college on a
study day.

24. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Wires are in the way – someone could trip over Move the wires to a safer place in the room
(e.g. against the wall/behind something) so
they’re out of the way.
Water could spill over the computer or mac
causing it to break
Make sure water is in a tight water bottle and
away from the keyboard. This will avoid a
spillage.
Electrical appliances such as lights can give me
an electric shock
Always use electrical items correctly, This will
help to avoid getting a shock.
