Clearances and Confirmations

You need confirmation emails from everyone that is featuring in your music
video. Please screenshot these emails including the dates and times they are
agreeing to paste them below.

If you are filming somewhere that requires permission, please obtain

permission and paste the confirmation below.
Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

Information Solution

Equipment If any equipment breaks or malfunctions

during the filming process. I will make
sure to bring spare equipment and extra
batteries. As I wont have spare for all of
my equipment, I will borrow some
equipment from my friends or the
equipment the college provides.

Vox pops While filming my vox pops, it may be

difficult to get people to answer my
questions for my documentary. This
may be because they might not
have the time to answer some
questions. Therefore, I will need to
give myself more than one day to
finish my vox pops so I can get
answers for my documentary. If I
dont happen get any vox pops,
then I will include more information
on my chosen specialism. This
includes adding more filmclips and
going more into detail on the history
and development of my specialism.
Weather During the filming process, we will
need to check the weather a couple
days before the days we want to
film. This is so the weather is suitable
on the day we have chosen to film. If
it does happen to rain we may have
to film another day.
