Clearances and Confirmations
You need confirmation emails from everyone that is featuring in your
production. Please screenshot these emails including the dates and times
they are agreeing to paste them below.
Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back up actors,
locations and equipment do you have?

If my actors, for whatever reason, suddenly have to cancel all appearances

they would be making in my FMP, I have both a male and female back up
actor for both parts. If I have any issues with my DSLR camera, I can hire
another from the Vibe website and return it when I am finished. If, for
whatever reason, I would be not allowed to film in the public place of a
nature reserve, I would simply move to a different section of the forests
surrounding Christmas Common.
