Clearances and Confirmations
Contingency Plan
Locations – if we are unable to use ollie or George’s house for
filming, we can use my house fort a backup.
If town is busier than expected or harder to get to or film, we plan on going to
Calcot business park as its more open and easier to get to.

Actors – if any other actors are unable to film then we have a a backup
actor, Samuel who had auditioned with the other so would make a good
understudy.

Equipment – if anything happens to the camera and is unable to be in use

then we have a backup camera that we will take with us just in case
anything happens. If anything happens to the camera mounted
microphone, then I can use the inbuilt mic in the camera. We also have a
LED light that might break and if it does then we can use a phone torch or
regular torch to try to light up the area.
