Issue How to combat the issue Who is responsible

Actor’s suddenly being
unavailable to turn up to
shooting.
- Ensuring all actors are clear with the Producer
proposed filming days, considering any Actors
personal commitments before shooting. Production Team
- Should any last-minute issues occur,
have planned reserved shooting days or
consider alternative actors.

Transport issues - Consider alternative routes to the Producer

filming location, for an issue out of our Production Team
control – such as a road closure. Actors
- Think about public transport, looking at
bus routes/ trains.
- Ensure all actors & crew can get to
locations, before proceeding with the
plans.
Camera Issues - Use a backup camera (such as DSLR Camera Operator
or worst-case phone)
- Ensure cameras are fully charged pre
shoot.
- Ensure that enough SD Cards are
provided, uploading footage to
computers after shoots.
Weather - Monitor weather forecast pre shoot, Producer
rescheduling exterior shots to Director
another day.
- Should weather be hit or miss,
prioritize exterior shots to be filmed
when appropriate, shuffling shot list
for the day.
Audio Issues - If having microphone issues, either Sound Operator
rebook new equipment or use
phones,
- If the Zoom recorder is having issues,
connect microphone to either a
laptop or phone, and use recording
software available on them.
- Ensure a dead cat (windshield) is
used for exterior shots where wind is
present.
