My contingency plans

What could go wrong during production	How are you going to avoid this issue? What’s your back up plan?
Models failing to turn up to the photoshoot	In order to avoid this issue, I will have other models that are able to be there (as a back up) if the original model fails to arrive. As photo booking will be very limited, I need to ensure I use this time wisely, therefore I will have different people who will be available at this time.
Putting SD card into computer to realise some/ a lot of the photos are out of focus	To avoid this, I will check each photo after I take it to ensure that it is in correct quality; additionally, if it is not, I am then able to take more while I am at the photoshoot. Furthermore, I could also make sure I take a lot of photos whilst in the studio so there is a better chance they will be in good focus. I could also take a few test pictures with different lighting to see which works best.
Camera runs out of batery whilst shooting	As I am only able to book a photoshoot once, I must use my time wisely and get all the photos I need in this short time. I will make sure the camera I am using is fully charged before the shoot aswell as having another one fully charged just in case.
InDesign crashes and looses my work	To avoid this issue, whilst creating my DPS’ I will save each new version of my DPS as it is being made, therefore everytime I save it, it will be the newest update of my work.
Unable to complete photoshoots due to bad weather	As I am taking multiple photos outside, the weather will be something I cant control but something  I can work around; if the weather is so bad that I am unable to take my photos, I will make arrangements for another day to complete another photoshoot. However, in order to do this I must plan my photoshoots weeks before creating my magazine, so there is time to make corrections if I need to.
Fonts fail to install/ remain installed	Most of my fonts that will be used in my magazine will be downloaded from DaFont.com, to avoid these fonts being deleted or lost from my settings I will use the same computer that I downloaded the fonts on whilst doing my work. Also, if my fonts fail to download, I will choose other fonts that I will use incase the opthers fail to work.
Forgetting to provide the props for booked photoshoots	I am using particular props for my photoshoots (mirror, makeup etc) if I forget to bring these props to the photoshoot, I will be unable to complete it as  I initially planned. To avoid this happening, I will bring my props in days/a week before the photoshoot so they are in the college when I need them. However, when doing photoshoots outside, I will prepare everything (camera, props, models, clothing etc) before hand so I ensure not to forget anything; although this will be easier to sort out if I do forget anything as I am able to take photos outside anytime.
Photo shoots taking a long time set up so that you are only left with a short time to get pictures	I will book a photoshoot for an hour in order to get the pictures I need for my magazine, although I will need to prepare and get ready for this beforehand (models dressed incorrect clothes, make up done, tripod set up, etc) In order to avoid this issue I will arive roughly 20 minutes early to begin setting up everything I need for the photoshoot before the booked time has started; by doing this I am avoiding losing time by setting things up before the photoshoot.
Vital files (pictures, text) getting deleted or lost	When all of my fonts are downloaded form DaFont.com, I need to ensure that they remain on my settings on InDesign; to do this I will save to my computer as well as trying to work on the same computer. Secondly, when I have taken all of my pictures for my articles and front cover, they will be saved to my documents on my computer in a separate file to ensure they don’t get lost in amongst other doncuments. To also ensure my photos arent lost, I will save them onto a memory stick and google docs.
Not enough time scheduled for difficult or complex shoots.	Before using my booked photoshoot amount of time, I will plan everything that I will do; models clothing, camera angles, certain shots (long shots or medium) to ensure that I save time not thinking about what to do next.
