Thank you, Maurice Vaughan A solid contingency plan could cover several key areas to handle unexpected challenges on set. Some examples:
Backup Locations: Alternative shooting locations in case the primary one becomes unavailable.
Spare Equipment: Extra cameras, batteries, and gear to address equipment failure.
Flexible Scheduling: Built-in buffer time to accommodate delays without disrupting the production.
Emergency Contacts: A list of key contacts, including crew substitutes, service providers, and emergency services.
Weather Plan: Strategies for outdoor shoots, such as tents, alternate indoor locations, or weather-specific gear.
Health & Safety Measures: First aid kits and a clear plan for medical emergencies.
Financial Buffer: Budget allowances for unforeseen costs, like overtime or replacement gear.
It’s about expecting the unexpected and being ready to adapt. Hope this helps!
