Possible things that might go wrong when filming, and how to avoid this!

While filming, there are some things that our group will have to look out for when filming the music video. Here are some main things that we will have to look our for when filming:

1.  On some occasions, some people don't turn up for filming: The way this can be avoided is to give the actors a plan/schedule when the key dates for filming are and where the meeting point for filming is going to be to ensure it's all organized.
2. The film could run out meaning you won't be able to film any more until you have a 2nd tape this could lead to falling behind on work: We can avoid this by keep a spare tape on us at all times, this means that the filming wont be cut short/we won't miss any of the important shots on that day of filming.
3. Usually a day of filming and acting requires a lot of energy and effort from both filming crew and acting crew. Sometimes, either one of the crews may not have the "effort" to do some things: To make sure the crews have energy, we should give them food, pay for their lunch and drinks etc so they don't go the whole day hungry and feel welcomed.
4. Sometimes, the group may forget to bring their props for the music video: this could be avoided by keeping all the props and costumes together (in one box or bag) instead of them being spread all over the place.
5. Sometimes, because it's hard to get lighting in natural places, you may meet up too late to get the right lighting that you want and therefore, if you're filming the same location but on different days, the color of the shot may change: a way to avoid this (relying on the weather to be the same), the group should have to meet up an hour before the actual shooting time to ensure everyone is there and everything is ready to go as soon as the correct lighting is available to shoot in.
6. The battery on the camera can sometimes not be fully charged and could lead to the group missing out of shooting some of the parts on the day that they could of: a way to avoid this is to leave the camera on charge the night before filming to make sure you have a full battery life. Another thing you could do is bring a spare battery that is already fully charge so you can film for even longer.
7. Sometimes the group can have disagreements which can lead to arguments at the wrong time (during filming) which are crucial moments to work as a team rather than co-operating with each other: a way to avoid this is to create a day plan which is going to happen during the filming and what is going to be filmed rather than planning the filming and what is going to happen during the filming. This can also be done by sticking to the storyboard.
