Contingency Plan

Problem	How will you avoid or solve this problem?
Loose or break a USB drive	Back-up using multiple online storage services such as sky drive or Google drive. I will also ensure that the files will be saved on multiple computers and the college network space. Another method which has proved effective for me in the past is emailing the file to yourself.
You save work in a place and then cant remember where you saved it.	To save time looking for this you could double check that it’s saved in the correct place and also back it up. I will take use of the college’s cloud storage services to search for the files in my work area and then relocating to a more suitable folder.
Camera breaks	Make sure you have a secondary camera or make sure the pictures are going to a SD card. I have my own DSRL which I keep on me most of the time.
Problems with model	If the model does not turn up then I would have a back up model. To check if my model is going to participate in the shoot I will have to keep contacting them on a regular basis using different methods of communication such as Skype, texting and Facebook. If I cannot contact them for any reason I will try to replace the model ASAP.
Make sure that the photos are great quality.	Take a few sample photos at the beginning of the shoot just to check if the camera is functioning correctly, if the photos are out of focus and check the quality of the photos in general. I may need to change some of the camera settings to suit the environment I’m taking the photos in. It maybe case of changing the lens to ensure that the quality is reasonable.
Software breaks or crashes	Make sure that I have a backup of all the work in that software. I have purchased many pieces of software and downloaded on to my own computer such as Photoshop, InDesign and Microsoft word.
Running out of network space	You ask the administrator more network space at least gigabyte. If this does not work then use online storage such as dropbox, external hard drives or just delete files that you don’t need.
Deleting files	Go to the network admin and ask him for the latest back up of the work. Use multiple methods of backing up your work.
