Fire fighting/troubleshooting
When planning the photo shoot you will have to plan your way through it for example, if your using your phone you will have to think where you can stop and charge your phone during the day. You will also have to plan where the best time slots will be to take particular shots for example if needing a lot of room for certain photos you will have to think of certain times of certain days where it will be not very busy and you will be able to access the room needed, you will also need to plan for where and when your personal would be available. All this will be in your plan which will need to be flexible for potential problems. When planning you will need to think of everything that could go wrong and have a plan b and other solutions to potential problems.
Potential problems and issues with equipment-
Lighting- May not be able to see what your trying to take images off, you will have to think when the best time to take the pictures are and will have to think what lighting options you made need to have the mot successful images
Camera - Batteries - Rain- Your camera could run out of battery, a resolution to this would be to carry round spare batteries if required or if using ipad/phone carry a charger to chare where possible. If the rain is an issue then a simple thing to do to stop this effecting the camera is get a umbrella to stop the product getting wet.
Lenses- There could be problems with the lenses of the camera (being dirty or possibly broken) You will need spare lenses in case of any problems
Clothes/Props- Clothes may not fit people who are in the images, a way to make sure they do either ask them to bring there items of clothing that would be suitable for the pictures, if purchasing items think of the people who will be wearing the clothes and get a size that could fit different sizes and think of things like belts if needed. You will also need to think how your getting props places, props could be to big to take in certain ways and you will have to think of how your going to get them to necessary places.
Tripod- Your camera/phone/ipad may not fit on to the tripod, when collecting equipment what ever you will use you will need to make sure that the equipment you are using fits and stands up safely on to the item being used as a tripod.
SD card- You could get the wrong type of SD card or when you do have the correct card it may fill up, When taken a few photos you will need to back pictures up on your lap top so if the SD card does fill up the photos will be accessible on the lap top, another solution would be to have spare SD cards so a simple swap would be easy to do and allow you to take more images
Personnel
Availability- Some people you want to be in your photo shoot may not be able to make certain dates. When planning the pictures you will have to see when everyone is available and match up the people that will be in the same images and make sure they can make the certain dates and times.
Image- You will have to think of how people look and who will be the best person for each character. You will have to make sure the equipment is also suitable for the people in the images.
Back ups- You will have drop outs if someone some one is ill or cant make the planned date you will have to have a back up option for someone who can replace the person not attending in the image
Location
Accessibility- People may not know where a place is or how to get there, when planning the shoots you will have to communicate with people and make sure everyone can get to a certain place at a certain time
Best places- Some places may not be accessible at certain times, they could be to busy to perform the shoot or may have some things going on that will affect the photo shoot, when planning you will have to see the best times to go to places and the times you can go in places for example some pubs and stuff may be 18+ from 8 onwards. You will have to think of the best times to go and take the images and what times they will look the best weather you want them busy or want more room so don't want many people.
Facilities
Food and Drink- You will need to make sure you have things around you to make sure you have the requirements you need, you will food and drink to get through the day
