  • Epilepsy - someone could have a bad reaction to the camera flash causing them to have a fit
  • tripping over wires, there could be a loose wire from the camera causing one of them to fall over and injure themselves
  • fire - as there is electricity the wire could split and this could either burn/ electrocute them
  • dropping equipment

Aim: to further identify those involved in the creation of a printed magazine & investigate issues prior to production


EQUIPMENT - ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS

SD card- when the SD card eventually gets full I will need to back up the previous photos I have taken onto my laptop. If the SD card is too small or big for my computer I will then need to use a USB lead to import my pictures from my camera.

Tripod- My tripod could break and then I would have to either buy another one or get a spare leg from a hardware store.

Lighting- the lighting might  be wrong so I would need to make sure that I bring different lenses and spare pieces

Lenses - There could be a problem with the lenses ( dirty or broken ) so I would need to replace in case of any problems.

PERSONNEL

Availability - People you would want to photo shoot may have made other arrangements and would not be available therefore would have to arrange for another day to photo shoot meaning that other tools may not be free so there could be a big dilemma.

A back up plan - If someone is not available I will have to think of a plan B and a second option

Clothing - The clothing might not suit the performer so we would either have to get other clothing or get another person

LOCATION

There might be a protest in town causing my photo shoot to be too busy

accessibility -
