Contingancy plan

Problem
How will you avoid or solve this problem?
Models not turning up
I could have a back up model and remind the models I have on the morning of the photo shoot that the photo shoot is that day.
Memory sticks going missing
Back-up my files on my laptop at home and on my college network space so if the files are lost they can be found again.
Memory sticks corrupting
Use the same version of the software I want to use on every computer that I go on.
Vital files (pictures, text, sounds, footage) getting deleted or lost

Back up the work on the college network, my personal computer and a memory stick so I have lots of copies of the same file and having my files organised.
Running out of network space
Sorting out the files on my network space and deleting ones I don’t need.
Models not turning up in costume
Meet my model before the photo shoot time starts so I can tell them what I want them to look like for the shoot.
Computers crashing after you have spent two hours perfecting a particular piece of work
Save my work regularly on my network space and memory stick.
Fonts not installed on C drives

Save the fonts and put the ones I want on my memory stick so it is quick to transfer them all onto the C drive.
Photographs coming back out of focus after a difficult photo shoot has just been executed

Make sure I take several pictures of each set up before moving on to a new set up.
External shoots planned but bad weather causes you to abandon the shoot

Book an indoor photo shoot slot just in case.
Personnel not turning up because of examination commitments

Have a back-up team (including model, lighting assistant, make-up assistant).
Cameras running out of batteries
Borrow a camera and charge it before my photo shoot time slot.
