Contingency Plan

In the event that something were to go wrong with my thriller idea and I was unable to go through with either the location (of a school's Chemistry lab), the cast, crew, etc, I must have a contingency plan. A contingency plan is a back-up plan that a director/producer would have in case something goes wrong.

My Contingency Plan:

(Everything here refers to an alternate option)

Location: A different Chemistry room, if unable entirely then I would have to use a room in the Town Hall and set it up to look like a Chemistry Room.

Equipment: Original plan was to use my own digital camera (a Canon) and to have spare set of batteries on hand in case they were to die on me. If, for some reason, my camera were stop working I would have to ask to borrow a camera from Media Studies. It's a given that I would have to ask to use a tripod to steady it. In the event that my camera does not fit the tripod I would try to fix it to a  plank of some sort and fix that to the tripod. It is rather important to have one.

Cast: I have asked 9 people to be my cast but if they were unable to partake in my thriller opening, then I would have to ask another set of people. Preferably, I would choose people that have similar study periods (frees) as me so that communicating to all of them would be much easier compared to hunting down different people at different times. In addition, I could always ask people in boarding at Thomas Adams to act in my thriller as well since we all 'live' at school and are therefore always here.

Editing: This part is extremely delicate as I am still getting used to using Mac's. Either way my filming goes I am getting help from other students and the teacher to put it together. I will try by myself, I'm not the kind to get people to do everything for me.

Props: This area is fairly crucial to the thriller opening. I am going to need conical flasks, volumetric flasks, beakers, and graduated cylinders in order to make it look real. These props are vital in order to achieve a 'Chemistry lab' appearance.

In conclusion, some things are very important to this thriller opening and cannot be 'unavailable' in order to have the proper effect of a sci-fi thriller.
