It is vital to be fully prepared when it comes to our photo-shoot, this is because if anything goes wrong we need to be prepared. If we aren't then we could waste a lot of time and effort. I have broken these things down into sections of equipment, facilities and personnel. Under each list I have written some of the things that I think could go wrong and a solution or two for each problem.

These are some equipment that I think will be used within our photo-shoot:
  • Charged camera
  • Tri-pod
  • Lighting
  • Steps
  • Costumes
  • Jewellery
  • Make up
  • Accessories
  • Props
  • Media storage
  • Transport
 There are some problems that could occur with the equipment on our photo-shoot, some of these can include:

The weather could be bad, this could cause some of the clothes to become un-wearable and equipment such as the camera to break. This means that we would have to take umbrellas and rain coats just in case. The weather could also change the mood of our shoot, so if it wasn't right it could change how our pictures come out.

The camera could run out of battery throughout the shoot, this means that we would need back up battery's and make sure the camera is fully charged before leaving. The cameras memory storage could also become full meaning we would need back up SD cards just encase.

The costumes and accessories might not fit the models, this means that we might need to check the sizes and bring more than one size of clothing

Facilities and location that we might need:
  • Toilets
  • Food
  • Location
  • Internet cafĂ©
  • Photo-shoot location

These are all vital to make sure the photo-shoot runs smoothly and quickly without any problems looking for facilities. Here are some problems which could cause this hard to achieve:

The location we choose could be out of bounds or blocked off, this means we would have to have a couple of ideas for several locations we would like to shoot at.

There might not be any internet access so we need to maybe have a device with 3G to make sure we can save and upload images in case of emergency

There may not be any facilities near-by which means we will need to know where the nearest facilities are if there isn't any in the close vicinity

Personnel that we might need:
  • Models
  • Photographers
  • Extras
  • People to help carry equipment and props
There are some problems that could occur with the personnel on our photo-shoot, some of these can include:

The models/photographer might not turn up to the shoot, this means we should have back up people just in case the people cant turn up
