Contingency Plan
Contingency Plan
If we can't get an interview at a Mosque, Vicky has a friend who is part of the Muslim community who said he will give an interview.
We decided that we were swapping the Mosque idea with Chinatown because it's more relevant to what our documentary is about.
When we're filming outside we decided that if it rains we will film inside in a shop that has a view of the markets - Cafe Nero in the Arndale. If we needed outside footage and it starts to rain so the point where we can't film, we can get footage off youtube and give credit at the end.
Also if we're doing interviews in Manchester and they come up short we can do interviews in college with people.
