Brainstorming:
What types of problems might I face?
- Money
- Under budgeting for my costs and running out of money to fund my project. To help prevent this, I can create a buffer whilst budgeting, so that I have a little extra money that I can spend into in case extra costs arise.
- Time
- Falling behind with my work. To help prevent this, I can create a production plan / checklist to follow as I work so I know what needs to be done by when.
- I may have been too ambitious when planning my project, if so, I may have to reduce the number of tracks, or focus less on a certain area of my project to allow myself to be able to complete the whole project to a good standard.
- Copyright
- Using copyrighted samples in my own tracks. To help prevent this, I will research into copyright and find out how to get the rights to use these samples before releasing the tracks.
- Collaborations
- My collaborators fall out of the project and decide not to work with me, or they cant work with me for any reason. To help prevent this from being a problem, I will fully produce the tracks I plan to have collaborations on, so that if they cant finish the track, I can release my own, already complete version.
- Promotion
- Promotion isn’t effective enough to draw in my target audience. To help prevent this, I will be researching heavily into promotion techniques, paid and free, to help me make better decisions in terms of reaching the right audience and engaging with them properly.
- Equipment
- During this project, I will be heavily relying on my computer, as well as other equipment, to complete almost all of the tasks I have planned to do. If any of the equipment becomes faulty or broken, it would definitely slow me down considerably and cost me more than I might be able to afford. To prevent this, I am going to have to be professional in the way I use all of my equipment, looking after, and mainting, all of it properly.
