Post Production : Risk Analysis

Casting-wise:

Casting was not an issue for our magazine, as we focused on photographing real children who are working as laborers in various industries. We ensured that proper consent was obtained from both the children and their guardians before capturing any images. This step was essential for respecting their rights and privacy. By choosing to work with actual children in real-life situations, we were able to create a more authentic representation of child labor. However, we made sure to approach the process with sensitivity, ensuring that all participants were comfortable and understood the purpose of the project.

Location-wise:

Location also posed no significant issues, as there are many children working in various industries around our area. We were able to find locations that truly reflected the reality of child labor, whether in shops, markets, or small factories. These environments allowed us to capture the real-life conditions children face in their workplaces. The variety of locations made it possible to showcase the broad scope of the issue, ensuring the magazine would resonate with a wide audience.

Equipment-wise:

We were fortunate enough to have our own equipment, which helped avoid potential delays or issues with arranging tools for photography and editing. Having access to a camera, lenses, a tripod, and editing software like Photoshop allowed us to work efficiently and with flexibility. This ensured the technical side of production went smoothly, enabling us to focus on the creative and storytelling aspects of the magazine.

Weather-wise:

The weather presented a bit of a challenge during our location shoots. Unexpectedly, the temperature was very hot, which made working in outdoor environments uncomfortable. We were in a tight shooting schedule and faced the additional challenge of working during Ramadan, when we couldn't drink water or eat. This made the work even more physically taxing as we had to endure the heat and dehydration while still focusing on capturing the necessary shots. Despite the discomfort, we pushed through to complete the shoot, as it was crucial to capture the essence of child labor and create impactful visuals for the magazine. However, the extreme conditions did slow down our pace at times and added an extra layer of difficulty to the process.

In summary, while there were some challenges, particularly with weather and the physical demands of working in Ramadan, the project was still a success. We were able to adapt and overcome the difficulties to deliver a compelling and authentic representation of child labor.
