Showing the route for photography & film.
Where they run, how long, and who else may use them. Usage sets the licence, and the licence sets the shoot, so this is the first question rather than a line in the invoice.
A written brief naming the deliverables and their use.
Subject, framing, light and treatment are chosen before the day, as a shot list rather than a mood board. This is the step that separates a publishable set from a lot of frames.
An approved shot list and visual direction.
Location, access, permissions, power, timing and light. Anything needing someone else to say yes gets that yes in writing first, because a shoot day is the one step that cannot be run again cheaply.
A confirmed date with access and permissions in writing.
The agreed frames are covered first so the brief is met no matter what the day does. What is left goes on the material the list could not predict.
A covered shot list, backed up on the day.
A selection is cut to the frames that earn their place, then colour, retouching and grading are taken to final. The set is treated as one series, not as separate good pictures.
A finished set, consistent across the series.
Masters plus the crops and formats the agreed usage actually needs, with the licence written down. If the images are going into a site Elya is building, they arrive as part of that build rather than as a folder.
Delivered files and a licence stating what you may do with them.
