Production

Turn the treatment
into a shoot plan.

Before the shoot, we plan the shots, schedule and practical arrangements so the crew knows what to capture and how the day will run.

Film lighting being adjusted

Coverage

Translate the treatment into the shots needed to tell the story, including transitions and details the edit will depend on.

People & place

Confirm the participants, crew, locations, access and permissions relevant to the project.

The schedule

Group the work around the practical realities of location, light and availability. A requested date becomes part of planning rather than an automatic booking.

On the day

Keep the agreed purpose visible while responding to the subject. Record decisions that change the planned coverage.
