PRE-SHOOT READINESS

Keep prepared information and open questions together

Check an item when you have information ready to review. The tool does not assess its quality or completeness. Final scope depends on the products and mutual agreement.

USING THE CHECKLIST

Bring the details together for review

01

Make references specific

Explain what you like in a reference and which directions you want to avoid.

02

Review the actual information

A checked box means you have information ready. Review the details against the actual product.

03

Agree the project scope

Discuss pricing, image counts, timing, sample arrangements and deliverables with the studio.

EVIDENCE AND OPEN DECISIONS

Know what a checked item means

A checked item means the named information or decision is available for the brief. It does not mean the studio has approved the product, inspected a shipment or guaranteed a channel result.
