Photo route timing and cues

Use this brief to map the guest and film team from arrival point to final frame. It should note stopping points, brand marks in shot, lighting changes, and who clears each section before doors open. Keep the latest version linked from our contact form request so printouts handed to runners and photographers match the live route.

Short entries work best when radios are busy and the route changes after a recce. Break the walk into checkpoints such as parking drop, media wall, sponsor moment, crowd edge, and exit vehicle. During load-shedding or generator changeover, those concise notes help crews adjust camera order without missing the hero shot.

Details that matter on site

A one-page brief suits clipboard use at festivals, mall launches, and night events where people move quickly. Include lens restrictions, flash rules, security holds, and the exact side for talent turns near barricades or retail displays. Add nearby landmarks so out-of-town crew can find each photo mark inside large venues or precincts.
