Use this when you shoot the studio's own content (portfolio, behind-the-scenes, Reels) or record alongside a real client job: start with the idea and permissions, move through gear and backups, and finish with publishing and a deletion date. The client's job always comes first.

Idea, consent, and brief

8 items
  • The content idea is tied to one service (wedding, newborn, product, corporate, studio rental) and entered on the content calendar with a date.
  • Everyone who will appear on camera signed a written consent with separate boxes for portfolio, social, and ad use, filed before the shoot.
  • Parents gave written consent for any child, baby, or newborn footage, and no name, school, home address, or location detail will be in frame.
