🗓️Shoot Planning

Purpose

Planning is an essential process in production. Without a plan the production may go bust. That is the very reason why there should be a plan before the actual shoot, to eliminate problems that may arise in the future. More importantly, planning allows the production to have premium quality finish.

We are doing this process to plan the shoot. To have an organized shoot and to not forget something. This is after selecting the guest and before shooting.
