Shot lists, releases and a brief for your second shooter
Everything for a shoot day is on one screen, Shot list and shoot-day tools.
To open it:
- Go to Home → Bookings.
- Under Coming up, find the booking and press Shot list.
Plan the day, beside it, opens the plan for the day. There is also a link to it at the top of the shot list screen.
The shot list
- Choose a starting list: Wedding, Portrait, Family or Event.
- Press Make the list. The usual pictures for that kind of shoot appear, in groups.
- Press Remove next to anything you will not shoot.
- To add your own, type it in Add a picture, give it a Group if you like (for
example "Family"), and press Add. Leave Must not be missed ticked for a picture you must get; untick it and the picture shows "(if there is time)".
- On the day, press Taken as you get each one. It is crossed out, and the top of
the list shows how many are taken, for example "12 of 30 taken". Press Done to untick it again.
A shoot template can fill the list for you: Use on a booking adds its shots to the booking's shot list.
Releases
Under Releases, press Send a model release or Send a property release.
- It goes to the client on the booking, who signs it on the same page as a contract, with the same record of who signed and when.
- The property release names the shoot's location from the booking.
- Each release can be sent once per booking. If you void it, or the client declines it, you can send it again.
- Releases you have sent are listed with their status.
A brief for a second shooter or assistant
Under Second shooter or assistant:
- Type Their name.
- Add Notes for them (parking, what to wear, which lens).
- Press Make the link. The link appears above the form; copy it and send it to them.
They open it without signing in and see the date and times, the location, the client's first name, the session, the plan for the day and the must-have pictures.
They never see prices, invoices, the client's email or phone number, the client's surname, or anything in the plan for the day that you marked private.
To change the name or notes, edit them and press Save. The link stays the same, so one you have already sent keeps working.
Stop the link working ends it straight away. If you make a brief again afterwards, it has a new link. The link also stops working if the booking is cancelled.
