Practical routes
Images with a clear purpose
Plan the viewpoint, crop, support and accessible finished edit as connected production decisions.
How to use this route
Write the destination first
A room survey, square collage and captioned film each need a different brief. Choose the task before the equipment.
Review the actual output
A working camera is not a reviewed crop; a transcript is not a timed caption pass. Keep the output and its acceptance check together.
Carry the decision forward
The worksheet records the chosen version, unanswered question and reviewer so the next person can continue the work.
