What the video covers
Event days move fast, and once a moment is gone, it is gone. This shot list keeps your volunteer photographer on track.
Five phases
Shoot in five phases. Setup: clean signage and the venue before guests arrive. Live event: action, energy and participation. Sponsors: logos with real people around them. Story: emotion, impact and community. Closing: winners, awards and the last group photo.
Capture rules
Shoot wide, medium and close. Favor faces over empty scenes. Take short video clips as well as photos. And if it feels important, shoot it twice.
Goals
Aim for 20 sponsor logo shots, 30 people photos, 10 group photos, 10 to 15 short clips and three to five hero shots. Pair it with the interview questions and the 72 hour media checklist. Find all three at coloradounderpar.com/resource-hub.
