Badge required — all exhibitors, confirm on arrival
Brand + booth environment in frame, not just people
Discreet with attendees — finance crowd, ask before tight faces
Trading League slots are the aftermovie's action backbone
Vertical-safe framing in-camera for social cutdowns
Coverage split — Areh (stills) & Tsepo (video)
Both of you are covering the same floor in parallel all day — this isn't a rig split like a solo shoot, it's two dedicated mediums on the same schedule. Default posture: both in position for every Must block below, then split up for keynote/booth rotation during the open Rolling windows so you're not duplicating the same static coverage.
Trading League slots are the priority. There are 5 across the two days — competitor reactions, the leaderboard screen, crowd energy watching it. This is the strongest action material either of you will get all day, for both stills and the aftermovie.
Confirm before/at arrival
- Day 2 coverage — is Love Yourss shooting 21 August too? The Award Ceremony (5:00–6:30 PM Day 2, the organizer's own marquee closing event) is the strongest natural close for the aftermovie. If Day 2 isn't covered, the arc ends mid-competition instead.
- Media/exhibitor accreditation — confirm badges are arranged for both of you before load-in; the manual states badges are mandatory for all exhibitors.
- Filming permission — financial industry crowd (brokers, fintech, crypto exchanges). Confirm with the organizer/PR whether attendee faces and full keynote stage content are clear to film, or if specific exhibitors/speakers have restrictions.
- Trading League slots 2, 3 & 4 — reconstructed by chaining durations, not direct time-stamps (slot 1 at 11:30 and slot 4 at 3:30 PM are direct). The math checks out with zero gaps through 6:30 PM — see the callout above the run of day — but a glance at the on-site screens will confirm it outright.
- Client/organizer contact — no on-site point of contact was named in the manual. Confirm who to check in with.

On the afternoon reconstruction
10:00 AM–1:30 PM and the 3:30–4:30 PM Trading League slot are direct time-stamps from the organizer's manual — high confidence. Everything else from 1:30 PM onward is reconstructed by chaining each session's stated duration forward with zero gaps or overlaps, because the manual's table extracted with columns scrambled. The math lines up exactly (300 minutes of sessions fit 1:30–6:30 PM with no slack), so it should be accurate — but a 30-second glance at the on-site screens when you arrive will confirm it outright.
