Interpret a brief to identify intimate content creation requirements

This standard is about reaching agreement and shared understanding of the brief and the creative vision of a production and the required levels of intimacy during pre-production. Risks will need to be identified and an action plan put in place for the intimate content creation requirements to be met.

You will need to liaise with Heads of Department, and any other relevant organisations in order to ensure that the requirements comply with legislation and protocols.

This standard is for Intimacy coordinators.
