RULES OF THE LIST: TWO HOUR BREAK
1. All photographers that wish to cover red carpet arrivals MUST have valid
2. Placement on the red carpet is on a first come- first serve basis.
The first photographer to arrive at the theater/event starts a list of photographer arrivals. The best method for this is to assign a number to the photographer for reference.
3. Photographers are allowed a two hour break while they wait for the premiere/event to start. These two hours may be taken in whole, or in accumulative parts, and must check in and out with whom ever is currently holding the list as they use their time.
4. Time will not be subtracted from a photographers 2 hour break if it is spent in a group approved annex.
5. Once a photographers two hour break has expired, he/she will be downgraded 2 spots every 15 minutes thereafter. After 1 hour (3 hour total) the photographer will be placed at the end of the list and will forfeit his/her prior position on the list.
6. No one is allowed to reserve a spot for another photographer.
7. No one is allowed to place a photographers name on the list if he/she isn’t present.
8. Photographers are expected back at the theater ½ hour prior to press check in time.
If there is space and time, photographers should line up according to their assigned number.
The keeper of the list should announce the list (name and number) loudly and clearly at the entry to the press area.
9. Once a photographers name is called, the photographer then ‘claims’ his/her spot on the carpet. After a position is claimed, the next photographer enters the pit to claim their position. At this time the photographer should remain in their claimed spot so that the following photographers know what space is still available. This continues until the entire list has been called and all photographers have been placed.
10. Any photographers that arrive after the list has been called will be relegated to whatever positions are still available.
