General Business ServicesScope Creep4HighFreelance Videographer$ implied
Freelance videographer is given vague direction, no advance information about shoots, and is expected to deliver expanded scope (from three 90-second videos to also three 7-10 minute videos) without additional pay or adequate B-roll footage.
Existing project management or contract management tools don't handle dynamic scope changes, unclear communication, or compensation adjustments for freelancers in creative fields.
