MAKING MONEY AND IMPACT FROM DOCUMENTARIES PART 2 (CONSENT FORMS)

Documentaries can take you anywhere
- LOCATION AGREEMENT: This is where you request for a non exclusive right to use the location for filming. You would also have to state how long you intend to use it and emphasize the fact that you will cover any damages made during the filming. Its also important to let them know that the footage you cover belongs to you and you can use it in any kind of medium. if they agree to what your documentary represents, they wouldn’t have a problem letting you use it. There are some cases like public places or areas hostile to filming. In this case you might not be able to get them to sign a form but if the subject matter is important, go for it.
