Documentary Paperwork

It's important that I know what documents need filling out for film/documentary so here's a rough breakdown of each document.

Call Sheets & Movement Order - These are important because they will allow all members of the crew to know when they are required on set etc and give details of locations and other vital bits of information. Vital if your working with NFS staff, the public and actors.

Release Form/Documentary Contributors - Everyone who contributes an interview or appearance on the film need to fill out this document or that footage cannot be used in any circumstances.

Location Agreement Form - Any locations used for filming need to be approved by landlords, police, council etc, this document needs filling in before you turn up at the location.

Locations Form Of Indemnity - This document will provide insurance cover for any damages at any given location.

Health & Safety - All shoots/locations need a health and safety assessment before filming begins. You need to visit the location (recce) so you understand the hazards and health risks and then fill in this document.

Photograph & Image Release Form - If we want to use archive footage or photos then this form needs completing by the owner of the copy right.

Production Report - At the end of each day of filming a production report will need filling in so any details of the day can be documented.

Memorandum Of Understanding Between The Composer And Leeds Met - If we wanted to use and none label music we would need the composers permission to use the music in the final film.
