Lo3 Pre-production documents and forms

Once a production schedule is created the following needs to be created.

• Call Sheets
• Consent form
• Location release

The order you would create these documents in would be release and consent agreement, Location permission and then a call sheet.

 Release and consent agreement: A release and consent form is used for ensuring that anyone featuring in a product is aware of the distribution and gives consent to be shown in the product, this is a legal contract and the signature is a legal requirement.

Call Sheet: A call sheet is used to plan and organise a physical shoot this includes costumes, lighting and equipment needed, this is not a legal document however its used for pre-planning. Its ideally made in advance to the shoot and needs to be shown to cast and crew prior to the event.

Location Permission form: Similar to the release and consent from a location permission form is used to ensure that the location that is shown in a shoot has legally agreed to be shown in a distributed product because its a legal document the signature is also a legal requirement.

Consent Form 

• Three main sections of the consent form are the terms, the production teams name and date sent  and the signature of the recipient.
• The person signing the contrast would be the person who is being featured in the product 
• Potential legal and ethical issues faced without this form would be possible fines and even court cases opposing the production team along with the pulling of their product if distributed a common case is ht production being sued for defamation.

Location release Form 

• The similarities between this document and the consent form is that they're both legal and they're both seeking consent.
• The person who owns the land/building or is responsible for it would be the person signing the contract.

Call Sheet

• The type of productions that a call sheet is used for is photoshoots and filming sessions, however the document is usually used if there is more than 2 people in the production.
• A call sheet is used by the production team along with people starring in the product.
• It would be needed before production starts as it allows people to gather props, equipment needed and it allows everyone to understand what they need to do.
