Clearance

The clearance is made up of two essential documents. A ‘Filming Release Form’ and a ‘Location Release Form’. Without these documents it will become a problem for your production in the near future. This process is giving you permission to film in your chosen locations, in areas where there might be residents and locals and even an agreement between your actors and crew.

Filming Release Form

Anyone who speaks on camera or gives an interview will need to sign and fill out this document. You also need to be cautious of people in sensitive areas and so a granted permission will be required. Ages under 16 will need the form signed by one of their parents or guardians. Other small details also need to be checked and noted within the form.

Location Release Form

This document is for showing you have permission to film in a specific location(s). A signature from the owner is permitted and a small text in letter form with regards to the reason for filming in the premises.
