Overview
The Location Agreement is used with a location owner or authorized agent to secure permission for a production to use and photograph a property. It establishes the production’s right to film at the location and documents the basic terms of that access.
This agreement is essential because productions cannot assume permission to film on private or controlled property. Written approval protects the production, the school, and the property owner by clarifying access, usage rights, and the conditions under which the location may appear in the finished film.
Instructions
The Producer should use this contract agreement with the Location Owner (or authorized agent), in order to have the right to use and photograph the interiors and exteriors of the property.
The Producer is responsible for working with the Location Owner to determine the start and end dates for when the show will have access to the location. (The Producer is additionally responsible for drafting a Location Shooting Plan Agreement with the Location Owner.)
All other clauses in the agreement must remain unchanged, unless the Producer is authorized in advance by the Head of Production to make specific amendments to the contract.
