Location Shooting Plan Agreement

Outline filming logistics, access details, and operational plans for a location owner.

Overview

The Location Shooting Plan Agreement documents the specific guidelines, restrictions, and conditions governing how a production may use an approved location. It’s completed with input from the location owner and addresses the finer details of the shoot, including what activities may take place and what limitations the production must follow while on site.

This agreement helps protect the location owner, the production, and the school by making expectations clear before filming begins. Clear location rules reduce misunderstandings, support safer production planning, and help maintain positive relationships with property owners and community partners.

Instructions

In addition to completing a Location Agreement with the Location Owner (or authorized agent), the Producer must also complete a Location Shooting Plan Agreement. This agreement gets into the finer details of how the location may be used and all guidelines and restrictions related to the use of the location.

This includes information about: the quantity of crew members; arrival and departure times; parking; craft service; trash; which rooms can be used or not-used; which items can be moved or not-moved; any safety protocols the location may require; and the names/info of the students that location owners should contact during the shooting day.
