About this contract

This agreement is for artists and production teams creating a music video together. This hires production services, not ownership of the song or recording.

Key points covered in this contract

  • Shoot scope: approved treatment, music permissions, production budget, and included shoot days.
  • Fee and schedule: the fee, payment dates, and when the work will be completed.
  • Delivery and extra work: what is handed over, and which changes count as extra work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are source files, and are they included with the finished work?
Source files are the editable files used to create a finished result. They can make later changes easier, but may require particular software or licensed assets. A service fee may cover only the finished output; source-file delivery and permission to reuse its contents are separate questions.
When do revision requests become extra paid work?
A request can become extra work when it adds something beyond the original brief or exceeds the included revision rounds. A new concept, extra recording session, or additional format is different from a small adjustment. Correcting work that did not meet the agreed requirements may be treated separately from paid revisions.
Who pays for a reshoot if weather or a location problem interrupts filming?
Responsibility depends on the cause and the production deal. A postponement can leave crew, location, and equipment costs payable even when no usable footage was recorded. A music video production agreement should explain how those costs and any replacement shoot are handled.
