Film briefing document – yuk. A form. Actually, a very useful form. Use it to start thinking about the kind of film you want. We can just use it as a basis for a meeting, if you like. Or you can fill it in (short notes and ideas) to help us make the film you want.

Storyboard template 16 x 9 – nine widescreen-shaped boxes with room for notes. Use the storyboard sheet to practise drawing stick people.

Music copyright* – want us to set your film to Gangnam Style? Click to read about the law covering the use of music in video. Does not cover good taste.

Showing a video at events – when you press ‘play’, make sure your audience sees a video.

Filming in public and people’s privacy* – the law explained (by somebody who isn’t a lawyer).

Model release form – secure permission to use a person’s image, voice, opinions and soul in a project.
