This is A Single-Use Contract Unless Purchased with a Subscription
This Film Director of Photography Agreement is a core contract for film production. The Director of Photography, also known as the DP or cinematographer, is a key member of the film production team responsible for the visual aspects of a film or video project. The DP works closely with the film director to capture and create the desired visual style and atmosphere of the production. A good DP will elevate a director’s vision and introduce ideas and concepts the director may not have considered.
The specific responsibilities of a DP may vary depending on the size and scale of the production, the director’s vision, and the project’s budget. Creating a film contract ensures that the parties making the agreement will have all the proper terms and conditions laid out in advance of the engagement. Without the right contract, you can expose yourself, your company, and your film.
Having the right deal in place is essential to protecting you and your production.
For films, it is essential to document every deal properly to have a clean chain of titles for distribution or acquisition.
This Agreement is a legal document that details the terms and conditions between a Production Company and a Director of Photography and covers the essential elements of the relationship, such as:
This fully customizable agreement has all essential terms and conditions, including compensation, work-for-hire, term, and credit.

I found Creators Legal very helpful and easy to use, that’s why I subscribed for the year. I picked a contract, used the form builder then switched to the Full Editor feature to modify/add certain things that pertain to us.

I loved the fact that I could find legal agreements for all marketing areas: podcast, social media, photography and more in one place! The annual subscription is worthy because I have access to all templates. The interface is also user friendly and very easy to use!
Saul Corona
Easy to use templates, and I like that I can quickly jump on here and send out contracts as I need them. I’ve used single contracts but it’s worth getting the subscription if you’re signing contracts regularly. Better than copy/pasting contracts as I was doing before.

It’s definitely been the most help I have ever had for legal stuff and at a super affordable price. Reviewing their contracts made me realize many things that I was not taking into account and that, in the long run, would hurt me in my business.
