Director of Photography Deal Memo

Hire a DP for a motion picture shoot with this Director of Photography Deal Memo.

If additional photography is required after shooting wraps in order to complete production of the picture, the DP will be given the first opportunity to perform the additional work.
The DP will have final approval in the selection, hiring and termination of his/her crew, but the DP and the producer must mutually approve the grip, electric, and camera department.
The DP can request specific crew, but if they fail to work under the producer’s terms and conditions, the producer can terminate them at its discretion.
All services rendered by the DP will constitute a work made for hire and the producer will be considered the author and will have full ownership rights.
The DP will be entitled to receive screen credit in the main titles or end titles (as applicable), as well as credit in paid advertising and one-sheet posters, whenever credit is accorded to the editor, production designer and costume designer.
The DP will have access to the finished picture on a master format when it becomes available.

This Director of Photography Deal Memo template is available as a downloadable MS Word document which is fully editable to fit your needs.
