Ep. 57 The importance of getting consent from your film's participants

Sue Collins Episode 57

When you're making a documentary film it is important that you get consent from the participants who appear in your film, or you might find yourself in quite a pickle. 

I know, sometimes it can be a little unclear as to when and who you need to get consent from. Luckily, in this episode of Moonshine Moonshot I'm going to break down everything you need to know about consent, AKA: how to get permission to use the footage you capture!

Consent forms are sometimes called Talent Release forms or Participant Release forms or Participant consent forms. Basically, its a legal document that specifies the terms they are agreeing to, to appear in the film you're producing. 

So when you're ready, jump into today's podcast and start making movies!
