FAQ
What’s the best way to handle revisions or additional requests in a videography contract?
Include a clear clause outlining revision limits (e.g., 2–3 rounds) and chargeable rates for extra edits or reshoots. For example, specify that ‘additional footage beyond the agreed scope’ (like extended interviews) will incur hourly fees or require a supplemental contract.
Do I need to include a ‘makeup test’ or ‘dress rehearsal’ section for wedding videography?
Yes, especially for destination weddings or first-time couples. These clauses clarify whether you’ll document rehearsal footage, who’s responsible for coordinating timing, and whether it’s billable. Some videographers also note if they’ll capture candid moments during these pre-ceremony events.
How can I protect my footage if a client wants to use it for social media without proper credit?
Add a ‘Usage Rights’ section specifying that all social media posts must include your credit (e.g., ‘Filmed by [Your Name]’) and tag you. For commercial clients, require written approval before they repurpose your work. Consider adding a clause that revokes their rights if they misuse your content.
