Rate

The negotiated amount that a client pays for your services or goods. This rate can be paid as a day rate, an hourly rate, or a flat fee as a project rate. The general rule is not to discuss your rate with your fellow crew members unless you’re working for a union shop.

Release Forms

A release form is a legal document that a person who is filmed or documented in some way will sign so that it gives the filmmaker the rights to film them and use that footage in their project.
