Greta Bruce has signed an actor release form allowing Megan Brant to film her for a music video. The release form outlines the terms of Greta's engagement including the number of filming days, expenses to be covered, credit to be given, and assurance that Greta is healthy enough to perform. It protects both parties by clarifying expectations and responsibilities for the filming.

3. Why we need an actor release form…
◦ Term of Engagement: Producers should be entitled to the exclusive services of an actor for X
amount of days/weeks to complete filming of the part. In addition the agreement should set out
if the actor will be required for rehearsals and wardrobe fittings. Subject to the actor's prior
professional commitments, the producer may also require the actor for retakes, postsynchronisation and other post-production services.
◦ Expenses: This sets out what expenses the producer is providing the actor e.g. transport,
accommodation, per diem allowance.
◦ Credit: This clause should state the position of the actor's credit(e.g. front or end credits) and
whether it will appear on a single card in the on-screen credits. It should also state as to whether
the actor will be credited on any advertising material.
◦ Health: Actors should give assurance that they are not suffering from any injury, illness and the like
which would prevent them from rendering their services and are often expected not to engage
in hazardous activities during shooting.
