Purpose of Consent Forms

It is important that we receive consent forms from our actors as it confirms that they have agreed to act in our film. Although verbal agreement can also be obtained, a consent form can be kept for future reference and is visual evidence. Without a consent form, there is no evidence that our actors have agreed to be filmed, and would be the equivalent of a professional actor not signing a contract to be in a film. This would leave the character usage and film production purposes uncertain for the actor, meaning that consent forms are an important factor to creating an ethical and organised film.
