Film and Mass Media Program at the UCF Nicholson School of Communication and Media
Location Agreement
Overview
Students should get the property owners, of all the third-party locations they use in their productions, to sign a Location Agreement Form.
The location agreement not only helps to protect UCF and NSCM, but it also benefits the student by clarifying many of the details of the arrangement between the property owner and the student production. The instructor-of-record or thesis advisor may not allow production to begin until all signed copies of this document are obtained or an alternative confirmation has been authorized.
In some cases, in addition to the Location Agreement Form, students may also need to obtain a permit when using or impacting public property. Please discuss each location with your Instructor-of-Record to help determine what is appropriate.
Completing our Location Agreement Form is not required for locations owned by UCF, but student productions are still required to obtain the necessary authorizations to use UCF property or facilities in writing.
Please see the Filming on Campus article for additional information.
Requirement to Disclose
Students are required to provide a copy of the final shooting script to the property owner, and if applicable, business owners as a good faith gesture of transparency.
